Tuesday 20th November - 150th Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address

I've been running round town today doing my errands, took the flowers to the hospital chapel.   Called at the Cable Company to pay my monthly bill.   Our televisions are being upgraded to HD, and from the New Year we will also have more channels.   More channels - I think I've got about a hundred already, and I was quite happy when I only had 4, I wasn't so confused wondering what to watch.  Anyway, I was handed two digital boxes for my two televisions.  Laughed nervously and asked if I had to connect them myself, but was told someone will come and do them if I can't.  Too right I can't.

I was thinking today that it is sometimes hard to tell that it is winter here, unless I am scraping ice off my car early in the morning, but then it warms up to the 60s and 70s and I forget.   So it hits me when I am suddenly confronted by my frost damaged calla lilies.   That is such a sad sight.

or notice that the leaves have all fallen off the tree.   (don't know why I was suddenly able to enlarge this picture, I haven't been able to for a while, and I can't do the other)


Remember Martin Bashir?  He famously interviewed Princess Diana when she decided she wanted to wash her dirty linen in public.   He is over here now, working for one of the cable networks, and there is a major row going on because he insulted Sarah Palin.   Like she's not used to being insulted???  Of course she is acting all outraged, milking the situation for all it's worth, hoping he will be sacked.
