With a few other discussions along these lines, we decided that maybe a dumper wasn’t quite what we wanted and so we did a U turn and went back.<\/p>\n
Browsing around the internet for powered barrows we became distracted and it seems that I have spent some more money that I can’t really afford. <\/p>\n
The old in-car DVD player that I use to watch DVDs in here is slowly giving up the ghost. The battery failed ages ago and now it’s being very selective about what DVDs it plays. <\/p>\n
But there on the internet on sale was an AKAI 12-volt TV with build-in DVD player (the new generation DVDs as well), Freeview TV box, 15-inch screen and loads of other bells and whistles and all for … gulp … \u00a3214. <\/p>\n
And with all of that, it draws less that 20 watts. <\/p>\n
i spend a lot of time watching DVDs and I reckon that I ought to have something decent to watch them on without straining my eyes on a tiny 7-inch screen. <\/p>\n
Not only that, I didn’t buy myself a birthday present last month.<\/p>\n
Once we’d done the internet bit we went outside (it was a gorgeous day) and did bits and pieces in Liz’s garden, and I swapped the tyres over on her car from winter tyres to summer tyres (just you watch the snowstorm now). <\/p>\n
Well, it was better than me singing for my supper, and the tea was beautiful as usual.<\/p>\n
This morning though, I did some work on my web pages for the journey to Canada last autumn. First time since 6th of January. <\/p>\n
I’ve loads of other things to do as you know, but I wanted to do something on these pages as a gesture of recommencement.<\/p>\n
Tomorrow I have to write four or five radio programmes. That will keep me out of mischief.<\/p>\n
