Great excitement here this morning when the box of TV spare parts was delivered first thing!
Soon to be replaced by even greater disappointment when it turned out to be just a box of pet stuff, clearly ordered by my niece. She is sleeping after her night shift so we could not ask her what it was.
But then my sister noticed that the parcel was addressed to her NOT her daughter...
Great excitement again! She opened the parcel and it contained... TV spares!
Just waiting for my nephew to get back from a dog walk. I don't need his help but he helped me take the TV to bits so he would probably like to be part of the repair team. If the TV ends up working it is going to be for my niece to take to her new home.

Hmm... Not looking good so far!
It briefly flashed up a different error message ('Waiting to reconnect') instead of the old message ('No signal')...
It is beginning to sound like a job for Pro TV Repair
Maybe flog on ebay for spares to try and recoup the £45...

Just checked the Met Office - strange because I normally check when I get up - but it says this
Huh - greater than or equal to 95% chance of rain
I normally reckon anything over 10% means I'll probably get wet

Just back from Wimborne, we popped in to the Café that's attached to Wimborne Museum and had Quiche and a cup of coffee. Bought a couple of slices of carrot cake and a few other bits in " Spill the Beans ", I noticed that they sold unsulphured dried apricots so bought 250g, absolutely amazing flavour, so sweet and succulent, night and day compared to the usual packs that you buy in the supermarket. The ones with sulphur dioxide as a preservative give me terrible heartburn so it's great when I find the unsulphured ones 😎

I've changed the bedding, got two washes done and wrestled the stretch cover that I washed and dried yesterday back on the small settee, I also got in the car and nipped up to Astly's Book farm for a bacon sandwich and a coffee, currently watching the weather, if it keeps raining our evening down the club won't go ahead.

It's rained 🌧 all day. Housework done and the place is now spotless mucky than it was. Beds changed, white and coloured washes done, washed chair stretch cover (so as not to be outdone! ) as a friend spilt red wine on it last night..........did I mention one of our chair covers is creamy white 
Mrs P has been out all day. It's her turn to cook but I'm thinking for at the least quadruple points I could............or make a brew and play online Scrabble. 🤔

Just thinking as one does. I've done four loads today and tumble dried them. Tomorrow is forecast as a great drying day. How on earth though do I childmind and wash that lot? I used to be able to do it.
