An Age of Magic

A great device for allergy sufferers

I just saw these great little inventions, Austin Air air purifiers, advertised and I wonder how long it will be before they become standard inclusions in hotels. If you suffer from allergies, as many people do these days, they would really benefit those hotels which accept pets in the rooms.

Just recently we stayed in a hotel where the previous occupants left their mark in the form of pungent perfume smells and the room had not been properly aired. I am not usually allergic to anything but I spent the night sneezing my head off!

Remember when TV’s had knobs?

We are looking to update our TV – the one we currently have was purchased back in 2002 and just six years ago it was the top of the range. But going around the electrical stores these days it is plain and obvious just how TV’s have changed and how out of date our ‘old’ JVC has become.

Our old JVC does not have knobs and it was the first TV  I had which was fully remote controlled – I prefer the old ‘knob’ variety – simply because if the remote gets broken, or the batteries die, you are stuck.

Now we are having to choose between plasma screens and the new pop up tv which look certainly look great…but look to be a nightmare to learn how to use!
