A proper winter’s morning.

It’s been a glorious -5 overnight.  When I get up and head down to the kitchen I find that it’s just 2 degrees in there.  I turn on the hot tap and a blob of icy sludge falls out.  A tiny trickle of water follows.  Thankfully, after leaving the trickle running for a minute or so, the flow returns, as hot water runs through the system.  The kitchen heater is not working again, but at least the one in the living room is.

Outside everything is white.  The couple of pictures that I’ve taken don’t really do it justice.  It’s stunning.

So, IT work in the office today.  Now we’re talking.  I install ArcView (GIS) onto Steve’s laptop.  That seems to go well.  Then I order a wireless router for the Lodge.  Not totally sure how this setup is going to work yet, especially as the current router doesn’t seem to be acting as a DHCP server (fascinating stuff, I’m sure you’ll agree)…
