  1. I don't understand.

    The technician is coming tomorrow.

    What was this man doing?

    Brushing off the antenna?

    Is that a tv antenna?

    Does your wi-fi, come by this antenna?

    I'm lost. :-)

    3. The chimney is pretty high, it is equal to the third storey as it is way above the barn. We also hope the technician can do something with our internet it is very frustrating at present!! Take care Diane

  2. Chimney sweep - that sounds like a profession from a former era! We don't have a fireplace so it's not something we ever think about.

    1. Very important part of life here. Insurance insists that the chimney is swept every year or if there is a fire in the chimney they will not pay out. Almost everyone here has wood fires. Have a good weekend Diane

  3. To tell the truth, I didn't read the Post Title. It's in a hard-to-read chartreuse color.

    I skip right to the easy-to-read-but-very-tiny black-on-white words, under the weather report.

    1. I think it changes from computer to computer as the writing is quite big for me and very clear. Any bigger it would take over the photos. I do not wear glasses either so...... Take care Diane

  4. The close up of the rose will stay on my mind today. It's such a delicate colour. Good luck with the Internet!

  8. Good idea to keep the chimney soot free. Hope the tech made your WIFI better.

    I am far behind also.

    1. Insurance insists that the chimney is cleaned yearly, if there is a problem and we have no proof of cleaning they will not pay. Cheers Diane
