… some time… Had an e-mail from Openreach this morning to say that they’ve added our address “to our build plans”. I suppose it’s reason for mild optism (and nice to know that Grenoside has not been forgotten in the grand scheme of things), but would be truly amazed if it happened this year. I […]

Having been on Gmail/Googlemail since 2005, I decided it was time for a change to something more decent (and less nosey). I’ve had a free account with Proton Mail for ages, but have now gone the whole hog and got a paid-for account. Took a little getting used to, but, after a couple of days,
The to-do list grows and grows… It seems that the phone was just the beginning…
