Cloudy again for much of the day but a bit warmer. I woke up early and posted today's Morning Prayer YouTube link to WhatsApp. Another disturbed night's sleep gave me a foggy head. It took me a long time to get started. BT bombarded me with email and text messages reporting on today's broadband activation.
I got in a muddle about an OpenReach engineer installation visit, unsure if it was meant to happen today or tomorrow. I tried to confirm this visit by logging in to the BT app without success. I needed to have a phone signal and be attached to wi-fi for this, but at this stage I wasn't yet on on-line. I had to unpack the router and connect the cables, and power it up. When I did there was no sign of life to start with. It was slower to start than I expected. The initial power-on self test ran a diagnostic check on the connection before the router would receive and send signals. Panic over. Then the chore of adding the new router's long password to various internet devices so they are ready to use when needed, rather than doing it in haste when I need to use them in a hurry
Kath returned home to Kenilworth after breakfast. Rachel investigated coach bookings for her return trip to Heathrow for the return flight to Arizona. We have had wonderful quality family time with all three children at home with us this Christmastide. They must all go their separate ways and live their own lives. but it breaks my heart to part company, conscious that in my condition I may not live to see them all together again in the flesh. They get on so well together, and show us such loving kindness and care.
Rachel us cooked an unusual veggie curry for lunch using fennel, red pepper and chick peas. After we'd eaten, I walked to Parkwood clinic for an acupuncture treatment and did a circuit of Llandaff Fields at sunset on my way home.
More music making with Rachel after supper, then early to bed in an endeavour to shake off persistent tiredness.
