Wondering how to turn off the blue light on your netgear router? Read on.
Yesterday we had a small interruption to our internet. Tim was investigating his newly purchased NETGEAR Powerline Wi-Fi Extender/Access Point Kit (Wi-Fi Booster) (amazon affiliate link) and inadvertently hit a button somewhere along the way and factory reset the much loved netgear router. This was a bad thing. Particularly as I’d just sat down to…
Taste of Sunrise: Butternut squash and lentil soup.
I love soup. And I particularly love homemade soup. So when I was approached a little while ago, to review a recipe, I leapt at the chance.

I don’t have the scales. But I studied the pictures for a while and then came up with this. It’s also influenced by the…
The old days of blogging.
I miss them sometimes. When all we did was write about our day, and I used to wander round the blogring (must fix it) desperately hoping someone would have blogged.
