We had an interesting day. The man from Sky was coming.

Soon after 9:30 the chap from Sky arrived. The plan was to upgrade our existing Sky system to the new Sky-Q. This should give us more flexibility and the ability to record up to 6 channels in parallel (not that we are very likely to need that often). It also came with a separate mini-box to allow the system to be used in a separate room. It took him a couple of hours to get everything set up and working properly but it all looks very good and the picture and sound both seem much crisper (though that could be imagined). The only the only problem is that we have lost the old recordings from the old box and need load up the planned recording schedule again.

Today was Amber's 18th birthday... as her step-grandparents we were invited to join them all for a meal, late afternoon. We drove in too Chichester and did a little shopping before heading down to a restaurant called Smith & Wesson. This is an American-style diner with burgers, bbq, steaks,  tex-mex dishes and so forth. As it was very early, the place was almost empty. The background music was Country & Western and obviously tickled Ellie as she sat and bopped and rocked away as we awaited our meals. The food was plentiful and we had a nice couple of hours.
