Of sealing wax and string

Yes, we're back online, so you can guess that everything's repaired.

Monday morning, our neighbour called over to tell us that they had spoken to OTE this morning and the cut line had not been reported. Perhaps the guys from the truck were worried they would be charged for the repair? Anyway, our neighbour explained the problem to OTE, so we wait. We were due to go out at 2pm and guess what, the OTE truck turns up at 1.20pm. We wrote down the names and phone numbers of the three houses for the guy to work from and Lainie went over to give him the information. We had to leave after a few minutes, so all we could do was hope. The last thing we saw was the engineer climbing the pole with the long end of the broken cable tide to a rope on his waist. Apparently he had no cable with him to replace the broken section, so he was just going to put a knot in it.



So, here's the picture to prove that you can make a joint anywhere you want. The good thing is that everything works, ISDN, ADSL and we can communicate again. Hats off to OTE, or the engineer we have in this area, he'll get it working no matter what the problem is!
