Wednesday 27 July 2022 — Working Remotely

Tobi had to stay in town today, so I didn’t go to the transmitter site. No need to take a vehicle with only one person, if there is plenty that can be done remotely.

This morning started out warmer than the two previous mornings and the sun has been shining brightly all day. The forecasted high was 79F so we didn’t use the fireplace. In fact, when it got warmer outside than inside, we opened windows to let the warmth in.

We added four more entries to our blog today, hoping to get it up-to-date. Have experienced cases where one entry overwrote a previous one, requiring the reentering of the previous one. It proved to be a tedious duplication of effort (not once, but twice)! Hopefully, the reason for that has been found and won’t reoccur.

We made a quick trip into town so Virginia could exchange some items. I’m getting a little more comfortable driving on the left side of the road. Today, another section of the new four lane highway through Manzini was opened, so we had to learn a new route into town, and back out. On the way home, we stopped by the Sunnyside Butchery close to us to pick up some mince (hamburger meat). The shop was all out, told us they expected a delivery from the abattoir tomorrow, and to come back then.

We had hoped to be done with blogging earlier, so I was only able to do some preliminary drawing with LibreCAD, but it looks like its going to work. There are a few functions that are more cumbersome than AutoCAD (that I used regularly from 1990 to about 2010). With practice, I’m sure drawings made with LibreCAD can be done more quickly.
