Another step into the 21 Century.

This week we have made one more step forwards into the 21-century by buying a LCD TV.
This might come as big surprise to many but we had been discussing the idea for quiet some time and on Monday we went out and bought one, (that’s how we function).
We bought a 37-inch Samsung with a built in digital receiver model LE 37 B 679 it was delivered on Wednesday morning. Our next big step forwards will be a DVD recorder but that will have to wait for a while, maybe our Christmas present!
Naturally we had to do some alterations before we got the TV. I had to dismantle half of the living-room cabinet to get at the wall sockets, cable had to be newly laid (don’t like having cables all over the place) A picture had to be moved to a new position and have again decided to move it even yet a little lower, that I will do tomorrow because today is a holiday in most parts of Germany (the holiday being a Roman Catholic church one called Fronleichnam).
Last Monday I had an appointment with my eye doctor, I have been putting drops in my eyes now for four weeks and she wanted to see if the pressure had been reduced. Glad to say that the drops have been more than successful; on my right eye I had a pressure of 26 and on my left 22 now I have on both eyes 14, which is very good.
On Friday afternoon I donated blood for the 129th time, at the moment I can donate till I am 68 years old that means next year in July will be the last time for me but you never know they may update that and I may be able to donate till I’m 90 (laugh)
My wife is still having problems with her right knee (still swollen) the doctor told her if the swelling doesn’t go down then she will have to go into hospital for a operation and the idea of that she doesn’t like at all.
We are having a bad spell of weather, it’s cold and with it lot’s of rain, nothing like the month of June at all. The forecast say it will pick up at the end of the week, we hope so because we plan to do a BQ on Saturday evening to celebrate our 45-wedding anniversary.
On a sad note I am sorry to hear about the problems my brother no1 broadstreet is having with his oldest son and on a good note glad to see that the blotter is settling down in his new flat.

Take care out there were ever you are. Tshüss
