6th December, 2018.
Right, it’s definitely Thursday, today!
I’ve just double checked: and I’m decidedly not getting my days mixed up.
So that’s all good!
At any rate, I’ve woken up, this morning, switched on my TV: and immediately changed channels to Radio 4’s Today programme.
But managed to catch a pice on the BBC’s News 24 channel.
Apparently?
The O2 mobile phone network is having issues.
Seemingly? And at the moment?
You can only access the mobile ’net … if you’ve hooked you’re phone up to a wi-fi router.
As an O2 punter with a shiny new smart phone he want’s to play with?
You can bet I’m a little put out … !

On another, and still personal, front?
As you’re possibly aware, I’m job hunting, at the moment.
Something that’s cropped up a few times?
Is simply this: some jobs will ask you for ID.
Photographic ID: a birth certificate, and a recent pay slip, aren’t enough.
As, usually, and very specifically, either a passport or a recent provisional/full driver’s license are the only ones acceptable.
I’ve neither.
It’s lost me a couple of possible interviews.
I have managed to chase the issue up, though, at my regular job centre meeting.
It seems I can apply for a provisional drivers license… and the Job Centre will cover the cost, as it’s deemed helpful to getting a job!
At the moment?
I’m grateful!

I mentioned, a few days ago, that many Western countries were making a point of not using Huawei products in their telecommunications networks: New Zealand being the most recent.
One item I noticed, today?
Was that BT have decided — because of those security concerns — to not use Huawei kit in their 5g infrastructure.
And to try and remove it from other parts of their system.
All to the good, I think.
Except … ?
I’m wondering what our government’s doing or thinking on this front.
Well … apart from worrying about Brexit!
