As we've been pretty busy for a few weeks we decided it was time for a lazy weekend at home, watching a few videos. So it was perfect timing that the DVD/HD recorder that was a package deal with the TV we bought finally turned up on Friday afternoon. Luckily Jo was home early and could come to my work and pick it up in the car (bit hard to carry it on the bike!)
Lots of wiring, searching through menus and getting everything configured, adjusting the picture quality, and finally we slotted in "Cars" and sat down for the movie. A great movie, even if watched repeatedly, I love all the little esoteric details. The only drawback was that this is a movie which really needs a good audio system, and the tinny little speakers in the TV just don't cut it like my old subwoofer used to. Uh-oh, you can see where this is leading...
On Saturday we finally bought the dining chairs we had planned to (from a Balinese/SE Asian furniture shop just around the corner from us), so of course that night we ate dinner on the couch as usual. We have used them though, promise! :D Then we sat down for "Memoirs of a Geisha", which Jo thinks was pretty good, certainly not as bad as some people had led us to believe. I haven't read the book but I realise it's pretty hard to compress a massive tome into 2 hours, still it's well produced and filmed. Tonight we've got "The World's Fastest Indian" to watch, whilst simultaneously recording some TV shows. Pretty handy.Today I found out that I might have an extended trip to Australia, work are considering sending me over the week before we have booked to come over anyway. Probably won't be around much though, the plan is to be up in Puckapunyal for a few days. We'll keep you posted on exactly when we'll be around and free.
Well, that's about us up to speed. Here's a picture of Jo's new style as promised, pretty cute isn't she?cheers all, please remember to drop us a line!
