New toy
My new radio is here, hurrah! It seems to work, and is better than the old one because:
- it is smaller and lighter, so easier to carry around the house (although it doesn't have a handle like the old one did)
- I didn't need to figure out how to tune it and set the presets, because it was so obvious (the old one took a good thirty seconds of contemplation)
- it uses standard rechargeable (or, indeed, disposable) AA batteries (the old one had a proprietary Stack Of Batteries Wrapped In Plastic affair)
- it tells me what the name of the programme is on the radio!
I dare say that I'll find various ways in which is less good as time goes on.
No single legged squats in Pilates today, phew. I won the 'my legs were so sore after last week that...' contest, on the grounds that the class had to stop and laugh when I told them I couldn't get off my horse.
Only four leylandii trunks left, although the last one is a good metre or more from the fence so it's going to be a bugger. We had a bonfire this morning before I went out, and it went up again when I put three more trees on it after lunch, but in a slightly half-hearted way that makes me doubt it'll manage to do anything with the bigger trunks. Still, the stableyard's clear of piles of tree for now.
