The ironing basket is completely empty!

The sun is out so today I may start sorting out the garage (or at least bits of it)

At 15.18

It took a while but, with Thunderthighs' help, I have sorted out the plant pots into square, round, stacked by size, ones I want to keep and those I want to give away.

At 15.44

Yesterday morning Fester complained that the bedroom telly wasn't working, there was just a blue screen.

"It's the ariel" says he twisting it with no joy.

Then 

"It must be the weather...there's been some funny weather recently."

I forbore to point out that if it was either of the above there would be some sort of picture, however fuzzy and intermittent, not a blue screen with a "No signal" message moving around on it.

So when he'd got up I went and checked the ariel and its connections; all properly shoved in.

There is an on/off rocker power switch under the telly and a standby knob at the bottom of a row of little knobs on the side of the telly.

I turned it off and on again, pressed the standby knob and tried the one immediately above it.

A menu came up listing "Freeview, analogue" and other sources.

The tv had been turned to analogue, which was turned off years ago.

So I pressed the little knob until the tick was by Freeview and - surprise surprise - the telly is working perfectly.

He blames a cat.

I blame an impatient fat-fingered bastard hitting the wrong knob several times.

Ms Exlibris  So many things I want to say to this....

Bentonbag  I know.  Sometimes it's like being an old fashioned typewriter when you hit too many keys too quickly and they all jam up against each other.  I appreciate this simile will mean very little to anyone under the age of forty.
