Today I have mainly been trying to install a new satellite dish. It was in a box when I received it, so first I had to assemble the component parts. That was reasonably easy. Next, I had to take my old dish down, that was relatively difficult as it's 12 feet up, so I sent for a man with a ladder (dad) and proceeded to remove it. He decided that the cable was worse for wear, so we ripped that out too.
Now to put up the new dish... wait the holes in the wall for the old dish don't line up with the plate fixings for the new dish. So my father drilled a few new holes. But he used too large a drill-bit and the bolts wouldn't take hold. So now the whole operation has been put back till tomorrow, when I won't be here. So he'll be doing it all on his own. I dread to think what I'll come home too.
On the insomnia side of things, my sleep patterns seem to have returned to a reasonably regular type. I've definitely been sleeping a lot better the last 2 or 3 nights. I probably need to take up hill walking or something so I can get some good fresh air. I'm sure the exercise would help too, if it doesn't kill me first. Yes, I definitely need to take up an outdoor pursuit, especially once I find myself indoors all week long. That day isn't that far off I suppose (already happening intermittently), and I do like a spot of fresh air, as opposed to air-con!
