Linda is obsessed by weather prediction and, despite having listened to the shipping forecast and radio weather reports, she has to see it on a computer generated map on the television.
This morning, just before the weather report, there was a short piece about a partial eclipse.
Some BBC iCandy and a Boffin were discussing the eclipse live from the beach just outside our flat.
I went down to investigate.
The iCandy had disappeared into the BBC van (in case her hair went frizzy in the drizzle no doubt) the boffin and a tele-bod remained.
'You'll be lucky to see anything this morning' was my cheery remark.
The boffin assured me his luck was very good.
I looked at the space where the blank grey sky met the blank grey sea and suggested it would have to be.
The boffin then started talking about refractive indices and I moved away slowly.
The boffin is the one in the wide brimmed hat
So, once again I failed to get myself on the tele.

That TV affliction is why my lovely bride and I have separate accommodations. I don't have her 24 hour a day TV and she does not have to listen to my peace and quite. I do admit I often listen to the radio and at other times listen to music but today's lunch was typical. I listened to the ringing in my ears.
About the TV appearance, be careful what you wish for.
