Welcome to episode one. Hundred and 52 of my podcasts The view from the crow's nest, and it is Thursday, the fifth of November 2020. Remember, remember the fifth of November gunpowder treason and lockdown without internet. Yep, you heard that right. So yesterday evening I discovered just in fact, as I was uploading my pot cost that I ran out of internet Because it's locked down now all the phone shops are shot. So we have no mobile internet, and we can't buy anymore from get any more SIM cards which would have been the fourth SIM card this month. To get internet, we did this morning have a text message from fast web to say, we're going to instal your broadband Please click this link to, to sort out which I thought was massively ironic that in order to get broadband, you have to click a link on a text message. Thus you need internet. Ironically. So apparently now there, we did that. And we did find that there's a Wi Fi hotspot, that I've paid 30 euros to be able to access. But it's it's close enough to a house that the signal sometimes gets here, but it's ropey that it disappears and that it kicks us out. And so that's how we managed to get very sketchy internet, the internet saga continues. very sketchy internet. I can't connect to it from my phone or anything like that. It has to be from an extending Wi Fi dongle with an arrow antenna attached to my laptop in a certain part of the flat. And then it's just like old school television reception where you have to call or hang out the window and wave that you know antenna in different directions. I nearly got a picture. So internet is just painfully nearly out of the picture. But fastweb claim that they're going to send us another text message, to then organise to come in and fix a thing or send us a modem and then we fit ourselves, which is probably likely, but I'm guessing we'll take another five or six working days, minimum. So this is Have any bad and kind of good kind of bad because I can't really do the work. I was planning on doing kind of good because I can't really do the work I was planning on doing and therefore, what did I do today? Well, I kind of gave myself permission to kind of do something I wanted to do, which was watch some courses on music production, different tools that I bought recently, plugin software plugins, and these were courses on how to use those that I've been meaning to do for wanting to do for a while. And basically, I'm just gearing myself up to do music production and get back focused on music, maybe do some fiction writing as well or screenplays. So I don't know whether that's what I'll be able to do. That's what I can do whether to get back to internet I sent a proposal to a new client yesterday. I'm saying yeah, let's get started once you are okay with this proposal, and obviously I can't really do anything about that even if they do So it's gonna be an interesting week or so. To see what happens so that is the view from the crow's nest today. I don't know whether I'm going to be able to even get this podcast uploaded. Certainly not tonight, but maybe we'll be able to do it tomorrow. So yeah, if you've got any thoughts on that, hit me up on Twitter at Romeo Crow. Otherwise bear with because that is the view from the crow's nest today. Oh, what Joyce speak to you tomorrow. I hope Toodle Pip.
