Yesterday evening I did another lino cut, makes quite a mess so have cleared everything away for a while now. I had a couple of people interested in some notelets, Tina had same better paper so have printed some off today. Also of the latest one, a butterfly.
I am fairly pleased with this one, I am still learning how deep the cuts need to be to get the right effect. While I was pottering yesterday evening I was playing music and the dvd part of the tv went on the blink! Darren and Tina had swapped tvs with me when I came here as my previous one didn't have the dvd facility. Anyway, they said they would replace it for me today. Darren and I went out to Curry's first then to Sainsbury's where we got a Blaupunkt 24 inch. May sound small but it is actually the biggest tv I have owned! Last week I got a Now tv box in the sales and this afternoon I have watched War and Peace on the tv (I watched Endeavour last night). The picture is really good.

I am listening to an audio cd on it at the moment and the sound quality is pretty good too. Big thanks to Darren and Tina.

  1. The notelets will be great. Shame I don't do a great deal of writing, or I'd order as set with the castle on :-)
    Admit it, you've been watching so much tv you've worn the old one out! It was really nice of them to get you a new one though.

  3. You have great kids, great they got you sorted quickly. Strange our T.V. Recorder/ D.V.D. Player is playing up. Really I think it's me. Got it stuck on HDD and can't work out how to change it. The book is not for ageing people. Might look at the t,v. Box. As I know there not too expensive. Your photos look good.
