[GM]

I'm guessing that the home brew hasn't fermented.

A nice bright day here in Poshshire. Mrs D has a teacher training day (translation : all the teaching staff will be up the pub guzzling G&T) so I've the delight of being on my own all day with Mini D. Rather looking forward to it.

Good morning from a bright and sunny Coventry.

 

[Drago]

Have you calmed down yet?

Aye laddie, chilled and relaxed.

 

[welsh dragon]

Have you calmed down yet?

In other words. Spill the beans Drago.

 

[Drago]

Its all sorted, with the assistance of two very nice and reasonable people, to whom I am indebted. Peace and tranquility is restored, and it would be undignified to say more than that now.

Morning all, a nice bright morning in Barnet. Cooking some smoked bacon to go with a bagel and garlic and herb cream cheese, along with my third cup of tea. Then it will be out with the dog for a couple of hours across the fields. May be a pint or two at lunchtime.

I bought a sound bar on Saturday and have spent the last 90 minutes connecting and playing with it.

Like most things I don’t fully understand I researched the subject for a month. The general opinion for my needs seemed to be don’t go cheap but also don’t break the bank. A budget of £150 seemed reasonable. After reading many reviews I plumped for Samsung HW K450 at £199 plus high end optical cable totalled £230.

While there is an improvement I expected significantly more for my money. Off to PC World for a refund. I may get the £79 Toshiba which in store sounded very good.

Knocked another 20 seconds off of my 1k swim time this morning, now down to 18m 30s followed by another 1k split into intervals I will get into the 17's this year. Brilliant blue sky out there and a bike ride is a definate.

The shorts I tried on that I want to wear in 8 weeks time have shrunk during the winter, drastic action is called for and it does not include buying a new pair.
