Cheerier

Glad I went out, even though I wasn't feeling much like it. Talked mostly to Simon and to Mike, but with various chats to other people too which was nice. Played lots on the quiz machine but didn't win anything (at least not while I was watching, apparently they won a pound while I was buying a round and talking to Tony). Managed to stick to only one drink - a single of Balvenie 12 year old at last orders. So smooth it's barely there, lovely. Shared with various other people too so less than a unit. Seem to have made lots of social plans, of varying vagueness.

  • Pizza/vids tomorrow evening
  • Date with Simon Saturday afternoon for haircut, in lieu of B5

Not too bothered about extra channels, mostly want to reliably get C5, which we're not on analogue terrestrial. Not sure about fitting aerials either.

Well I'd definitely go freeview if that's the case as both sky and ntl are going to cost you an arm and a leg. C5 reception is spot on + BBC3 and BBC4 + News 24 - that's all I tend to watch.

Aerial fitting involved:

1 open loft hatch
2 stand on chair in bedroom holding aerial through loft hatch
3 point in the same direction as the rest of the aerials in the street
4 confirm that the freeview box works
5 lay the aerial on the joists in the loft - i.e. not screwed to anything
6 shut the loft hatch over the aerial coaxial cable
7 shove the cable behind the wardrobe

er... that's it. Even if you paid for someone to install the aerial, it'll be cheaper than a few months' rental of sky/ntl
