First World frustrations


After three days work by the cable engineers and a visit from the network supplier on Friday afternoon to activate our router, we still finished the week without any internet service. Waiting for Monday morning to find out what happens next.

On top of that our cable TV went down on Thursday and despite numerous calls to the help desk and a trip into town to re-programme the decoder we are still without a signal. Normally not a problem but with important RWC 2019 matches it was not ideal – at least we could drop into the clubhouse for cold beer and a big screen TV for the Scotland / Japan game this afternoon.

I know that Sunday used to be a day of rest but we started this morning with a 40km group road ride followed by coffee at the Yard, and then on to brunch at Vrede & Lust before returning to the clubhouse for the Rugby.

After some changeable weather, it is now beginning to get warm – 29C this afternoon and 30+ forecast for the week ahead. Meanwhile we had an excellent lunch on Friday at a nearby winery – Avondale – and dinner in Bloubergstrand on Saturday with Sue and Ally and friends.

Hopefully we will resolve the Internet and TV cable problems tomorrow and move on.
