I have a great TV.

I have a great TV. It's German, it's big and it has great picture. It's not plasma but it has all sorts of digital features that sound important and no doubt enhance the viewer experience. But there's a small problem - if we try and record the Cable TV via the VCR we get perfect picture but buzzing sound. HK TV is rarely good so it is important to be able to capture the few odd shows worth watching.

The man from Cable TV came to fix the problem. It turns out the problem is with the TV. I spent the obligatory male 15 minutes trying to work it out last night, but hit a dead end. So first thing this morning I ring the local distributor to try and get to the bottom of it. But in HK nothing starts before 10am. Or maybe 11am. So here I am venting on the blog instead. To make matters worse this is the second time I've written this as the first was disappeared when Explorer crashed. Not happy.

Last night went to Water Margin at Times Square for dinner. Went with a couple of friends in town for a big jewellery exhibition. This exhibition is huge - they estimate there is billions of (US) dollars worth of diamonds and jewellery there. Every year a few dealers have suitcases stolen with a few million worth in it, this year being no exception. The food was good northern Chinese style, which means spicy. The place was busy and it seems that HK is back to normal and starting to recover from the economic doldrums.

Mrs M has a busy day with a tennis lesson before tomorrow's Disneyland tennis competition, some bonding with the girls and then a Bee Gees cover band at AMC tonight. Misti had a haircut so she can better cope with the heat. She mostly copes by sleeping or hovering near JC and PB while they eat. She has a great life.

So I've managed to now kill enough time to get to 10am. I'm going to try ringing the TV people again. Wish me luck.
