3.06.2020 Warm and mellow..

Wednesday 3rd 57-72F, bright but cloudy gain. A walk to the lanes in sunny warmth with a light and pleasant breeze. T-shirt weather. Far more traffic than of late. The countryside is looking very lush and green. Cloud now much thicker than yesterday.

Internet off for over an hour this morning. Is it us or them? Their website shows no breaks in service. And, no, Ms Recorded Message, I can't use their website to discover a problem with the internet to save phoning. Our landline also goes off at the same time. 

A few dark clouds with rumbles of thunder in the afternoon [15.00] Possible showers.

Thursday 4th 53F, overcast and breezy but still quite bright. Heavy rain warning for most of Denmark. Possible 50mm or 2" with thunder. Starting at 10 am so I had better have an early walk. And so it was. A brisk walk to the lanes in spotting rain and even heavier traffic than yesterday.

The internet has been off again despite showing it was connected. Wireless modem? Why would that affect the fiber box? Finally, after waiting five minutes for each side to open, they admit they have a problem. The Internet has become such an important part of life that it is impossible to function without it. 

Friday 5th 50-60?F, a day of sunshine, showers and breezy is promised. An early walk to the lanes in overcast and slightly breezy conditions. Long pauses between traffic.

The Internet seems back to normal as far as instant, browser response times are concerned. Except that it is running at only about 1/4 of the usual speed according to online speed tests. Interestingly, the former speeds were advertised as guaranteed. 200Mbps. Where do I queue [with adequate social distancing] for my refund?
