Looking Out To Sea

We’re jumping feet first into the world of audio-visual entertainment. We looked at televisions on Sunday afternoon in John Lewis, and found a quite nice one. They didn’t have any in stock after we got home and checked reviews online.

Then today, one of my colleagues was selling a Humax PVR. His father had bought it before deciding he was too old for this new-fangled technology. (This was how my parents ended up with a microwave too, after my grandmother had been keen to get one.) It seems to be basically the same model as the one owned by Helen’s parents, with a few minor upgrades, so we should be quite familiar with it.

So at the end of Tuesday we have a DVD player (cost thirty quid about 4 years ago) and a PVR. But not television! Now they’re back in stock online but delivery takes at least a week. We’re going to pop in to the shop on Thursday evening and see if we can buy it there and then. We’ll just carry it home on the bus if necessary. We did it with a massive microwave so we can do it with a television. Twenty kilos is nothing.
