In case you're interested, I had a letter about the power cut today (its Sunday morning) and the man in charge came to see me to apologise for the confusion over the days and gave me another letter which had a different time to the one I received earlier today! Confused, you bet!
Anyway. they're replacing a pole, just up the road and we'll have no power from 7am - 11am. Think I'll stay in bed.

The film crew are here. I know that because there's a man in a high vis jacket, standing beside a Road Closed sign, just outside my neighbour's house (one house downhill). She's just given him a cup of tea/coffee and a plate of biscuits, which he's put on top of her hedge.
That's as much as I know! The sun's shining and my garden is calling to me more than the man in high vis.

UPDATE
I've been talking to the Hi vis man and watched the filming! There's a small drab green car going downhill, apparently the woman driver has blood on her face and a smashed windscreen. As she drives down the road, two police cars with blue lights drive uphill. They're filming it with a drone. All the action stops outside my neighbour Grace's house, two doors down so you won't see my house!
It was interesting listening to the Hi vis man's walkie talkie....Hold action, pedestrians walking uphill......... "action car" (that's the green car) coming to you".
There were two locals who wanted to drive down the road, when they saw the police cars coming towards them they thought it was genuine - "Have I done something wrong ?". I told them it was for parking in the middle of the road.

I expect to be Missing from here tomorrow as I'm moving my Internet to another provider and I'm not sure how long the switchover will take.
I'll be back as soon as I can. Meanwhile- Play nice.

Afternoon, folks. Internet is back on, but telephone isn't quite there yet! I can ring out but not receive. Very few people ring me anyway.
I've moved from BT (I've been with them since the beginning of time) to Vodaphone because they were about half the price of BT for faster speed.
Wonder what I can spend the money, that I'm saving, on??

All done and dusted now - internet and phone working - the first caller was with BT who was surprised when I told them that the switch had already been made. They were the third person from BT to call and beg me to stay with them. No chance! As I told the other callers, if they can offer me a cheaper rate now, why didn't they do so while I was with them.
