Screen time

I was up at 6:30, ready for Ellie to be dropped off. She had woken early and was already washed, dressed and ready for school when she burst through the door. After a brief chat, she went up to see Nana. The early morning routine followed its natural course, and we walked Ellie to school at the appropriate time. Diane then headed home to get ready for Pilates, and I set off for my walk. Today saw the start of a new audiobook. This is book 5 in the Millennium Series featuring Lisbet Salander (the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo). I'm only an hour into the story, but it already has its hooks in me.

Di was just leaving for Angmering as I arrived home. Within a few minutes, the heavens opened and heavy rain set in for a few hours. I settled down to a bit of domestic admin, and when that was finished, I returned to my program for extracting data from the Skoda. Now that the basic function was working, I wanted to add a few bells and whistles. It only took an hour, but I'm pleased with the results. Some of the other data isn't available at the moment, and the interface doesn't return the charging history.

The new TV was scheduled to be delivered during the afternoon, so I finished clearing the area where it would be installed, and I pulled all the cables through to make it easy to connect it up when the time came. We then grabbed a bite to eat and settled into the lounge for an hour or so.

The delivery men arrived and did an excellent job of installing the. TV. Everything was carefully measured, holes were drilled (with a vacuum cleaner on hand to catch the dust), and the bracket was mounted on the wall. The TV was wired up and switched on, then the basic functions were demonstrated. Everything was cleared away, I signed off on the delivery, and they were gone. I will have to tidy up all of the connections over the next few days, then put the family room back together.
