I inadvertently tuned into Eurovision for a few seconds, but I think I managed to change channel before any lasting damage was done.

I am not allowed to see it. :mad:

Apparently, we have a large backlog of intellectual stuff on the hard drive which needs clearing. You know, Countryfile and Midsomer Murders, that sort of intellectual....;)

I can't get the radio

Sue I'll be unhearingly cheering you on.

My earpiece on my PC decided about a week ago that it didn't want to work any more, so I'm back to having no sound.

Thing is, what viva's proposing would actually enhance her entire living space....even if the actual ''room'' would be similar the impact on the way she lives/the rest of her house wouldn't be.

A big problem for me is that I can't enjoy my garden because it is a sun trap. Although many people love gardens like that, I can't because of my skin. So I need something that will enable me to open the house out to the elements and have an al fresco space that's always shady. I want to smell my flowers and enjoy the birdsong like everyone else and at the moment I can't. Though round here the birdsong currently is crows and pidgeons and my flowers are dandelions (well they were until I bought one of those natty Fiskars gadgets).

These are the kinds of flyscreens I like:

I've never seen/heard of such things. Only time I've seen any flyscreens is on the telly, when they tend to be in American films of shabby people living in the sticks

I had NO idea such posh things existed.

And ... what the heck is she wearing/what does she look like in the top picture on page 7??

I fancy one of the big motorised ones but it would then make it hard to use the doorway.

This type of room is very big in Florida.

I am convinced that the picture on page 7 is a gift for any boob loving man to say congratulations on getting this far into a brochure. However what she is wearing, well, that I don't know.

In terms of the ones I would want, I like the invisible cassette ones that pull over from the side, max 4.5m for two doors, which is fine for the space I'm looking at. These are on page 2. For my windows, I like the pull down cassette type, on page 6. With the former I'm not sure what sort of recess they would need to work with bifold type doors across the recess (well there would be more than two folds but I don't know how to describe them - concertina style?). I don't plan to have much furniture in my al fresco space, just a nice tiled floor and the ability to change the space according to season/heat.

All of this is a dream at the moment, I can't do any of it until my endowment pays out.

I think I noticed a spelling mistake in that brochure.....they have said "out of site" when I think it should say "out of sight".

Good spot Sue. I know that some things are spelt differently in Aus, colour for example, but I don't think sight is site.

BTW, have you posted your link yet? If not, can I be PM'd pretty please?

I never read the brochure. Just scrolled down, spotted the odd bird on page 7, then closed the tab
