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?
September 7, 2008 on 9:20 am | In Miscellaneous, Technology | No CommentsWe 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 But going around the electrical stores these days it is plain and obvious just how TV’s have changed and how out of date our ‘old’ JVC has become.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!

Stepping back in time 2
September 2, 2008 on 9:30 am | In Culture, Miscellaneous | No CommentsI was talking recently about a visit recently to an elderly relatives house and how it was like entering a time warp walking into the her house. They never bothered with staying up to date with all the new gadgets and developments yet have always been happy with their simple but old fashioned house.
Just looking through their kitchen cupboards was interesting in itself; remember when biscuits came in fancy decorative tins…? yep, she has held onto all of them with some going back forty and fifty years. I am sure they must count as collectors pieces now.
Even the bathroom with it’s ancient bathroom faucets and cast iron bath tub.
