I think I mentioned I bought a TV set, even though I've never been a tv watcher. I think I'm just so bored from staying in isolation that I am buying things I don't need. The TV wasn't all - then I needed a nice stand to put it on. Jeannie, Donald and the girls came by last night and Donald put together the stand that I bought for the TV to sit on! Right now it is in front of the fireplace which will be ok until the fall turns cool and I want to have a cozy fire.
Click on the photo to enlarge it a bit.
I don't know if you can see this very well because everything is black - black stones in the fireplace, black tv, and black stand. I see my image is reflected in the tv screen! I don't know yet what to put on the shelves of the TV stand - it will have to be things that Rocky isn't interested in.
This weather sure saps my energy but there isn't anything I really have to get done until later in the week when the temps will come down quite a bit.
Take care, and stay cool if you are in a hot zone as Sacramento is right now. And this is still May, so what will summer be like?

106 right now and getting warmer as we head for the weekend. I stay inside. Makes it easy to isolate. I love my tv. I was really excited to watch the SpaceX take off today but it hot scrubbed. Hope it goes on Saturday.
ReplyDeleteI have never been a TV watcher, and probably won't change at this stage in my life.
DeleteThe thing I don't like about SpaceX is that I can't stand Elon Musk!
It was around 80F here on Vancouver Island a very nice day. I hope your weather will be more to your liking soon. TV can be company on these lonely days. Maybe you can find some good programs.
ReplyDelete80F sounds delightful. I think we might reach that by the end of the week, but we stlll have another scorcher coming up tomorrow. I just stay inside.
DeleteI had mentioned on another post that I did not realize you had bought a television set. Good for you! You can watch your local news channels we in Del Rio have none so we have to pay for cable or have a blank TV.
ReplyDeleteWe have something in common today...both of our cities hit a high of 101 degrees. We are having terrible storms in Texas this evening...they even pre-empted my soaps...awful winds and hail in the San Antonio area!
I do hope you will learn to like your TV.
I forget what kind of TV I have, but it gets internet programs that you don't have to pay for, I think I mentioned I get past episodes of Ancient Aliens which is one show I watched fairly often when I had TV. I don't watch network news but there are a lot of independent news sources as well as internet news. I still prefer the computer but I may adapt in the coming weeks and months.
DeleteNice TV stand. Sometimes I turn mine on just for the voices. I don't watch to much I like some things on PBS but they keep showing the same things over and over. When they have the animal shows I will watch those and dabl is a station that has a show all about people looking for propeties in the UK which mostly is Ireland, Scottland and walls so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe hit 103 today and I had a grocery delivery and it didn't show up until 10so next order I will do 8-9 am slot.
It really is a nice stand, better than I had expected. I like the animal shows also, and I might start watching more as the days go by. It sure is to hot to do anything else!
DeleteIf it gets too hot you might reconsider watching Television.
ReplyDeleteBe Safe and Enjoy staying cool.
It's about time.
I think I already am reconsidering. The thing is that there is so few shows that appeal to me.
DeleteFrom what I see, looks like you have a Vizio TV. Years ago my grandson counseled me that I would like that company. He was right. I bought one then, and have since bought two more. It is a "smart tv". The Vizio remote takes you to the internet. With the first tv, I encountered some problems. Just things I didn't understand. Their customer service was outstanding. I mean, the people spoke English at home, obviously! I think you are going to like it.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I checked it out first and I think Vizio is made in the USA. It is really difficult to find where most things are made these days - no doubt the companies don't want to admit that nearly everything we buy is made in China. I like the fact that this tv gets a lot more than the standard television, including internet. I watched an hour of Ancient Aliens last night - I love that program.
DeleteRunNRose is correct my first Smart TV was a Vizio and I did a lot of research before I bought it and have not ever regretted purchasing it. I have since purchased two more including one for my uncle and he loves it as well.
DeleteWhile I did not know it was made in the USA...that is certainly a plus. With all we have been going through with this pandemic I think WE (us Americans) should consider making and purchasing more things that are made in our own country.
I am definitely trying to buy American, although that sometimes mean not buying something because it's made in China and I can't find it anywhere else. It takes some digging to find out the origins of what we consider buying, but if we don't do it we are just supporting a regime that is in complete opposition to the principles our country was founded on. By the way, quite a few American companies moved to China and operate in that country - they have nothing to do with th USA except to push their products. Don't be fooled.
