OpenReach turned up again . They had decent they needed to put the temporary connection underground and came intending to dig the drive up but managed to get the cable though the existing ducting for the fibre using a bendy end! At least it means O and S can do my drive now. Skip ordered - they are really busy though so first date available is next Thursday. Rest of day was usual routine/ gardening, pottering, reading and work phone calls . Very long one with LH - hand over(again) of all the operational stuff . Saw L for a walk around Willen Lake. The wind dropped as we got there - it was lovely. Have never seen so many ducklings and ducks in one group before
