So all moved in now, 90% of our boxes emptied and most things up and working, save one, The Telephone & Broadband!

After sweet talking BT into getting a go live for more or less the day we moved in, we sat and waited at our appointed time, which came and went without sight of a highly skilled BT man. 5 minutes after the agreed time we got a text telling us that due to the completion of Line Plant works our appointment will not occur, what the hell does that even mean? other than Oops we forgot. To add insult to injury we then get a text telling us that since we had missed our appointment we would need to reschedule!

Mr Angry was on the phone to BT the next day (well we are in a black hole of telecoms, no mobile reception, no landline and no slowband, sorry broadband. Ah Mr Angry my name is Delores and I am being your home moving assistant today, oh god! Eventually appointment rebooked for another weeks time, what you have to understand Mr Angry is that this issue was unforeseen since no survey has been carried out, really so the BT man who came out 4 days earlier and stood looking at the telegraph pole was a bird watcher was he!

So awaiting the next excuse from BT (Bloody Terrible) which will be we have a tree in the way and it will need cutting back, but then the bird watcher will have spotted that!!!!!

Here we are in an age of technology where the third world are on 4g comms and in this supposed forward thinking country we can’t even get a sodding piece of cable run from a telegraph pole to a house.

Grrrr it makes my blood boil.

Finally handed the keys back for the Beacon yesterday, so hofficially it is nowt to do with us anymore.

Still a stack of boxes to unpack and Mrs Fogg’s persistent requirement to add more things to make it a nice home.

No telephone despite confirmations from BT, and not the slightest bit surprised that they failed to deliver a service at the appointed time, let’s face it they are rubbish! No mobile signal so we are in the black hole of telecoms.

We do actually have a house sign now and a web address for the house (how sad), but since we have no broadband we can do nothing with it.

Here’s to one and all from the current occupants of Wai Nui (why newey) which is Maori for big water (now why do you think it’s called that?).

Good luck to Mr & Mrs CaddyFrog redoing their front room and Mr & Mrs Lucky who move into Tyddyn Yr Helyg today in the snow!

And tis done, a gallant and frought tiring few days for us and The Folks. A very big thank you to Turfman and Turfgal for all their hard work helpinging us move, clean, pack, unpack, build and get Wai Nui up and ready.

Beacon House has now been returned and we have finished opposite the graveyard. Mr Spike is settling in exploring his new house and we still have a few boxes left, but essentially we are in.

Now we can have a chill.
