Addition to Day 2

After I sent the last, not very interesting, up-date report HM finally finished putting all her books and other crap back into the moved furniture. So check outside before you go to bed. There will surely be two moons in the sky.

NOW PREPARE YOURSELF FOR A SHOCK. I said she would not throw away one piece of paper. WRONG! WRONG! AND WRONG AGAIN! She actually had a total of three, allbeit, quite small bags to send to the re-cycling bin. However I had to take them very quickly because she said she might change her mind if I didn't hurry!!

Day 2

So now it is day two of this new venture for me. Not very exciting. The Sky guys came about 11.00am to install the aerial dish and the cable. They were only here about half an hour and they were followed about two hours later by another guy with the HD box. He did that installation and it worked fine.

However it didn't last long because HM decided to switch it all back to the original set up because of course she doesn't agree with having Sky. Now I don't know how to set it back to Sky. I have had a quick look at the instruction manual but nothing there. So I will phone the help line later and ask them how to do it. The broad band transfer will happen in a few days time. Not sure when.

Surprisingly there was not a bad reaction from HM when I told her the guys were coming. I suppose she thought what is done is done and there is nothing she can do now to stop it. She did get a bit shirty just now when she heard how much it costs per month but after the trial period I will cut back on some of the bits because we won't use them all.

Tried to send some photos for the blog but got stuck on the instructions. Will try again in a few minutes.

Not much more to report. Did a bit of shopping this afternoon. Missed going to the gym.

Playing golf at lunch time tomorrow so will send a few lines before I leave. Hopefully it will be an exciting night so I will have something to write about.

First blog entry

So this is my first attempt at reporting what has happened in my not very exciting life. I have been asked to start it from today but it is worth mentioning that yesterday was busy and interesting.

For some time now HM (that's the Darling Wife) has been talking about changing the furniture layout in our living area. Lala and BL were staying so it seemed a good idea to enlist their help. HM was working so there was no possibility of interference from that source. A good job was done by all but of course as expected when HM came home she had to change some things. Not too many surprisingly but we have ended up with a sofa table in a ridiculous position which she refuses to accept is ridiculous. It is very annoying to have a wife who thinks she is the only person that matters in the family and everyone else has to accept her sometimes stupid decisions.

Today started off rather slowly. Lala was here so I took care of feeding her listened to a few morning moans from HM. There were more but I didn't listen to those.

Dropped LaLa off at the station then set off for the gym and my Monday morning work-out. I had covered about five miles when I noticed something funny about my feet. I STILL HAD MY HOUSE SLIPPERS ON INSTEAD OF MY TRAINERS. So I had to turn round and go home to change my shoes. Very annoying.

After the gym went to my old company (I'm now retired). Spent over an hour there talking to J and N. Then to M who talked for ages and ages. Couldn't get away. He did tell me a funny story about T. It's a bit long so need to ask Lala if she wants the detail on a blog or whatever it's called.

Got home about 3.45 read a few emails and started this. Oh yes had a few phone calls from various people. So I suppose I have to ask Lala if she wants to know about those.

Going to do something about dinner now. HM says she wants an early dinner. I like to eat at 7ish but she prefers nearer to 6.

More tomorrow when I know I will be in trouble because the Sky guys are coming to do the installation. Watch out for the sparks!! ha!! ha!!
