For about a week so far, our broadband from BT has been intermittent at best... often going many hours without working.
Add this to the fact that the internet is our only access to television currently. This is, at lease in part, a conscious decision - so that we only watch the things that we actually want to, rather than aimlessly flicking through channels and complaining that "there is nothing on". This has, in the large, been positive: saving lots of time and making us a bit more productive.
Add this to the fact that it is a Sunday - with the inevitable "Sunday feeling"
All of this should equal a great positive. The ability to read the things that I don't normally have the chance to read; actually speak to my wife about meaningful things; have the opportunity to reflect on my achievements and weaknesses ahead of Yom Kippur.
What it actually equals though is boredom, lethargy, aimlessness; and a great wonder about how people survived before internet. I pray, this year, for a bit more drive
