We’re up to episode 6 of The Serpent, very much enjoying it.Morning all...Finished watching The Serpent on iplayer last night, by 'eck that Alain is a nasty bit of work. Also found watching Winter Walks very relaxing. Selina Scott, The Reverend Richard Coles and Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, two more to watch. They're only short programs but very watchable. Shame about the scenery though!
Watched one Winter Walk so far, the one with Simon Armitage in Robin Hood’s Bay, enjoyed that too, will look up the others on i-player.
I have just caught up with last Saturdays episodes of Spiral, series 8. It's on BBC4 and has started off as good as the other 7 series.
For anyone who hasn't seen the other 7 series, it would be best to start at the beginning. as they all kind of follow on.

Thanks for reminding me about Spiral, that'll be my next binge watch. Seen them all except for series 8.

MrsF seriously regretting that she’s at work today. I keep reminding her that she can give it up any time she likes but she’s got it into her head to continue until June. If she shows any signs of continuing further I will remind her about days like today

I often watch normal programmes with the subtitles because I find the sound a bit wobbly and miss half the words
I could be getting old but apparently my hearing is pretty close to perfect - when I went for a test last year

Doesn’t help that the background music is sometimes a bit loud in some programmes. Turning the sound up doesn’t help as the music just gets louder too.

I might have a little siesta. I’ve jogged and walked and my Garmin says my body battery is low and I should have a rest!

She's not bad, her blood tests came back as OK, she had a telephone chat with her GP and he recomended elevating the leg and taking pain killers, just what we had been doing since the leg swelled up. She has an arthritic knee, its same leg that swelled up, which restricts her mobility, and its getting worse but at the moment its difficult to impossible to get her to a doctor and get something done about it.
