The smile! Yes. Good one CS
Well, we know what you'll be doing lately.Today I learnt that the world is changing. We bought our last TV perhaps 15-20 years ago, 32" for about $250 I vaguely remember. Apparently old-fashioned, non-smart TV's don't exist longer. I went to several places but nada. Finally, full of apprehension, I bought at Sam's Club a 40" smart TV for $158. Supposedly with 260 free TV channels and 6,000 free movies (true?) Setting it up at home, I was also able to plug-in our Los Angeles area 165 free antenna TV channels. Of course, for pay you can watch Netflix and a dozen others.
The control has a special button for "watch free," and you can search for channels or movies in different ways. There are "previous channels" buttons and other useful ones. My apprehension quickly turned into admiration for the new world, and all that for less than our smaller, ancient TV's. Wow, I am flabbergasted. I wish all of the new inventions were that exciting. It's like cable TV but free, although for the latest movies, I am sure, you'll have to pay. Life after all is really not that boring.

You can search by title or by numbers, like our local TV stations (ABC7 just type in "7")

fortunately where I live is not run down far from it....and it's thriving as an ancient market town.. but they've forgotten about things to do for older people.. lots to do if you're young or have children.. but nothing for older people. They just rely on the myriad of restaurants..That was more or less our situation when we lived in Goodmayes. Ilford that was once bright and thriving, had become shabby and run down. We found travelling the opposite way to Romford much better for shopping and recreation. We still went into the West End for shows, dancing and an occasional shopping trip, but as you pointed out, public transport, (does the number 25 still run to Victoria?) congestion charge and parking costs, are all but prohibitive.
She's beautiful!!!! Hugs to her!@Trila may have created a monster. Found a pic of Maggiecat View attachment 362256
DGS calls her a spotted watermelonthat's not a cat that a Cougar...![]()
I had forgotten that regular dryers that vent outside are 240. So I had to search for an apartment dryer that vents into a bucket of water and is 120. It takes much longer to dry items.Our washers are 120, dryers usually 240. When I lived in a townhouse, I had a tiny 120 dryer that didn’t vent outside. I’d roll it out of the closet. Not perfect. I used a wooden drying rack part of the time.
Is there a possibility of separating part of the bathroom into another room that technically allows a plug.
yes I am..I've just been talking to the sellers.. and they're going on holiday until mid September so I'm going to look at it again on the 14thDGS calls her a spotted watermelon. She's not exactly dainty, about 25 lbs, but there's lots of her to love. And she doesn't scratch the sofa
. I love Maggiecat.
@hollydolly Are you going to look at the apartment again? Don't forget to measure.
Still trying to make myself go out and kill more weeds. It's kinda chilly (65) this morning so I was waiting for the sun to hit the spot where I want to work.
yep..you see this is the thing. Electricity is very expensive here so the last thing anyone wants is a dryer that takes forever to dry anything. The one I have now which is broken down.. takes about 45 minutes to dry everything.. including towels...I had forgotten that regular dryers that vent outside are 240. So I had to search for an apartment dryer that vents into a bucket of water and is 120. It takes much longer to dry items.
yes I have a retractable washing line which is how I've been drying the clothes for the last few weeks.. Lucky to have hot sunny weather all this time. I've always had the washing line, but I only ever used it to dry Quilts and pillows etc in the past.Hollydolly, do you have an outdoor washing line? The recent warm weather has done a great job of drying our washing.
