Finally, after a whole morning, my internet is back working on the HP laptop.  Thankfully, I have had little to do this morning except to get some cider from the local store. I will have to put some apps back on though  at some point,such as the video player, but otherwise, all is good and ticketyboo.
Now, before I forget, I watched the first episode of the six-part series, Loki, on OnionPlay.  From the get-go, I enjoyed it all the way.
Weather today is slightly cooler, and around a much more temperate 24C. I suspect we may get some thunderstorms toward the end of the week.

Poland targets major social media firms with anti-censorship law

The ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which has a conservative Catholic social agenda, argues that big tech companies exercise a dangerous level of control over public debate, censoring opinions out of line with their own liberal world view.

A milder day which as seen some sunshine but not much.

The internet came back on again this morning around 4 AM after being without most of it the previous evening. Anyway, my next broadband payment is due on the 19th so I phoned the supplier, Talk Talk, and wrangled with them. Basically, I wanted a de duction for the inconvenience of their technical problem not giving me access to the net. I WON! I got a £5 reduction on my current bill!!

Meanwhile, I am giving some Archie Shepp Cd's a blast thru the HiFi!

All on the excellent Impulse label.

Yes! Connected to my new broadband and internet. No longer do i need to rely on commercial outlets or the library for my internet access. The last time i had such freedom was when i was living with that despicable cousin of mine.

Weather has been sunny at times, it is dry and yet much colder today.No plans to go and do any visits today as i am waiting for stuff to arrive.
