Lockdown version 2.0 I decided to do a decent home cinema room (it’s in a separate building to the main house) so went the full monty on it with a suspended ceiling, led lighting, 4K LED projector, 104” Elite screens fixed screen, 7.1 audio and two motorised recliners. All controlled with a Control 4 automation system. I’ll get some photos when I get a chance! Could have had a Daytona for what I’ve spent on it but I love it and it gets plenty of use so happy out! Had a background in AV so did most of the work myself.

Last summer the kids playroom and half office got an overhaul. Covid boredom and I bought a 4K projector from adverts. 5.1 speakers and put it all together. Nothing quite like a 90 inch picture. Quality is awesome for a 800 euro projector onto a white wall. Was something like 1500 new and bulb had very little use. Ps5 and Xbox series x connected to it for the kids. Last month I picked up some nice stereo speakers from adverts and a new stereo amp for a bit of relaxed music listening. Even added a turntable last week even though I haven’t had vinyl for a few years. Slippery slope and unless you spend mad money will do well to beat lossless digital quality. So that’s where my spare watch money has been going lately. Oh and it’s my full time office now complete with standing electric desk and proper office chair.

I too love all things aviation, served my time as a mechanic on narrow bodies (DC-9/MD-80 series, 737, 757) back in the early to mid 90s. Even now, I love nothing better than lining up on the end of a runway, or as close to the apron as you can get to see these majestic beasts as close as I can. However, I am also driven to distraction by these: And these: I love motor racing and have been to a couple of Formula 1 races, MotoGP, World Superbikes and BSB. It is my fervent hope to get back to a trackday in Mondello before the end of this year.
