What I did at the weekend

[lnr]

Friday night: pizza/vids

Saturday: sleep, B5 (3 good and interesting episodes) and then a BBQ at Vicky's, which was nice.

Sunday so far: sleep, geek, mow lawn, read, geek, cook chilli.

Later we will eat chilli and probably watch on the the mediocre looking films on telly tonight. Cate Blanchett in The Gift on 4 or Bruce Willis in Striking Distance on 5. In fact we'll probably watch the latter and tape the former. The reception on channel 5 is poor enough that with the video on another channel it just plain won't display, which is weird. Have decided to try and make sure I notice a) nice things happening around me and b) me doing anything that could count as useful or productive. If I concentrate on them maybe it will encourage me to keep doing them.

Good things: glorious weather, nice friends, nice food, nice films, books etc.
Me not being useless: the lawn, cooking, and washing up.

C5 reception is bloody awful anyway, and sometime cuts out anyway. I always figured it was just a side effect of the aerial going via the VCR and that with the VCR on that leading to interference or something. I might have a look and see if your idea helps. Wondering about a better aerial or going cable anyway.

Our C5 reception at Impropriety became fine after I fiddled with the tuning control on the back of the video so it didn't clash.

If you go for cable you'll be able to watch bid-up.tv
Or Cbeebies, if you prefer!
