My Good Lady is watching Flogit and I'm sat wandering round cycle chat on my tablet.

I'm off to bed. To read.

I prefer reading to watching the TV. The pictures in my mind from a book are so much better than the dross on TV. Plus books are always better - far richer and numerous plot lines, greater character development, and detailed locations.

I was given a few bottles of this as thank you for helping my Slovak friend with a few things.

I'm not normally a fan of lager but I have to say this one is genuinely very nice

On the tv thing, maybe it's post traumatic X factor disorder? The best I could find was 'Banged up Abroad' but eventually binned it off and read a book

I avoid all reality TV game shows like Big Brother and the jungle one. Mind-numbing doesn’t even come close to describing that crap.

It took approximately 0.5 seconds watching German TV to discover it is no better, just harder to understand.

So we didn't get a TV. Eighteen years and counting and we haven't missed it yet.

Before I sound too self-righteous I sould add that I'm addicted to cycling videos on YouTube.

Morning! I just took a look out of the window. There is a clear sky with a large planet shining brightly. There is some cloud way over to the East on the horizon.

On the telly front. We watched Strictly Come Dancing as we have a local young chap who seems to be doing quite well.
There was an interesting new programme on BBC last night on how Britain started the Industrial Revolution.

I don't know if I have a bug or what. Yesterday I missed my toddler Grandson's Birthday party as I started feeling a bit faint. I felt cold and achy and tired. I thought that if I went I would be a burden and spoil their enjoyment. So I stayed at home in the warm and slept most of the afternoon. I also went to bed at 9 as I was so tired. I'm feeling alright so far but have a mild headache.

Not a bad day.
Pumping station sorted,now pumping.
Monday's come round so quickly.
Work internet WiFi is just like dial-up lol.

10:32 in the morning and none of my clients have turned up, bless 'em.

They'll be along in a bit. Probably.

I think you did the right thing there. If you are not feeling well enough to enjoy a party, then as you say, it might spoil their enjoyment. When you are feeling better, they will be very pleased to see you.

To be fair, no one has released a proper Christmas song for years which is why they keep playing the old ones over and over and over again.

I appear to be the only person who doesn't like Kirsty and the Pogues.

I've only ever liked one Christmas song,

They're in alignment today.

Sat in the cinema waiting for Bohemian Rhapsody to start.

Visiting the cinema on a Monday morning is slightly odd.
