Admired HN’s new 30” wide screen PC monitor, Irish Lass’s new Mulberry handbag (so prized that it lives in it’s own cotton sack when not in use).and commiserated with them on the sad demise of “Quennie”.
“Quennie” was their 20 year old BMW 7 series car that they have owned for 14 years and which had taken them safely all around the UK and Ireland. It was diagnosed dead a couple of weeks ago and their attempts to replace it have been frustrated twice so far, which explains how I ended up touring the streets of Cheddar in what can only be described as a “Columbian drug baron’s” style of vehicle.
I am not going to jinx it for them by describing it in any more detail, but if they do get it then there will be photos. All in all a grand visit and a good time had by all, yes there was loud music but fortunately no mad dancing around the living room at 02:00. Even managed to get up before they left for work this morning - thanks to nor resetting my mobile to GMT on Sunday morning.
HN and OEN both blamed my own humble hi-fi system for persuading them to invest tens of thousands of pounds on their respective systems - me I blame the IT business for giving them too much disposable income.
So here a couple of photos:
Yes that is a drop down screen at the back and the projector for it in the foreground, a surround sound system plus the racks of power amps below the screen. The system drives a pair of fine speakers which deliver clear sound with a very healthy bass - oh and their 300 year old house comes with walls that are 2 feet thick so do not worry about the neighbours.
