Welcome to Episode 132 of my podcast The view from the crow's nest. It is Thursday 15th of October 2020, and it has been a challenging day, good points. What are the good point, what were the good points today. I finished, 12 photos for the calendar. And then in looking through them. I had a feeling that two of them just weren't up to par. And I showed them to sumana without saying anything and she picked out to them that she felt weren't up to par, and they were the same, which confirms it. So, I've got to try and find a few more photos and see if I can find a couple more that fit, actually three more because I need a back cover as well. So, getting there. My breakthrough with the MIDI controller, listen to yesterday's podcast for controlling photo Lightroom was great, really, really pleased about that still works, treat. So that's positive. And then my day started out by getting stiffed by the mobile phone company. I pay, 10, euros every month, the mobile phone, they send you a text message to say you must stop up on the 15th, or like you know runs out on the 15th. So yesterday my internet actually ran out. That's fine so this morning, top, top 10 pounds. And it worked for two hours till midday and then it stopped working. And then when we eventually got Hold on, they said oh yeah cuz top up starts at midday On the fifth day because, obviously, Italy, you know because anything starts on midday when you talk about a naturally, and therefore the 10 euros that you put in this morning was to last month's beyond doesn't carry over so brilliant, thank you very much for that. It's great. So that's how my day started, and then it just got worse, because the removal company called it I called my dad to say, oh yeah we're gonna pick it up today, even though they're meant to give 24 hours notice. So there was a scramble to get things finished that's fine they got there. And then there was this problem or that problem anyway eventually they loaded all the stuff in the van but told me that it was vastly over the weight limit that apparently my size booking takes. And so instead of 1050 quid. It will be 1800 pounds. So, Helens a bit of a blow, which made my 10 pound loss this morning. You know, much smaller. And it took the driver an extra hour that it should have done so therefore it's an extra 20 pounds. So, just that was just disappointing and then the straw that broke the camel's back, my dad got home afterwards because he had been helping and loading it. The Sterling job, and he said I'm really sorry I realised the lesson stuff in the car. Well, your computer monitor, somehow, my computer shipped over the monitors still in the UK. So, 1800 pounds doesn't actually bother me my monitor. So that's frustrating, and they're really, that was, that was, I mean small in and of itself but they really put me over the edge. So I thought I'd come down by trying to update out Tom Tom from the car. I need to find that, I can't update. So then when I put it back in the car never tried it before I put it back in the car. It gave me a nice warning saying, Oh, you should update this because it hasn't been updated in over two years and 22% of it's probably wrong. Thank you. That's very funny. Well, why don't you pick it up data they want to try. So that's been the day. Couldn't get on with anything useful. First, internet problems or morning, you know, loss of internet and then faffing with the removals thing and then this than the other. We did get a bike for me today so now we will have bikes that bike is now with the bike repair shop because of course, just because we spent 50 euros on a secondhand bike doesn't mean that actually works properly. Apparently, brakes need a couple other things so that's in the bike shop, we'll pick that tomorrow then. All four of us will have bikes and theoretically on Tuesday, the removal company will arrive with our stuff. And then we'll have bike helmets as well. Except meanors which we left in escapes can fit in th
