TV, nearly, and trees, but no PC

The tv decoder arrived (from France Telecom/Orange, part of the netz package at no extra charge except oh did they forget to mention the deposit?).

There are never enough power points.

At Pons, though the Donjon is closed for the winter (you can go into the tourist office and press your nose to the glass door and try to peer upwards), the sadly pollarded trees are fighting back with small new branches reaching vertically to the sky, in bright dark red. In the sunlight the trees look as though they are on fire.

In Leclerc the tv sets are very expensive and we left without buying one. There must be a cheaper source.

My beloved old PC, which appeared to have survived its year in storage and powered up with no trouble when I collected it, won't power up now.
