Thursday - Hot. Really, really Hot.
I woke up this morning because F’s alarm clock was going off. Where was F? He’d already left! He’d forgotten to turn it off. I made a trip downstairs and then fell back asleep. I actually ended up oversleeping again. Oops.
I had a quiet day and morning. I did a load of laundry, no big deal. I had breakfast, saw K here and there in the morning, and I watched some of the TV off the DVR. What I didn’t do much of all day was write my column. I’m not into it this time.
I had a fairly good day, but the temperature in our bedroom got up to 30 degrees today. Yikes. I think it is hotter in the part of the room that I usually inhabit. I probably should have used the air conditioner, but I didn’t. I went downstairs to wash dishes, etc and wasn’t in a hurry to come back upstairs. I gave K a drink and had one myself.

| 32 degrees Celsius at 4:43 pm. 46% humidity. Ack! |
F called fairly early tonight to say he was coming back, so I went downstairs to get things started. Except, he didn’t show up. He took so long that I started to worry (around an hour for a commute that generally takes 20 minutes) so I texted him. He phoned me back a few minutes later. He was talking to his uncle. This uncle phones him and talks for ages about the same old thing. I suggested to F tonight that he give him five minutes and then say he has to go. The uncle even tries to call him when he’s at work.
F finally got back and I got dinner into production. Yesterday we’d bought some frozen fish with vegetables in the grocery store so I stir-fried it and served it up. It was actually rather nice and got good reviews. That kind of fish cooking I can do!
Once again I ended up doing all the washing up from dinner. I am getting rather annoyed by the whole thing. F says he is going to help and then doesn’t. So, I’m not cooking tomorrow night. Someone else can do the deed.
F spent a long time on the phone tonight trying to make arrangements with the new internet provider. He wants to change. I’m rather annoyed at the whole thing. I think if he’d just blooming helped me when we got this setup, we might have had wifi for our phones as well as my computer. He still hasn’t looked at anything from the setup. He was on his cellphone to the company tonight when his mother started calling him to say there was a telephone call for him on the house phone. I went down to tell her that he was already on the phone, but she didn’t understand me and kept yelling for him, even though I went up to tell him. He did go downstairs, only to find out that she’d hung up on that call…!
F and I went out around 9 pm to Komeda Coffee. We both had kakigori with ice cream in it. They were so good! I wish I’d had mine around 4 pm today though! It would have melted in about 2 minutes in our room.
We came back to the house around 11 pm. I took a shower and gave part of the bathroom a thorough cleaning.
I came upstairs and watched a bit of telly. I used earphones so that I wouldn’t keep F awake, but he got up a bit later and turned on the lights and is having an adult beverage now. He’s also turned on the AC for a while. It was almost 30 degrees again.
Anyway, that’s it for me. Not sure what I’ll get up to tomorrow. I really hope that I make myself work on my column as I’ll be very busy next week. Come back later if you like and see how Friday is. Until tomorrow….

Changing providers likely won't help with connecting cell phones by WiFi. I've never heard of there being an issue on that level. Depending on the age of your devices and the type of phones, it could be about compatibility with the speed of the internet. If it's a new service/router that is doing 5 GHz band steering, that can cause an issue and the steering should be turned off, the router rebooted, and the devices rebooted.
If you can see the network on your PC, but not on your phones, then it's likely a case of the router not broadcasting the network ID or broadcasting on a frequency that your phones can't pick up on. You are correct that he needs to look at the set-up, but, to be fair, often details like the ones I'm offering aren't included in the instructions and one must contact the ISP for guidance.
Thanks for visiting again.
Unfortunately, in the two years we have lived here, my husband hasn't felt the need to help me with any part of the internet set up. I was given books and info in Japanese when we moved in and he was never on hand to help with anything. I was lucky enough to be able to connect my computer to the internet, but despite asking him for help many times, help was never given. The place where the equipment is placed is in my mother in law's domain, which means she is always in the way so I am not comfortable working on it there when she is around. And she is always around.
I did try calling for help once, but since the English helpline is very busy I wasn't able to get through. After that, I didn't bother as my computer was connected and that was the most important thing in my eyes.
I am rather worried about this new set up as I am sure I will not receive any of the benefits of having a new and improved (snort) system. I think that once again I'll be on my own, without any knowledge of what is going on.
