the corner office

The unpacking continues... in retrospect we should've flogged them too, but we brought our TVs over, so as soon as our goods arrived we returned our loaner to my sis. Now we have our nice big LG telly from home, but it has no SCART port, so we'll have to run Freeview through normal TV aerial cables. It also looks like we'll have to manually tune all the channels, and since the TV manual is still in a box somewhere, the TV has stayed off (apart from an episode or two of Twin Peaks, which Ronwen is introducing me to - I dunno where I was when it first came out, but I completely missed the original Twin Peaks craze).

I haven't missed the TV much. OK, I miss Dog Borstal, but that's about it. The weather's tamely shifting to spring and more snow seems unlikely (dammit) so who cares? Watching the news and especially the vapid news presenters just gets me worked up, the throwaway shows are exactly that, and in this day and age you can afford to wait for everyone to blog or talk about the really cool TV series, and then rent or buy them soon after they've run.

So really, I'm in no rush to get the TV set up. I don't think my dearest agrees, though.
