Last night there was a magic sunset that left the sky glowing pink.

It was really trippy, the whole backyard had a pink tinge to it, and upon heading out the front door we found out why.

I can’t believe its that time of year again, time to get up on the roof and hang lights and fill the house with shiny things.

Debate was had in our house where to put the tree, with the little man now mobile it might be a hard effort keeping him away from all the dangly things and eventually the presents.

But Mum overrules Dad, and the tree went back in the lounge like it always does.

We did keep the decorations up a bit from Lachies grabbing range (thanks to nana), in the hope that he won’t get too interested in the tree..  But time will tell.

So it seems that Dad couldn’t live without a functioning TV. 

If you don’t know the story of our TV then let me explain.  A few months ago our TV starting having issues.  Black lines appeared on the screen out of nowhere and would come and go over time.

After a while they spent more time on the screen than not, and so making any serious TV watching hard to do.  After a bit of googling Dad thought that he would be able to fix it, and so along with his trusty assistant they set off to pull the TV apart, resoldier some of the connections and put it back togther.

And to everyones supprise, it actually worked.    Or so we thought….

Two weeks ago it started flickering, and got so bad that it was un-watchable.  Even the trustry screwdriver and a false sense of ability couldn’t fix this easily.

So research began…  This time we wern’t going to rush into a new TV purchase without thought, and after much research decided to settle on the 50″ panasonic Full HD set (TH-50PZ800A).

So enough ranting, here it is.  The best feature is the built in HD tuner, so bye bye set top box. (and 1 less remote).

PS: The playstation looks MAD on this, I highly recommend anyone thinking of getting a HD set but wondering if its worth it to do so. MAD I say…
