Smallest went on the bus to school and I took Small and the Tuba in the car before going off to work. Today I worked in the greenhouse and potted on lots of very tiny things and some lovely echeveria plants. For snack we had an amazing Key Lime and White Chocolate Square (scrumptious). I had to pick the boys up early from school for their dentist appointments. Smallest has chalky enamel and has to have some sealant put on at a later date and Small was fine. Smallest's coat and trousers today were full of mud from a football game he had at school. He said it was because one of his friends got 'the rage'.

Huffle arranged for the Internet provider to visit today after being told we could definitely increase our internet speed when he spoke to them previously. The engineer was due this afternoon and at 9am, unbeknown to us, they changed our connection leaving us without any wifi. Obviously Huffle works from home now so this meant he couldn't do anything online. He spent a considerable amount of time trying to find out what the problem was because they didn't tell us they had cut us off. As he couldn't do any work, he headed out and bought us a new box that enables us to watch anything we want to (but needing the higher speed for it to work). When the engineer arrived he said that the office were wrong in disconnecting us before he got there and then he said we should never have been offered the faster speed because we couldn't get it living in our location. He tried to reconnect us using our old router but couldn't get it to work. He left to talk to his office and two hours later and several disgruntled phone calls and we ended up with our old router at the same speed. I didn't want to tell Huffle "I told you so...." But he does rush into things without properly thinking them through. If he wants something, he has to have it, there and then. Now we are stuck with a box that really needs a much higher Internet speed to work and unless we move......... He did end up hooking it up because we can't take it back anyway. I don't know if it works, Small and I had a go at trying it but we couldn't get anything. Now our Netflix isn't working either. HUFFLE!!!!!!!!
Earlier in the day I made all the components for fish cakes and prepared everything ready to put them all together and then went for a walk in the snow with ClownRose. We have a weather warning in effect as a Storm is due from Colorada with Ice Pellets, Freezing rain and an expected 10-15cm snow due. The snow we have had so far today hasn't settled and it's not too cold. I was told today at work that Winter is never truly over until May and even then sometimes........ NO I DONT WANT TO HEAR ANYMORE SHHHHHHH.
Smallest's football training started back up again tonight and we are pretty sure that two of the team have been cut as they are not appearing on the team emails anymore and they were not there tonight either. Not surprised. One of them is a staunch Hockey player and the other is the one who's Dad complained he was not getting enough playing time. They did have another by playing there today. A new one. Huffle said 'he was okay'.
