It sounds amazing Gert. Our TV shows us television. If someone reminds me I can put in a memory stick and look at our photos.  The very best part is that you have already sold the old TV. That always makes a purchase seem so much more sensible.

Gert, your new TV sounds wonderful and it is great that you have sold your old one.

A real bonus that you sold your old TV Gert.Your new TV certainly has plenty of bells and whistles to keep you occupied  ;D

Amazing Gert.
I purchased a $100. Kogan air fryer which arrived today. Cooked my pumpkin in it tonight. I don't think it is quite as powerful as the Phillips but did a good job all the same and 1/3 of the price.
Certainly not as interesting as Gert or Cookies purchases.

Well all that technology just went over my head. I have a mobile phone but still cant work out how to send a text message so I just ring everyone up. Give me a thermomix or sewing machine any day.

Next time you meet the girls Troupie, ask one of them to show you how to send a text message.

its 7 months away so if it was me, I would wait (depending on how regularly it shuts down) and whether the new projected features are what you would really like. Can you take it to Apple in Garden City and get them to look at it, as it may be something they can fix on the spot?

Thanks CP,  I think the Apple Store in the city would be closer for me, hadn't thought of that lol
It's been dropped a couple of times so that probably doesn't help. It's been playing up for awhile so a bit longer I can cope with.  Not sure what the projected features are but they have to be better than what this one has its pretty old.

It's amazing what they can do in the Apple stores Jeninwa. I have taken DH's a couple of times. You just ring or email and. Are an appointment time.

I ordered Louise Fulton Keats' new "Something for Everyone" book. I really liked the baby and toddler book so I'm hoping this one will be as good. It was shipped today so hopefully won't take to long to arrive.
I have a Facebook page with all things cooking, you'll find it here: https://www.facebook.com/What-Amber-Ate-1097437023601587/

It will be interesting what you think of the new book Jamberie.
