We all arrived in the office this morning to find that we have no telephone service at all.

There was a large storm over the weekend and it appears that some of our telephone wires attached to some sort of telephone pole near our office has come down.

So, it looks as if we will be without telephone connections for the next 24 hours.(according to the experts at British Telecom, who are about to leap into action, and come to our aid :-)  )

When it first happened, it was very interesting, I had this mild sense of rising panic, how will I possibly get by without the telephone?? And yet as today has worn on, it has actually turned out to be really nice.

I have managed to get on with my e-mails, some of my writing work and actually founded time during the day to do some proper studying.

The rest of the team have also managed to have quite a productive day. Strangely enough we still have all of our Internet connection, so everyone has been on Skype talking to people that way.

Actually it’s worked out really efficiently. Perhaps I ought to make it a regular thing – No telephone Monday’s ?

A bit like Naked Friday’s but not as much fun !
