Her indoors has read it!

It's been a couple of months but Barbara has finally had a look. I was slaving in the garden with a pressure washer at the time. She had been up to Church to clear out some more cupboards and was washing some teapots, or so I thought. I looked round and saw her on the computer and came up for a look. So far, nothing has been said.
Since my last post, we have been to PARKs for our babysitting duties. Rowan is on a mission to get me fit. I could lapse into laziness when I was working but this retirement and good weather means I am playing football as soon as he gets home from school. Kirsten is not quite 4 and so gets tired easier. Much better to look after! We went for a walk down by the canal and she wasn't bothered about coming out to meet Rowan from school.
The new arrangement seems to be working better. Rowan and Kirsten go to swimming lessons on Monday so we get to have a relaxed evening with them on Tuesday. Kirsten even went into the water, well I think she was taken in! We don't have the rush and can read and play with them if they'll allow us. I am definitely at the bottom of the pecking order when everyone is there and move down after someone new arrives. I know my place!
I ordered a Freeview PVR from Amazon on Monday. A Daewoo with 160Gb HD. I thought That if I chose the free delivery, the package wouldn't be sent until Wednesday/Thursday. Indeed, when the order was confirmed that was the despatch estimate. Amazon are just too good! They despatched Tuesday and delivered Wednesday. Harry next door took in the package. It's a good job we know them well as there was no note from the deliverers through the door. Harry brought the package round this morning. I resisted temptation as the gas man cometh this afternoon and we had some shopping to do. I connected it before lunch and it was up and working a few minutes later. Barbara couldn't believe I had stopped "playing" but I had checked everything! Recorded two programmes together and checked them both out so I am well chuffed. I was going to get rid of the video recorder but Barbara is concerned that someone may bring something to her fellowship on a tape so I have left it in place for the time being. What happens to all these old DVDs and videos as they are discarded?
The patio at the bottom of the garden as dried now and my labours with the washer are evident. It really shines. The "pressure" will be on to do the top one too. Must admit it does look nice with the clematis in full bloom above it.
