It's looped into the RF output of the VM box so it shows those channels but it's nice to be able to have separate programs on the two+ tvs. No sweat, all channels at 70 to 80% signal. Looks like those arround me whove sported out on fancy shiny antenna's have wasted their money.

Looks like you've got a nice bit of weather for it as well.

I came back last week from a fortnight in west Cornwall and it was freezing.https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/...2012/05/10.gif

The bus journey itself is quite enjoyable as it passes through several villages on the way. It was a glorious day but by the time we reached Newquay there was a sea haar blowing in so we had to go into Wetherspoons to get out of the cold, well that's our excuse anyway.:D I drifted in and out of the shops afterwards.
Yes Den you have to watch where you are walking in Truro some of the walkways can be quite trecherous. But Truro Cathedral is quite impressive especially since the recent clean of the outside. Hope you are enjoying your stay, you've certainly got the weather. :):):)

You'll have gone through Sennen on the way to Land's End. That's where my mother lives, only about 100yds from the First and Last Inn.

My happy thought for today is that I've just done a shop a Lidl's and they've got some Saké in. Not my favourite brand (Hakutsuru) but nice to find.

My happy thought is that a freedom of information request I made has arrived finally, the job it was for has long gone but tbh so had my enthusiasm for taking the position, still at least it won't be an issue next time.

Don't think so Den what are they? The one I had was brown/wholemeal bloomer cheese slices and salad, now I come to think about it it probably was a bit naff!



Yes Dilli a good time was had by both, and hopefully we will be able to share many more of such days together. :)



Yes, no flying Daddy, but glad to say flying doesn't hold so many horrors as the many years I spent thinking it did, I have somehow learned to cope. Someone once said to me 'there's nothing to fear but fear itself' how true that is. Being able to fly to any destination has literally opened up a whole new world for us. As I speak I am already planning a (foreign) holiday for February 2013 back to our favourite Tenerife (4hour flight).

BTW Daddy the job wasn't for you, what's for you won't go past you.

Reminds me of the time I used to work for others. I was fedup with people using my PC so I installed a weird Celtic font on startup (Back in the DOS days you could customise the normal screen text) that was the only one available to the user as I'd locked it and you couldn't get back to the standard one. Took me a bit of time to get used to it but no-one used my machine after that.

Me - I had a good time at the church fete, including a ride on a traction engine. But felt ever so slightly disappointed that I didn't bring a teddy bear so I could parachute him from the church tower :)

Finished the body yesterday, now the wings: loads of fiddly little "feathers" then it's onto the transfers/decals and the final paint detailing using the special marker pens. :)

Should eventually look something like this:
