Woo Hoo!
I was in the middle of writing yesterday's blog post, when the Engineer arrived.
(Good job I did move the sewing table out of the way in the end)
We got chatting while he was checking the line.
(I bet he was thinking I don't get out much....)
I was telling about the series about 9/11 we are watching.
He escaped up the road to check the box.
When he came back,
I asked "If he ear hurts?"
He laughed, more chin wagging, he kept looking at his watch. He finally tore himself away at 2pm, to get to the next job.
We moved the router about 5 times to see if the speed could get higher. 
Where it was in the first place was the highest speed. 
Late lunch.
Then I chopped up some onions, mushrooms, and garlic.
Fried them up, with the sausages and added vegetables to the red casserole dish.
