Sky!!

What a blow! Yesterday the Sky box gave up the ghost, and would not respond to any of Vin's recovery measures. Totally gone, along with all of the recording we had on it as well. Hence no Countdown for us or Corrie last night for that matter. Oh well, worse things happen at sea as they say!
Anyway, he rang someone up last night for advice and was told that Sky were not very helpful at the mment because off the lockdown but was given the number of a place in Northern ireland who would deliver a new box. Vin rang Sky up this morning and was told that  Sky would deliver a new box tomorrow, but the man would not come in the house, and would talk him through it all from a distance. Vin reckons he knows what to do anyso that is ok. How good is that!! Apparently we are classed as vulnerable because I am over 70 so get priority.So that's good.
Baby Boris!! The Prime Minister and his gorlfriend announced the birth of a healthy baby boy this morning,  Boris's sixth child and his third son.  A bit of good news though amid all of the gloom. 
Much cooler yesterday and today, and quite blowy today as wel. Real change in the temperature over the last couple of days.
Bad news for B.A. workers today, as twelve thousand workers are to be made redundant.  that is a quarter of the staff, and an enormous number of people going to be in trouble.  Doesn't bode well for the holiday  industry.
 Meanwhile here at home Jessie is still carrying on her life as normal,  our next door neighbour rang vin by mistake this morning and he rang back, had a bit of a conversation with her. She said that jack was walking a bit better, and she was waiting for the vets to ring her back with the results of some tests that had been done on him. Hope he is ok, he is a lovely little cat, full of character, and I am sure hates being on cage rest.  Jessie wishes him well, and is still asleep on her banket.

Staying out of the way of him, I might get chased!!
