Tim and Elly met outside Mrs Ls house ready to set up her new TV.

We knocked on the door, and Mrs L let us in. She showed us the old TV which we removed and cleared a space for the new one. After unpacking the new telly we put it in place and then attempted to set it up which turned out to be harder that we had imagined. Mrs L was keen to have chat as well so we each took it in turns to play around with the TV, trying different cables and settings whilst the other one chatted to Mrs L.

After a lot of attempts and a phone call to the TV customer support we decided that Mrs L needed someone who knew a bit more about aerials to sort out her tv. So instead we helped her with a few other little jobs and tuned her radio so she she could listed to Radio 4 whilst she didn't have a TV.

We said goodbye and parted ways, running and cycling off in different directions.

There wasn't any chance to take any photos so I've done a quick sketch of us trying to sort the tv out.
