Net uptime

Our new modem has been in for over a week and besides a slight problem with the cable connecting the antenna to the modem everything is rocking here. I sent a photo of our new set up to my brother because he was curious to see this notebook modem snuggled away there in the rear of the case and was well impressed with it. It’s probably the best radio connection we’ve had since we signed for it   I’ll have to get the Skype reinstalled and the web cam too, It’s been a while since I last used it to chat with my family back over the pond Also I’ll be able to try out uploading the podcasts to Podomatic and see how it all works with WordPress. I downloaded a few things to check out download speed too and everything works just fine so I backed up the wikis we host over at Wikispaces and had a look at finding a good program to make flash exercises for my English students at Cambridge. I already have plenty for the ones over at the other school, more than 200 or so at my last count   I didn’t find anything good though, not that was free anyways hahaha!! I’ll have another look later on after my Business English class this evening.

Farm

At the weekend we visited our friends John and Lucy at their farm. we hadn’t been since last year so it we loaded up with some stuff for the bbq and headed over there. Was blazing hot all day long, I managed to get my legs soaking in the pool. I have no idea if this was good for my thrombosis or not but it was good for me hahahaha!!! We checked out some new plants john got from Roberta’s family farm too, they were doing okay
