Where did the weekend go?

Did some hoovering (or should that be Dysoning), and tried and failed to fit the mudguards to my bike on Saturday. No instructions came with them, and only some of the screws made sense. What flummoxed me was/is how to secure the rear mudguard to the rear triangle. The little bag of screws included these rubber blocks, which look like they should be used back there to absorb some of the road shock, but nothing came with which to attach them. This is a bit worrying, as I had to thus attach the guard direct to the frame. Hopefully it won't break to bits before I can take it to my bike shop.

That happened on Sunday evening. Sun-day was spent largely sleeping, after getting up early to accompany Russ and his twin brother to Gatwick. Saturday night was Eurovision. Well done Finland, although I quite liked the German entry this year.

Enough boringness though. Film Four is coming to Freeview in July! Yay! No more DVD rentals needed. This isn't news, of course, but the first stage has started today. More 4+1 (a filler channel if there ever was one) is now off the air. Apparently a Big Brother Channel is going to take it's place in the meantime. Speaking of Digital TV, I was in Comet today. I am amazed, there are hardly any CRT TVs left. It was row after row of LCDs and Plasma displays. At the front was something that I guess was a HD demo. It didn't blow me away. Maybe it wasn't really HD. Also noticed the new Miele washing machines. Hmm, plastic doors, well it looks sleeker, but I'm not sure.
