The gadget duly arrived, as did another hole in the wall.
The Sky+ box has two satellite decoders so that you can watch one channel whilst recording another. What I didn’t realise is that to achieve this they simply run two cables from the satellite dish to your living room. Hence another hole in the wall to pass the cable through. This is unremarkable, until I mention that the drill bit the engineer used to create this whole was about a metre and a half long (well over four foot to you imperialists). Blimey, what a large one.
After a day on the sofa the wife thought it would be a good idea to get out and about. So yesterday we went into town, had a lovely lunch and then went for a stroll around the Natural History Museum. Very nice, its been quite a few years since I last visited and I feel suitably culturally enriched. If you go check out the new Darwin Centre where they are gradually opening up the museum’s collection of specimens to public display, oh and where they do quite groovy lectures twice a day as well.
