I mentioned in work that I was thinking of getting Netflix but that I didn't think I would be able to get a second HDMI cable up the back of my TV.
It was a tough job to get the original cable in for my TV service box - I had to use a mirror to help guide the cable in to the slot.
A colleague suggested that all I needed to do was take the HDMI cable out of the TV box and not the TV when I wanted to hook up my laptop to the TV. So simple!!
Today I did exactly that and watched The Great Gatsby on DVD through my laptop. HDMI is brilliant!!
I really enjoyed The Great Gatsby. The book is one of my all time favourites and one can only say that Baz Luhrman has made a spectacular spectacle which captures the gloriously decadence of the roaring twenties and the jazz age. Just splendid!
We had a great Friday evening with an early bird dinner in The Table in Portobello. It was our second time here and although I loved the ambiance and setting I think we didn't order well for our mains. However, the bottle of malbec I ordered helped it all go down!
I'm currently in state of what I call "super woman" where I feel that I can do anything. Common sense prevailed however and I came to the realization that I possibly was over stretching myself and over estimating my capabilities.
Along with making arrangements to start a Diploma in Digital Marketing in the next few weeks, I had also signed on to train as a volunteer counsellor with a rape helpline. I decided however that the time wasn't right for me to make this commitment so I pulled out of the training course for it. I will revisit this volunteering opportunity in maybe a year or so as I have to make work my priority at this time. I am currently assigned to working in a new branch that is opening at the end of the month so I am massively busy. Along with my work commitments I am also having a small procedure carried out in hospital on Wednesday but hopefully I won't need any time off work after this. All in all, I have a lot going on so I need to be careful not to over extend myself.
I liked The Great Gatsby too!
ReplyDeleteTwo bottles of malbec!!!!!!!!!!!! You dirty little so and so!
ReplyDeleteYeah I think you made the right call. You can always revisit the volunteering again in the future. It's important to challenge yourself but not over extend.
Oh dear, read it too fast - "second time" being there, plus mention of malbec made me thing you got too bottles
DeleteIsn't HDMI amazing? :) I loved the book the Great Gatsby, but haven't yet watched the movie.
