Where is my broadband

Gardeningtipbooks,  (Hey where has my broadband gone?) I had thought to myself I would spend my day off on Saturday just pottering around after a hectic week at work. Just have a tidy up and relax and catch up with my internet stuff that seems to have got itself in a bit of a tangle. You know catch up with emails Facebook and the other bits floating about that you ought to have dealt with days ago.

So there I am doing the tidy up bit on my computer when a message arrives that I have run out out of data allowance on my broadband, not to worry just use my other dongle that should have plenty of allowance on it, a quick swop around and that should be it (what) no data for 11 days,(you are joking me right) That is when the panic sets in eleven whole days no Internet I cannot really! Then trying to compose myself and thinking logically just reload the dongle it must have got it all wrong. No it seems like life has come to a shuddering halt and I am back in the dark ages no broadband. Agrrrrr. I sit and look at all the icons on my desktop mmm what can I use here music right let’s have that on. Anything else, hardly a damn thing let me tell you, calculator perhaps. So the idea now is off out to town and visit the shop where I was sold this broadband so I would become hooked on it just like a drug, and if they cannot give me my allowance of broadband that they have gotten me hooked on I may have to torch the place so no others can be induced to purchase this life changing drug called broadband.

After a few hours later having explained my predicament to the shop keeper I left £10 lighter clutching a top up for my dongle and life seemed a little more bearable, I made it more so by having a look around some second hand book shops and purchasing two books, one on Victorian Gardens the other about herbal remedies. After collecting some food provisions I hastened home to apply my top up and restore my internet connection (at last.) What do you mean no sim card detected. Another frantic battle ensued getting the thing to work but I won over in the end. While I had some time with no internet I also managed to get my phone set up for taking photographs uploaded some apps for it and also changed the wiper blades on my car none of which I had found time to do prior to the fact that I realize I do not have enough time to do the things that I need to do let alone the many things I would like to do. Maybe it is time to evaluate what is really needed in my life and what is not. Is all this technology improving my life at all I don’t know! Right I am switching off my computer and going to read my new book on  Victorian gardens while I have a cup off tea and some ginger nut biscuits, Bah who needs technology.

Happy surfing M.J
