The Tea Drinkers Thread

[mightyrooster]

Im feeling down here to MR, the weather hasnt helped of late but i have had no proper internet access here for the last two weeks, there has a been a very localised NBN outage in our area, the phone calls and messages from Telstra have been going around in circles, feels like both of us here at home have spent half our day on the phone every day since the outage. That is why have hardly been on here lately , almost impossible to do things on the phone on this site and others like posting clips etc. Telstra saying it will be fixed by tonight, somehow i doubt it.

Meanwhile i am sitting back at the moment having a cup of tea and a scone with mandarin jam on it.

I can feel your annoyance. I remember when we had a similar outage with TPG. It was so frustrating getting fobbed off continuously or having no one picking up the phone etc. What a pain.

I’m also feeling down about this place. Even this thread, there’s not many tea drinkers left now. I wish everyone could just embrace everyone for who they are and their differences. It doesn’t take much effort to show tolerance and realise if we were all the same, with the same interests and personalities, life would be so much more boring.

We should battle on, down to the last tea drinker

Aah. I don’t like that show but the other half loves it. I could never get past their annoying voices. If I made the effort I may well like it though.

Isn't it nice how a nice sunny day can lift ones mood, woke up today and the sun shining after the dreadful weather over the last week in Sydney, windows are open airing the place at the moment and gave the exercise bike at the Allianz Stadium gym a good work out, just feel so much better mentally now. Also the internet outage was resolved after a two week outage, so good to wake up and see the green light on the modem.
Still have battles ahead with Telstra though with the changing of a plan which we had automatic payment set up but somehow we suddenly started getting paper bills in the mail again and getting charged for them being sent and of course the payments not getting payed automatically, many phone calls saying yes it is fixed and then another paper bill ends up in the mail, it just keeps going around in circles.

It’s amazing how nice weather can change the mood. July was such a freezing cold month. I was seriously over the constant minus 4 to minus 6 overnight temps. That and being kept awake by the furboy in the wee hours. It’s nice to have a few 15 degree days and a week of zero sub zero temps. It’s been very dry and cold here, which seems the complete opposite to Sydney’s wet and humidity. Glad your internet is working again too.

Yes indeed there's no doubt feeling the sun on your back on a winters day can be uplifting.

But I like the rain.
