Monday 11th May - Woof, woof, woofer

Hurrah! We’ve put our last room back together! The last of the “what the hell shall we do with these” packages are in the garage, and we’re down to a few small piles of things to sort out – mostly cables, which is Stephen’s domain. I made him put all the 4-way surge protectors in a box in one place (rather than scattered about all the rooms) and found we could stock Homebase – yet we bought 2 more a couple of weeks ago. Now he needs to make sense of the thousands of other computer and camera cables that we have knocking about...


He’s currently calibrating the surround sound system. He started with the subwoofer and I was struggling not to giggle…first he had to wedge himself down the back of the TV so all I could see was his butt waving in the air, then he set the calibration running and the great rumbling began. No, thankfully no immediate evacuation of the room was required; this was the subwoofer doing its thing. And my god what a thing it did! It began with a super low rumbling that vibrated through the room and the chair I was sitting in (“again, again!”) and moved up through the frequencies like a Barry White hearing test. He’s now doing the rest of the speakers which sounds like someone playing space invaders.
