I am SO stupid. Repeat after me: I am SO stupid.

I have wrecked the television. Well, there is nothing on it as it was, like a list of live programmes and times from my favourite few channels. Now I have millions of weird channels, and I can't find the BBC or Ch 4!!! I DO NOT want to watch 'America's Most Unusual Festivals' (today's was BEARDS) 'World Poker Tour' holds no interest, and every obscure sport you could imagine, ditto food programmes. 

Why did I re-set it? Well, I read a review today of 'Payback', set in Edinburgh, being worth a look, and Nicky also mentioned it to me in a comment today. So I tried to find it on the TV, but it's not available north of the Borders. (WHY?) However, I could find it on my iPad. So I mirrored the iPad screen on the TV and we started watching it. All went well until it stopped working. So I began what turned out to be several hours of fiddling, typing in emails and passwords (on a remote) getting codes on my phone. On and on going round in circles, just about tearing my hair out. Bad words were spoken. Frequently. So I re-set the television, thinking I'd get back to my original settings. WRONG. I now have millions of apps and programme recommendations I do not want to see. Where is the channel guide? 

I've got iPlayer and CH4 apps, but not live feed and times.

I had to leave it for a while and take Archie out in the rain, whether he wanted to or not. We had another wet graveyard walk.

But don't worry, I have worked out how to watch the rugby tonight, and then I'll have to find someone to come and get my settings back.

In the midst of my mounting TV induced rage, the nurse rang about my blood pressure readings. Inconclusive, some were a wee bit low. So we decided to do it again in December, then she might change one of my pill doses.
