    Rural Joys

    In the big winds the other day, a sheet of iron blew off a shed in the village....
    It lodged in the power lines. Causing a power outage as you'd expect.

    It appears to have shorted mains voltage to the phone lines - which have gone to the closest earth.

    This was the local exchage across the road.

    Melted equipment....and a voltage surge up the phone lines.

    Fried modems around the village - one of them ours.

    So I'm off line from Sunday for about a week or more.

    With nothing but racebikes here, any ride is a short one, LOL.
    It's more like, get off line and into the workshop...

    As it turns out, I've been offered a modem which should slot into our old computer - so maybe midweek back on.

    Still quite a number locally with no phone service.

    Could your situation be described as ironic? -
