The other day, Tuesday, I was watching Netflix while using my Hometrainer. Suddenly, the tv shut off. Didn’t know what happened. Hubby was fixing the router but nothing happened. Evening came and there was still no internet.
The house felt so quiet without music from you tube. I was thinking then, what did I do in my leisure time at those time when there was no internet, yet. Knitting, sewing, writing, crocheting and reading books.
Suddenly, hubby said,“ let’s play scrabble“. I have bought Scrabble 2 months ago and it was not used, yet. I was so happy. We played Scrabble after so many decades. It’s one of my favourite games.
At first, we played in German language but decided to change to English as it was faster than doing the German scrabble. Funny for us as we both thought in English although we played in German words. I am fluent in German language.
Well, I was not able to Mylot or watched Chinese or Korean dramas on Netflix but at least I had a wonderful time playing scrabble with my husband.
So, what do you do when you can’t go online due to technical problem online?

Get irritated and angry then try to figure out how to fix.

I tend to read a lot when my internet is out. I used to do crossword puzzles a lot too, but these days, it’s mostly just reading when the internet goes out.
