Sunny.

A chilly but bright day today with much less wind than yesterday.We were listening to (last week's) Archer's omnibus when right in the middle of all the dramatic events our bedroom TV went blank and wouldn't respond to the controller. Fortunately that good old remedy of switching off and on or in this case pulling the plug out of the wall socket and then putting it back in worked. It's only a second hand TV we bought on eBay a few years ago but it would be a shame if it stopped working now.

In the morning we made a start on changing the sitting room lights. We did the 2 over the hearth as the lights are screwed directly into the wood. That did make things a bit easier but the cable coming out of the wall was heavy duty outdoors cable and it was difficult to bend the wires. We did the job between us with me doing the fiddly bits that Peter can't do with his poor fingers. We plan to do the rest and tidy up the wires in the conservatory next Saturday as Peter is going to buy a small work platform to make it easier to reach the lights on the walls.

The torchieres which we will be taking with us. The 2 we have already changed are a little bigger but almost identical to the ones on the walls. 

I missed out on a good drying day yesterday so got the washing out on the line today. While the sheets were flapping in the breeze I had a good tidy in the old wood shed, bagged up the rubbish from the floor and sorted out the rest of the stuff that needs to go to the dump. There's even some carpet that I don't recognise at all. I did spend a while sitting outside and reading too.
