.....I am feeling smug because I have mastered the AV receiver settings to allow ARC over the HDMI channel from the Smart-TV and now I am getting 5.1 Dolby goodness when the TV is playing such content.. Whereas before I was only getting 2-channel pseudo stereo over an optical link cable. As the poor $od that was always saying "what did they say?" because the sound was not so good; I am basking in audio I can actually hear. :D

I have no idea what most of that was about. :)
But then.. I drives a 300tdi ;)

Morning everybodies
After 11 years, I'm starting my final week today. :D

I've found out that the stepdaughter of the noob came back to me Island at the weekend and will be self isolating in his house yet he's coming in to the office.
Good job I'll be in my own little office away from the walrus ;)

Have a good day, whatever you're up to.
 
Mornin' all ...

woke up late today, catching up on the previous nights lack of sleep ...

wind has subsided a whole bunch, still threatens with rain ...

I'm toying with the idea of walking into town to get some shopping, not much as I'm not allowed to carry much ...

Still not allowed to drive ...
 
Morning All :D
Not a bad day out there today.:)
Went the long way round to get the paper as I had some cards to post in the distant post-box.
I heard over the weekend that my 86 YO Uncle Ivor (loveliest bloke ever) has just been released (from hospital).
He has apparently been unwell for quite a while and finally was taken to hospital where it was discovered that he had 2 Abscesses on his liver and while they were in there they found he has bowel cancer. :( MRI scan is pending.
It isn't looking promising, but he's a fighter. He told me off for using a stick after my hip replacement (said, "You should get rid of that, pronto.") He's had 3 complete sets of false hips himself.:)
We're in lockdown so I sent him a card wishing him well.
Coffee is sinking fast, and I have much to do today, a trip to the DIY store because I have a leak around my new windows (wet plaster patch inside), and I need to do something about that.
My "internal shutters" need to be wallpapered on the reverse side and then painted. I am quite pleased with how they are coming out. :)
Really enjoying my home-gym efforts, I feel achy but very much alive, so that's good in my book.:)
Have a great day everyone.:D

Didn't go into town ...

Vacuumed under the rear seats of the motorised shopping trolley, if I'm not allowed to drive it, I may as well get all the niggly jobs done, found 1 Bic lighter, 1 stylus and 2x50p pieces ...

Front seat belts are now clean, dry and mostly finished ...
