At the moment all is peaceful, just the cat purring beside me and the central heating boiler doing its stuff, but will be putting the TV on in a minute to listen to/half watch the final instalment of this week's 'Four In A Bed' (Channel 4) which I have just recorded. Ah, there's the sound of the DVD recorder switching itself off..
