British in three ways.<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0 The weather was lousy.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0 I did my UK taxes.\u00a0 The observant ones amongst you may wonder why considering that I only recently did them.\u00a0 But last time I was late.\u00a0 And I was fined for being late.\u00a0 We’re sitting here in this miserable weather.\u00a0 Do I want to do my taxes when we’re up in Fiji.\u00a0 No way.\u00a0 They’re done.\u00a0 Yay.<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0 The Royal Wedding.\u00a0 Yes, we did watch it.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 Mainly for Helen but partly for me too I guess.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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.<\/p>\n

Helen spent part of the day baking cakes and biscuits.\u00a0 Fresh in the evening they were delicious.<\/p>\n

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.\u00a0 We made some progress before I was called in for dinner (how old am I?).\u00a0 I brought it back with me and made further progress in the evening.\u00a0 Although the fix is not complete I feel close enough now to believe it is possible.\u00a0 Right now it’s too cold to get out of bed I finish it off.<\/p>\n

The weekend weather forecast is dire.\u00a0 Lots of wind and lots of rain.\u00a0 The vague hint of a weather window I mentioned yesterday is actually less vague now.\u00a0 I don’t trust forecast much beyond 3-4 days but the forecasts are showing a weather window forming Fri\/Sat next week.\u00a0 I will be glued to this one.\u00a0 Please keep your fingers crossed for all of us waiting here.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
