Popular Post chrisp65 Posted December 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 24, 2020 The first properly cold day of the winter and it came in with sunshine. Possibly my fave combo. Double bonus, the island was absolutely rammed with tourists and dog walkers, a mile further along and we were as good as on out own. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A'Villan Posted December 24, 2020 Share Posted December 24, 2020 Learning. Todays lesson: Forget the perpetual poverty of mind belief that I need to become somebody. I am somebody. Discovering this to the point of realisation, takes work, and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2020 Went to put a plate in the dishwasher and it turns out I actually managed to operate it last night and everything is clean (apart from that plate).

Rds1983 Posted December 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 25, 2020 That whilst we unfortunately can't see any family today as they're all to far away, we've been able to video call them all and everyone seems to be having a good day and people have seen the little one open their gifts. Modern technology is a lifesaver, can't imagine what this year and Christmas would have been like 10 or 20 years ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rds1983 Posted December 26, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted December 26, 2020 I've won the day for the first ever time! Now just need to decide if doing it on Christmas Day is an added bonus or a tad sad as it suggests I was on here a bit more than I should have been. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Nothing like a day of clearing out junk to make you question your sanity. I've got rid of about 4 bin bags of shit so far. "Better keep 2 drawers full of VGA, printer, and other assorted usb cables, never know when you might need them". Never, is the answer. If I ever do decide to rewatch a bunch of old films and sitcoms, I'll probably stream them instead of watching these ancient DVDs in standard definition, too. This afternoon's activity is trying to identify these 7 individual, unlabelled keys of unknown origin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I did something similar yesterday. Cleared out two massive bags of DVDs and about 40 books. Like you say the films will all be online and I rarely read a book twice. Feels great to get rid of clutter, just a shame the space will be full of new clutter this time next year! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Films all online? If only. My DVD collection is staying right where it is - lots of old westerns, film noir and European arthouse stuff, almost none of which are available on streaming services. Some books I do read twice. And others have sufficient sentimental value that I like just to see them on the shelf. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with that is you might not be able to watch the original versions anymore as they may have to be cut due to 'problematic' language/attitudes of that era We've already seen Peep Show and other comedy shows cut. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't even get all the Fred Quimby Tom and Jerry films, because of the stereotypical black housemaid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
