wahey and uh-oh

Saturday 20th December 2008

December 20th? I demand a recount!

On the wahey front; Das Übertelly arrived this morning, in a box the size of an upright piano which scared the hell out of Clara. It's only a 37 incher (madam) but 'cos it has really good speakers it's almost as wide as a 40". TV programmes look good (once we figured out how to connect the HDMI cable) and DVDs look fantastic (I set out for my gig this evening leaving Clara and Greta staring in rapture at Finding Nemo).  I feel a Lord Of The Ringsathon coming on.   It only remains to affix Das Übertelly to the wall bracket we bought separately (what could possibly go wrong?).

On the uh-oh side of things, Christmas has completely caught us on the hop this year, even by our own standards of vagueness and disorganisation.   We managed to squeeze in about three hours of Crimbo shopping this (yesterday) afternoon - the first we'd done at all - between waiting for the courier guy to turn up with Das Übertelly and me buggering off to Coventry; It's now 3am and I'm busy ordering stuff on Amazon, realising I've just ordered the wrong thing on Amazon, trying to cancel the thing I've just ordered from Amazon and being told it's too late despite Amazon's own estimate that it won't actually be shipped out until Monday...  Bah.  But not humbug.
