British in three ways.
1) The weather was lousy.
2) I did my UK taxes. The observant ones amongst you may wonder why considering that I only recently did them. But last time I was late. And I was fined for being late. We’re sitting here in this miserable weather. Do I want to do my taxes when we’re up in Fiji. No way. They’re done. Yay.
3) The Royal Wedding. Yes, we did watch it. I bought a new months worth of internet on Thursday going for an option with lots of Gb so we could watch live streaming video of the wedding. Mainly for Helen but partly for me too I guess. It seems the Royal Family has taken a big step into the modern age with this new addition and the way in which they’ve handled the wedding. I’m kind of on the fence as a royalist but I find it hard to think of being British without them so I welcome this fresh update.
Helen spent part of the day baking cakes and biscuits. Fresh in the evening they were delicious.
In a brief lull in the weather I spent some time on Passages looking into a problem they had with their new internet antenna/device. We made some progress before I was called in for dinner (how old am I?). I brought it back with me and made further progress in the evening. Although the fix is not complete I feel close enough now to believe it is possible. Right now it’s too cold to get out of bed I finish it off.
The weekend weather forecast is dire. Lots of wind and lots of rain. The vague hint of a weather window I mentioned yesterday is actually less vague now. I don’t trust forecast much beyond 3-4 days but the forecasts are showing a weather window forming Fri/Sat next week. I will be glued to this one. Please keep your fingers crossed for all of us waiting here.
