A yacht competing in the Sydney-Hobart race starting today has an all-female crew and is named Grace O’Malley in honour of the Elizabethan-era Irish “pirate queen” of the same name.
@matigo When she bought the old one it was sold to her as being a “digital TV” which was just coming into vogue at the time. The only digital aspect of it was related to its audio components.
So when analogue TV was discontinued a set-top box was needed to convert the signal to analogue. Three remotes were needed, one for satellite Pay TV, one for digital channels and one for the TV itself. Now down to two remotes, much better.
My mother’s elderly 27-inch widescreen CRT TV has been replaced by a 40-inch LCD unit, purchased by my brother & his wife. It’s support legs need a table-top extension so it can fit on the existing TV cabinet.
OK, for them as what celebrates it, a Merry Christmas to you. Last night I went along to one of the local Catholic Church’s three Xmas Eve services. A new organ was recently donated and I wanted to hear it. That plus the new choir made for a most joyful celebration.
Got distracted an hour or so back when preparing a cup of tea. Bad/painful hot metal burn to my left thumb. Straight away I stuck the affected area under cold running water for 10 minutes. Fixed up the tea brew then immersed the sore thumb in the top of a plastic bottle of water for 20 minutes.
Now only painful when bumped.
