“You only think it’s there because you can see it.”

Perhaps a little explanation would be helpful. Those of a certain age may remember that when you turned off an old television set the screen went black but there was a white dot that took a few seconds to disappear.
I made the above comment to Madame many years ago on just such an occasion. I forget exactly why: probably because I meant to say something else. That’s what usually happens.
It may seem, at the very least, a statement of the bleedin’ obvious but in my defence I would argue that in fact it raises some very profound philosophical questions about the very meaning of perception.
You’re welcome.

the only deadhead in the hameau 
I remember those old TV sets.
Yes: weighed a ton and you needed binoculars to see the screen. And no remote. How did we ever manage?
I grew up with those old TV’s. They were around for quite a while.
Haha! Thank you. I remember as a child looking very very closely at that little dot, to see if there was a miniature of the program I was watching still playing there.
