Another trip on a very hot bus.

Wellllllllll, we are now the proud owners of a 7inch flat screen TV. Caught the bus this morning back into Stockport, oh what intrepid travellers we are. Popped the prescription into Boots to be collected on the way back. Found Maplins and once inside Paul was like a kid in a sweet shop, all this electronic stuff makes him so happy. On checking out the small TV's he decided that the 10inch one was too large so after chatting to a salesman who looked about 12, 7inch one was selected then of course all the connections had to be bought as well. Wallet was opened dust blown off card purchase made. Just as we were leaving the shop Paul saw a solar powered spot light (2 in a box 4.99). "That's just the thing to put the camera in and I need a solar unit to power the remote" was his retort, so back to the desk and a fiver was found to pay for that. What are we going to do with the spare one I wonder as we already have 3 lights on top of the boat. I then dragged him out of the shop before he found something else he could adapt for some job or other. Prescription was picked up then it was back to the bus station and eventually the boat.
Needless to say as soon as he was on the boat Paul had everything out of the boxes, yes the camera does fit inside the casing of the solar light so that's okay, now he is surrounded by wires, soldering iron is out and hopefully everything will be up and running by this evening or else I can see us staying here until it is. He did find a bit of dodgy wiring when he took the ceiling panel down but he sorted that out before he started on the camera wiring. (there was a lot of swearing though).
At this moment in time all I can hear behind me is a lot of expletives as things don't seem to be going to plan. But knowing Paul he will stick with it or until he has had a nervous breakdown. Better get the beers in the fridge.
Found out that there is a festival at Marple locks this weekend apparently the locks are 100 years old so there is some sort of bash going on, we need to be well away from here by Wednesday at the latest or else we are going to get caught up in it all.
There has just been a very loud EUREKA so I gather that we have lift off with regards to the camera relaying pictures to the screen if your lucky I may take some pictures with my NEW CAMERA watch this space.
