Living without a TV

We are thinking about stopping having a TV in our house. Well it’s actually been decided we are going to get rid of the TV, playstation, xbox, video and portable TV. Why? Basically, the time sucked up by watching TV we want back. The game machines aren’t a sucker up so much reason to get rid of though. With those I rarely play them as the games I play are on the mac, since working in the gaming industry it’s just not been the same for me with games – sad but true. I do like a good rpg romp though or puzzle so the mac games suit me for that. Simon wants to get rid of them as he’s also moving over to non-console games. In short we just don’t use them enough to justify the space and when we do it’s wasting hours we could be doing more things.

Summer nights end

Good company and acoustic music signals the end of the summer for me. Sat outside at a gathering today the chill of autumn came too quickly over the group under the full moon. I sit here on my bed my puppy asleep on my warming my bones and reflect on another summer passed too fast. Summer’s are like the may fly seasons gone in the blink of a poppy field’s blooming. Sandal feet for the first time in months turn to ice and thoughts of wool socks. The nights are drawing in and encampments are being made with duvets to see through the cold coming fast.
