some normality

Spent most of the afternoon rearranging the box room. Tidied up some of the computer cabling and moved the access point. I also setup the VOIP ATA which arrived today. The plan is to upgrade our internet connection to fibre-to-the-house which should speed up both uploads and downloads significantly. It will also save us some money because we will no longer require a phone line. We mostly use mobile phones these days anyway. However to maintain our normal phone we are going to use a voice-over-IP service.

We eventually made it out for our walk and chanced upon a pub in Newington that does take outs. We had a lovely chat with guys in the Aviator and got some take out beer. The last time I was inside a pub is 2 months ago. The Aviator does deliveries and 4 and 8 pint plastic bottles (see extra) of beer.
