Well, the engineer finally came this afternoon and replaced the modem. It suffered damage in the storm on Saturday 21st September. There was a loud crack and a bright light shot across the room where we were sitting with our evening meal. Apparently it happened to neighbours both sides of us one of them lost electricity, the other one modem and internet. Several other neighbours were affected as well. Unfortunately on the next street the roof of a house was set alight. The occupants were unhurt and sought shelter with neighbours. After twice booking an engineer it was third time lucky. The first visit was cancelled because the service provider assumed that because all other homes in our area had been re-connected ours was too. We made a second booking but no one turned up which was annoying as we'd rushed home from a hospital appointment.
Anyway all is now back to normal - I hope.
Here's a photo of one of our garden visitors, he pops by most evenings and is such a delight to see.
