Since last Sunday's storm took place, we've been cut off from the outside world with no 3G network. No outside phone lines, no mobile phone, no internet.
You can imagine what it's like trying to run business like that! DH couldn't order fuel so had to stop seeding, couldn't get hold of his clients about spraying their paddocks, couldn't get fertiliser etc, etc.
On the plus side, my house is very clean and there's lots of cake and other food to eat! I've also started on my workshop. The builders made a hell of a mess when they put in the ceiling (damage from NYE storm).

ooh, that wouls be scary, no phones / internet.
Glad your ok Megan :)
-
MJ that is terrible. Glad you are all OK. I often wonder if I would be more productive without phone, Internet etc.

We don't realise how useful it is until it's gone. Glad you're back.
-
You do tend to do other jobs when these things happen - could have been worse MJ if you had no power as well :(
Glad to hear you are up and running again.
-
I don't think I'd be able to cook much if I couldn't access this forum! Glad to have you back
-
Wow I can't imagine what it would be like without any access to the outside world., even more scary would be having a couple of teenagers in the house who would be having severe withdrawal symptons with no internet!! Glad you are all OK.
-
Bet you don't feel so isolated now MJ, that's a long time without communication of any kind.
Glad you made the most of it with lots of cooking and cleaning.
I have been doing lots of cleaning but very little cooking the last few days.
-
MJ, glad you are OK. That is the most NB thing. Although it is a horrible to feel so isolated.
-
Good everything is up and running again MJ.
-
Nice to see you back MJ :)
-
Being so isolated is quite scary. Every time we have a cyclone it happens.. Glad you are hooked up,again.

It's been bloody annoying more than anything. We just don't realize how much we rely on our mobile phones.
When I first came to Nyabing there was no such thing as the internet or mobile phones. We used to think two way radio was the ants pants!
Amazing how life has changed in that time. Mind you, it has been over thirty years...

thirty years....
I was trying to explain to my kids, we had no internet when we were little, only 4 tv channels, no mobile phones.....
We just went outside and played...... :)

And the T.V. stations went off the air at midnight. The shops closed at midday Saturday. Our groceries were packed in brown paper bags....memories.

We went outside to play after school and never came in until dark.

Welcome back at least you have a sparkling house :)

There was no bullying, everyone knew everyone, I must be getting old...

Well I remember that once a whole bunch of us neighbourhood kids were playing hide and seek quite late, maybe 8 PM, when we decided to teach a cheater a lesson by making him hide then we all went home. I guess that was bullying.

I can remember our first Remote Controlled VCR. The remote was attached to a long cord that plugged into the VCR.

I remember watching The Lone Range on a small round screen TV my father won in a poker game.

I remember my next door neighbour's TV was colour - they had a red screen on top of their black and white TV!
We played outside until dark too.
Living in the bush, though, I think I'd go nuts without the internet and mobile phone. It was OK when the kids were little, but now they're grown up and semi-left home I use both to keep in touch.
