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.
