We had sunshine for quite some time yesterday and even sunshine for hours today, It was around noon when the clouds managed to cover the sun fully. Also in the morning there was a thin cloud layer but the sun managed to shine through it.  From now on days will stay just below 0C (32F) but nights will get pretty cold, we might even have the chance to see more of the sun if we’re lucky.

So yesterday I got the new 5G router sent to me. I know I always get frustrated when changing system and nothing ever goes like one wants so I just left the package on the counter until this morning. It is never a good sign when they write must read the instructions before trying to connect. So the first thing I did after our morning walk was to pick out all the things in the packages and to read the instructions. To be honest there wasn’t that much to read more than put up antenna first of all because the system is designed that way.

Ok and of course it said the antenna works much better if it is outdoors. Well they really don’t care if the cables are long enough to put the antenna (a square little thing) at its best location, towards the south east. Well I was lucky there because I could put it on one side of the cottage that is placed south to south east or round the corner with is south east to east. The first wall would have been so much better because then I could just use a ladder to reach the highest point (just three meters above the ground. However the antenna cable wasn’t long enough for that.

Instead I had to lean out from the window upstairs and put it under my window. Leaning out like that while trying to fasten the holder with four small screws isn’t nice and when I was going to put the antenna in the holder it turns out I’ve placed the holder way too close to the windowsill, if I ever have to remove it I’ll have to break either the windowsill or the antenna 🙂 🙂 🙂 The antenna needs electricity so I plugged it in, placed the router on the desk (apparently I should have screwed it to a wall or something but I thought it would be better to have it on the desk.

Well, turns out that there is a cable that needs to be attached from the antenna to the router so at the moment everything is placed just inside the window and I’m pretty sure the monster kitten will do her best to tear it all away during the night 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m also pretty sure that if I screw it to the wall beside the window she’ll try even harder to rip it off plus then she’ll have lots of cable she can chew on as well 🙂 🙂 🙂 I’m mostly proud of that I only had to call my phone company twice to get it to work 🙂 🙂 🙂

It is time to get that last cup of tea for the day, I’ll have nothing to eat though because we had pancakes today and even though we ate those pretty early in the day I still feel full.

Have a great day!
