Matter of record

I have been a bit worried about the DVD recorder of late - it didn't record four programs this week. I wasn't sure what was going wrong - it wasn't as though I'd filled all the pages at all. I couldn't even get it to work when I just pressed the record button, forget about setting the timer - and as I was doing that, I saw the error message "disk full". Who would have thought of that (besides Sooz!). I've spent some time this weekend going through the disk, seeing what I needed to watch, what I wanted to keep, and what could go without further ado. I am amazed how much - yet how little - I am recording these days. Mostly it's only two channels - and surprisingly - this isn't reflected in the general television ratings!
