Sunday 15^th June

SHE SAID:

After a busy week we decided to stay in today. Geoff tried to fit a new light in Mum’s bathroom, but the new one wouldn’t work either. So, we are guessing it is wiring that is stuffed, so Mum will need an electrician.

We had an hour-long Teams video chat with Julian & Kiyoka; they seemed well.

I caught up with the Blog & continued with my photo sorting.

HE SAID:

Jan’s bathroom light above the mirror had died, so I did the obvious things, but to no avail. I checked the existing tube, then bought a new tube; no luck. Bought a new light body, tried the old and new tubes; no luck. So, without a multi-meter, and being in a block of oldies flats in a different country, I gave up and an electrician will be called. Bugger.

My sister Kathy, who is doing the England leg of the El Camino (well, that is what she is calling it) called me via Whatsapp as her Telstra roaming has buggered up. It was about 3:30pm when she called, and she said that she still has a 5 hour walk ahead of her to her accommodation, so she was a bit cranky, even as I was trying to help. The phone is a "security blanket" for her as a single female walking alone in the countryside, so I can see why she wants it fixed. I couldn't really help her at the time she called as I was in Aldi, doing some shopping, but I have since messaged her by Whatsapp for when she next gets wifi, about the 112 emergency number, perhaps I buy her more roaming credit, clearing the Telstra app cache, and also Google Offline Maps, even if it takes her off the Camino route, just to be safe.
