Radio Silence Soon to End
I promise.
A lovely technician (lovely and somewhat gruff) came by our place today and connected our brand new cable. All that is left to do is pore over the instruction manual tonight and set it all up. Good thing my technical German is flawless and I can read manuals in my sleep.
If we never move again it will be because of the tedium of setting up internet.
In fact, it will be because of the tedium of the entire process. I must be getting old. I used to think moving was fun. Then again, I also used to think the flight between Sydney and Europe was fun. Ah, youth.
In the meantime, if you missed seeing my mug on Deutsche Welle, here it is. Isn’t that a gorgeous freeze frame? I am obviously discussing something really worthwhile, like Apfelschorle.
And I hope to be back with more lovely pictures and tales of what has been happening in this northern pocket of the country, soon.
Wish me luck with the internet set up … I’m going to need it.

Cheers from the Netherlands

12 May, 2014 at 8:41 amIt can be the most irritating thing about moving, because it always seems to take so long!

14 May, 2014 at 4:59 pmThe problem is that the “last mile” of cabling aways belongs to Deutsche Telekom, and if you do not get your Internet from them, they’ll always leave you hanging as second-rate customers. I’ve had a similar experience when I moved into my current apartment 🙁
