I'm scared of my TV

It’s a lovely day and I smell of gardening! But more on that later!

My TV is far too spoogly it scares me. Yesterday when I turned it on, it popped up a box onto the screen:

Software update detected. Do you want to download now?

Meep goes I. I never knew it did that. I never knew TVs could do that! I selected yes and it told me to leave the TV on standby for the next 24 hours to download the update. So now I’m all curious as to how it works. It’s obviously receiving the update from a digital broadcast over the TV aerial, but who’s sending it? What’s the update for? How secure is this? Could someone send me a malicious update? It’s all very strange! *scared*

I can’t seem to leave to house without exciting things happening. Just popped out to the local asian minimarket shop for goodies, and witnessed a shoplifting for the first time. I was just about to be served at the checkout, when the person behind me in the queue tried to sneak out of the shop without paying. Shopkeeper ran out of the shop in chase, and also about 6 staff emerged from out-of-nowhere (so it seemed) and joined the pursuit down the street. All very exciting. I got served by someone else eventually, and when i left the shop there was still no sign of any of the chasers returning, so the chase must still have been on. I wonder if they caught him? *wonders*

Anyway, gardening. The dynasty continues! The potatoes have been planted! Hoorah! Long live the dynasty! They’re hiding just behind the swimming pool (when did we get a swimming pool? oh, but that’s another story!) *yay*

The rose plant that cassielalone got me for Valentine’s day has flowered again. It’s very very pretty. This makes me happy. *soppy thoughts*

Will be heading out to verlaine, the_alchemist and casby‘s party soon, so hopefully see lots of you there! Shower first as I smell of garden. *nods*

Right, off we go ...
