was the mood in our house this afternoon-at least from the monster that is. For those not in the know Dave is a tv channel that seems to show car programmes like Top Gear and Fith Gear almost non-stop. From what I can see they intersperse them with intellectual quiz shows at the weekend. Regular readers will know that sam loves Top Gear so was over the moon today when after only two months I finally got around (not that i was procrastinating) to having an antena installed and we were finally able to get Dave. Matt is at work tonight so we had a Dave-fest complete with popcorn to make up for the fact that we didn't get to the movies this afternoon as planned due to the late arrival of the antena guy. Not having watched real tv over the past two years (programmes on BBCi player don't count) sam was unprepared for the amount of commercials-several times he asked why we couldn't just skip them and get back to the show! There is something to be said for watching programmes on line afterall!
Other than the excitement of getting the tv sorted out today and the dishwasher fixed tomorrow it has been pretty quiet since my last post. We have done a little bit of school type stuff everyday and on monday (a holiday here) sam and I gave the house a thorough clean while matt was at work. He was such a trooper and such a big help that not only did I let him choose the movie to watch (Revenge of the Sith again) but I also treated him to pizza. Just hope he doesn't expect the same treatment each time we do a deep clean!
I think the summer really is over-I looked out this morning and noticed that the leaves on our neighbor's tree are already starting to turn, not only that but the horse chestnuts are already starting to drop conkers. Not to complain or anything but we haven't really had summer so was hoping for a warm sept-guess that isn't going to happen so will have to start sorting out fall clothes. Just hope we have a mild winter without too much rain!!

Our summer never really got started. I'm desperate for sunshine, I've never seen so much greyness as the past two years. I might need a sunlamp this winter!
Why did you go back to TV? My two don't understand commercials either, even the BBC self-ads.
We went back to a tv because we got a wii and it was cheaper to get a tv than a large monitor. Since we had the tv and were paying the license fee it seemed silly not to get an antena too. Sam is very frustrated that even with all the freeview channels we have there is still nothing to watch-he is even tired of top gear!!
kwym about the summer-roll on summer 09!
