Advent decoration

At last, my notifications are done. It was very annoying that I didn´t have internet for 3 days. I didn´t know what to do with my break from the outside world but I managed to make the best out of it. No internet but I was still able to binge-watched History and forensic show on our tv. I have watched from Jack the Ripper to the Man in an Iron Mask by Alexander Dumas. It was interesting how the criminal investigators, historians and pathologists worked together for that show. Have you watched the History channel? Anyway, I am back again and I am thankful for that serviceman who came this late afternoon to fix our internet connection. When he left, I did a lot of cleaning and sanitizing the house.

I know I am getting crazy

but I have to keep ourselves healthy and safe. I even pinched my husband's back as he had forgotten to wear his mask but just holding it while talking to that man. Thank you for reading. Update: The photo is my Advent decoration on the table.

I'm not sure if it's too early to say Merry Christmas to you

I don´t mind if it is too early @Adie04. It is December anyway.

@Adie04 That's right. Caroling in every house was an awesome experience for me when I was a child.

@thelme55 yup! If before pandemic, people would do carols at houses. Sadly this times we can't do it anymore.

Better be safe than sorry. I think it's normal. I am too lazy to do that, so when someone come to my house I just stood up in front of my door (I don't allow them to enter my house) and talking. They seem understand that.

Normally, I don´t allow other people to come inside but this serviceman had to come as the connection cable is in the living room. Thanks @Cheyee

@thelme55 of course he has too. It's impossible for him to work if he doesn't see the cable.

I liked Jack the Ripper with Johnny Deep, but the best I have seen was a British Mini series with Michael Caine. I am glad to see you back, it's awful to be 3 days without Internet.

I'm sorry you were without an Internet connection for three days. I'm glad the serviceman got it fixed. I've watched the History channel many times. Right now I don't have cable so no History channel. I've seen The Man in the Iron Mask. Good movie.

Three days of having no internet must have been terrible. At least you had some television which is good to know.
