What else do we realy need….

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

One day last week Lesa went shopping (no surprises there) and when I got home she wanted to show me her latest time saving gadget that everyone should have which we have so how or other not already got. She started to tell me about, like this…..

“I know I don’t wear tights but I thought it would be really useful….”

and the proceeded to produce a from a shopping bag a Tight Ladderer Repairer.

I which to point out that in the last 6 days it not been used.

For those people who don’t have a tight ladderer repairer other methods of repairing tights involve:-

  1. Buy some new ones!
  2. Nail varnish I am told stops ladders growing
  3. Permanent marker pen that matches the colour of your tights could also be used to colour in where the ladders are so its not noticeable.

Radio

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

I am a big fan of BBC Radio 4 and I enjoy listing to several programs on it and my car radio stays tuned to BBC Radio 4. However do to one reason and another I miss programs I enjoy. I always intend to investigate the BBC Podcast service and embrace this new technology that has passed me by over the last few years. So that when I am out and about I can listen to my favorite programs in the car at a time that suits me

As for the last few years I have carried around a device that will also function as a MP3 player, I’ve yet to use it as one! I know everyone always think’s I am realy good with these devices but I am realy not.

With some help (or not as the case might be) from George and Charlie I have downloaded this weeks Friday night Comedy as an MP3’s from the BBC Radio 4 podcast site and now the next step is to put them onto my phone and then with a bit of wiring (the bit I am good at) I should be able to listen to them in the car.

I’m also sure that I can download them automatically so I don’t miss one! That’s my next challenge but I think its best if I do that on my laptop!

Watch this space for a progress (or lack of) report…….
