Afternoon all! (just!)
Well, I've been out to Murton to deliver a baby jacket and 4 sheep (all knitted). Then I came back via town, posted a card to France (I fear I've missed the last date, but we can hope), paid in the cheque for the knitting, picked up a couple of odds and ends I needed, and some lunch stuff, and I've just written the 7 cards I need to send inland, and eaten my Chonion (cheese and onion pasty), and then I'll make a fresh cuppa and start on the cream doughnut.
This afternoon, I have to wrap presents, and make cards for family. Or I might make the cards tomorrow.
As long as I don't end up trying to do it on the train home....

Got fed up of being stuck indoors so wrapped up warm and walked into the village to the Post Office to reclaim my £30 from nPower. My parents had obviously been telling the village postmistress about my trip as she knew all about it. The roads look pretty icy still so I don't know when I'll be able to get the bike out

Just having a warming cup of co**ee and slice of cake.

It's pretty much clear round here - just some patches of ice to look out for. I went out to Murton on the main road, but came back on the back road, much nicer with little traffic. I'm fairly out of condition though, after a month of not riding much - I've been walking my short commute.
Mmmm, that doughnut was good... I'm a bit sticky now.

Nice snowy day here this morning, 2-3" I'd say. Only lasted an hour or so but has made it's mark.
Just heard there's a shopping centre down South that's been shut 'cause of the snow, bet they are livid, last weekend before Xmas
Must start my shopping soon, where's that Argos catalogue got to?

On page 92, I think there is a Panasonic DVD recorder with Hard Drive, and a slot for video cassette tapes, and another slot for Dvd, so I can transfer my videos to DVd, and record the entire Tour de France. Can I have one of those please?

I got 6" of snow here last night and in Stockport, where I am heading now, there is only a light dusting.
What a difference over only a few miles.

Hmm batteries, are they rechargeable ones?
Your dvd recorder thingy. Just say I was watching the Tour de France and want to record the mountain stage bits. Ie not the two hours of flat cycling before the Peleton reach the lower slopes of the mountain, but the more interesting climbing. Can I put a dvd in the machine, and tell the machine to record onto that dvd, easily and without umpty-two instructions to the machine. I suspect if I ask it to record to the hard disk, it might put the various segments all over the disk as opposed to having it in one place.
Can you view your photos on your tv, via the dvd thingy and a usb port wotsit? Or from .. er what are those thingies called... um a memory stick?
No rush for the explication, I will be waiting to see if the local Panasonic shop has some pounds off their items in January.

On my Philips DVD recorder I can set it to record whole programmes or fixed time slots straight onto a DVD disc. It will also copy my old video to DVD too.
It also does one touch record so it can start recording whatever I have on the tv screen if I catch something interesting.
I used to use it for recording everything oW disc so that I can watch and record over but the snag was that when the disc was warn out it would still record but not play back meaning I would lose stuff. It always coincided with stuff I wanted to keep.
I now have a freeview hard drive recorder instead but need to work out how to remove stuff from it to external storage via the USB.

I always record to the hard drive then you can edit/delete as much of it as you want to, cut adverts out etc. Once finished you can then transfer it onto DVD.
It has a slot for an SD card and I have used it to view pictures on the TV.
I put off getting one for ages but am so glad I got it now, really easy to use and so much beter than a video recorder.
Only down side is it can only do one thing at a time, ie- when recording one channel you can't watch another one, but you can watch a dvd or anything on the hard drive.
Bought my mum a Freeview recorder type thingy for her birthday back in Feb, multiple goes at getting her used to it, with no avail, eventually she now uses it and loves it, and that can do two channels at a time. No DVD though.
