I set myself a tough assignment today. I have been thinking for a while of replacing my ancient TV (a giant metal sarcophagus for a cathode ray tube) with something that weighs less than a Honda Civic. So I decided that today was the day.
This was in itself a step forward. Proactive planning is not something I have been good at lately and following through on a plan is something I have been even worse at. I was therefore pleasantly surprised to find myself in Currys looking at TVs.
Unfortunately I had failed to take into account just how noisy the place was and how much visual disturbance thirty or forty TV screens can create. So although I managed to locate the set I was looking for I had to leave the store before I could seal the deal.
Went home, had a coffee, calmed down, came back. Eventually found an assistant to talk to. It turned out I couldn't get the set I wanted and none of the others was quite suitable for one reason or another. So still no TV. Still felt like an achievement though. Will try again tomorrow maybe.
On failing to manage to post a comment on this blog!
ReplyDeleteI tried as you know to comment on this using my iphone but it just wouldn't let me! I felt frustrated and cross and wanted to say that your Smart TV buying episode would be enough to trigger all kinds of emotions in anyone....
Unfortunately the app (or me) wasn't smart enough to achieve this before but hopefully on my Mum's old PC it may work now.
Sometimes older things just are the smartest option still!x
