I think TV has been pretty rubbish too, apart from Christmas Day when there was Strictly, Midwives and a 2 hour long Victoria, which I love. If the children had been here I wouldn't have been able to watch it, they always turn on French TV or bring DVDs with them. Nothing on Christmas Eve or Boxing Day. Did enjoy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, thought I'd seen it, but I hadn't, only read the book.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Yes, hosta the day we moved in the folk in the next road had pelargoiums out in flower in terracotta pots in their fron garden, I mentioned it to my Hubby. We have scented ones in pots out the front been there 3 years, was going to get them in, then ended up ill and in Hospital, they are still flowering now!
Possum has just negotiated with OH to watch the Dr ho special during her study break this afternoon. I haven't watched it for a very long time as it got too silly several doctors ago. We still have Strictly and the Miniaturist to watch as Possum refuses. She put on a new DVD film last night - Valerian. Biggest load of tosh.
I am now in the kitchen with the Freeview box catching up on the Blue Planet while I sew. Love the Harry Potter stuff Busy. We have the books which Possum won't read but also the DVDs and the CDs read by Stephen Fry which she will watch and listen to most readily. The CDs were great for long car journeys to ski in Livigno or the beach in Tuscany. "Are we nearly there?" became "Can we stay in the car till the end of the chapter?"
Have just had an email from an organisation fighting to ban neonicotinoids to save bees. Seems a study shows they're also killing off sparrows, swallows and thrushes in the study area at an alarming rate. Needless to say, having Bayer and Monsanto continue their proposed merger will just bring lots of nasty lawyers together and make it harder to fight them. What with that and plastics and Trump a girl could get depressed.

Right, need to get moving, the sun is shining now.
