You may have noticed a lack of participation on my blog for the last few days. On Sunday my satellite feed stopped due to a major power outage.
I have been checking comments as the scheduled posts have gone out via my tablet which is difficult as the signal isn’t that good out here in the bush.
My end of the month posts probably won’t be very prompt and will be in October at this stage as I will be away on the weekend as well.
No worries, darlin. We still love you π€π

Yesterday I read that SKY is planning to phase out satellite dishes in favour of streaming. That’s all well and good if your Internet has a great signal otherwise we’re snookered! Hope all returns to normal very soon. π

Being where I am there isn’t hardly any signal. One bar if I am lucky. I reckon they will give a good discount or give additional data to keep their customers happy.

I really understand! The signals not great out here either — and we are a mere 75 miles from Boston. But when the city ends, so do the services.

Hi Brian. I am in awe of the fact that you need a satellite feed. Hope you are back doing your usual things soon. I gave myself a ‘Last on the card’ reminder and once again was surprised at how surprised I was that it had come round again.

Brian, I hope you don’t mind that I started “Last on the Card” for you this time. We were lucky enough not to have internet issues after the hurricane so I sort of took it upon myself. You can private message me never to do this again if you want. This is one of my most favorite posts all month and when I saw you were having issues….

Hope this gets sorted out soon Brian. I know that some remote islands in the UK are served by radio links for their telecoms, which works well for 95% of the time – but when raindrops of a certain size fall, the connection is lost or degraded (a bit like Radar and Chaff).

When there is heavy rain I loose my satellite feed even if the rain is between me and where the satellite is stationed. This was a power failure at the providers end as my daughter is off the same satellite and didn’t have any problemes

Power outages are so annoying. We are in the midst of Load Shedding in South Africa and put up with outages for over 2 to 4 hours, three times a day. Those of us who can afford it have inverters or generators which cost quite a bit extra just so we can stay connected. We still have to pay the ‘availability’ fee for non-existent electricity! But we are grateful for small mercies. Many cannot afford alternate methods and their small businesses suffer greatly because of it.
I hope you don’t have to wait too long to get your power back.
