Its Valentine Day

Well yesterday with the rain pouring down, yes it rains here and on Tuesday overnight we had really heavy rain, thunder and Lightning and all quite exiting really. The trouble is it topped up the pool and dropped the temperature from 30 C degrees down to 25 C so will have to brave this out. However yesterday morning we headed to the real estate agent a few miles down the road to get a copy of the house contract for next year and also pay the deposit. It had stopped raining by the time we left them and were looking for a bite to eat and an easy good beef burger would be nice and although the agents had recommended one to us it was rather exposed as its normally a warm weather open air restaurant. However we found a place which was nice and right by the inland sea but also a little on the chill side but at least they had some gas heater running so we were Ok, and it was a nice place to return to when it gets warm.

Back to the house and Noel watched some more football, this time it was the Spurs playing Borussia Dortmund and it  was a really good game with BD just edging the first half but in the second half the Spurs came out like a new team and beat them 3 to nil after fully controlling the game. Well worth a watch. Chelsea are due to play on Thursday but not sure if this on US TV or not and will check later.
Had a couple of discussions with the people doing the chimney yesterday and they completed their work and I have paid them so hope it works. And so to bed and then overnight I was disturbed by Michael who was at our house as the Virgin Engineer had come to fix the missing broadband and found the problem, thank heavens and so now our Hive Central heating control is working as is the Wi-Fi internal security camera. At the same time as Michael and the Virgin man was their Jen’s brother in law Peter who does all our painting and decorating turned up to start repairing the ceiling and wallpaper so that it can be dry when its painted next Monday. So hopefully all the outstanding house issues, Boiler problems, Chimney leaking, damaged ceiling, broken broadband will all be finished by early next week and so the Estate Agents can come in to take the final photo. Needless to say Noel really enjoyed being awake from 04.00 for approx. 90 minutes whilst all this was going on.
Finally, I have been using like many other people a programme called ‘Whats App’ which enable phone and video call to people who also have the app. As its free of charge I thought how can this be, well the answer lies in the fact that its now owned by ‘Facebook’ who now not only take you data from Facebook but combine it with your data from What's App and sell it to the highest bidder and of course its used for target advertising. So I discovered that the originators of What's App have started a new programme with great encryption which is so strong that they cannot read it either, so I am giving that a try as I don't like Facebook using my data with approval and selling it for their own income.SIGNAL COMMUNICATION    see link for more info.
