The Best Laid Plans...

We had decided to stop in today, with going out for the day yesterday. Vin was going to set up the new little Toshiba television in the middle bedroom, which he did. Got it on the shelf,got it plugged in, went to set up the menu and programmes with the remote control...Nada..Nothing!
Blooming remote control wouldn't work. he tried everything, new batteries, a bit of tinfoil on the contacts even..Nothing. So he rang the Toshiba shop where we bought it from in the Cheshire Oaks, and they suggested he try the remote against a digital camera ..still nothing.Obviously it wasn't working. he rang them again, and they said they woud send us another one by post. So we have a lovely little tele which can't work till that comes. Never mind. it's a bit frustrating though. You do expect that when yu open the box and get everything out that it works.
What surprised me yesterday was that Vin had looked back in his diary and it seems that it was last May when we last went to The Cheshire Oaks. i couldn't believe it. I thought it was around September or October. Certainly didn't think it was that long ago.Amazing, how time flies.
Otherwise quiet today.Bright sunny day though, even though it was quite cool last night.
Tonight we are having:
Cheesey kievs
Mixed vegetables in a white saucewith some baby potatoes.
