The old TV broke down in the house which meant we had to get ourselves a new one. Obviously that meant going for an HDTV with a digital tuner built in so that we were ready for the digital switch over.

Bit of a more personal post this... Watching the early spring evening skies as the clouds flow by, change colours and dimming with Frederick Chopin's "Grand Waltz Brilliant" playing in the background was very soothing for some reason today.
