Whinge, Moan, Complain

The TV card arrived on Thursday. It works! I can only get the basic channels, but the picture is big and in colour. I can also put it in the corner on the Monitor while I'm on line (see pic below). It also has a remote. It would be even better if I could get digital Freeview, maybe the next place I live will have that.

I always seem to feel really tired by the end of Monday and it's only the beginning of the week! I'm about to leave the office and go off to do my exciting weekly shopping. Then my landlady told me last night she's cooking for me tonight - nice to get a free meal, but she only does it so I will stay and talk to her, and watch soaps with her. I think I will just eat and go tonight I'm not in the mood for EastEnders etc, real life is depressing enough as it is.

I've just bought a TV card from e-bay for my computer. I've been trying to some how get a small, cheap TV that will work in my room. First I got a USB digital DVB-TV, which refused to work. I don't seem to be able to get a digital signal. Then I got this stupid £8 black and white 6" TV. It works but you get what you pay for and it's crap quality. So I'll see if I can get terrestrial TV on my PC. This would be great as it will not use up any extra space. I'll let you know what happen.

The car is fixed, now I have to work out how to get to the garage to pick it up. I ended up walking most of the way to work, I quite enjoyed it, but now I feel tired. It's a bit windy out there today.

Has anyone read 'Notes on a scandal' by Zoe Heller. I think that was the quickest I've taken to read a book. It's all about sexuality, relationships and lonely people. I think the film is now out or coming out, I think it will be interesting to see.

I just don't seem to be able to blog as often as I did when I started. But I'm amazed to see people still look at my blog! Thank you.

Well today I'm really peed off, as my clutch gave up this morning, got totally stuck in reverse and I had to be towed to the nearest garage, NOT a garage of my choice, that was too far. Anyway they will be able to fix it tomorrow, which will be good, not too much waiting, but it will cost too much!!! The most expensive repair I've ever had! But I need my car so, no choice but to pay.

Christmas is over for another year. It was a strange Christmas without my Dad, but most of the time we acted like nothing had happened and no one showed they where feeling upset, even if they were. My family is so small, when my Mum and her sister have died there will only be four of us left. It feels like we are gradually disappearing. Is some of the reason my fault for not wanting kids? I sometimes feel bad, my Mum would love grandchildren, though she never complains about not having any. Somtimes life is so unfair, my brother and sister would love kids but for whatever reason don't have them and I don't want them. I think I'm getting a bit old anyway.
