I can remember life before TV, makes me feel very old.
The first TV we had was very small screen, could have been 12", for the Coronation, before that there was only on family in our street who could afford one, and if there was something really special on we would all pile into their house to watch it.
Got quite a busy day today, I have cleaned the conservatory, bathroom, flicked a duster over the rest of the place, had coffee, made tonight's tea, Irish Stew, with the left over lamb from last night. This afternoon, library, visit Mum, then on to daughters to see how she got on at work. She has been of work with a broken foot and torn ligaments for 10 weeks and she now has to see HR to explain why she has been off for so long.
Certificates from the Dr have been provided, she has seen Occupational Health, now having physio ,why does she need to explain. Have they nothing better to do?
Moan over, must away to finish off jobs, might be back later
Sympathies to your daughter Chris - I slipped on snow winter 2020/ 2011 and am still having treatent and discomfort. I ripped all tendons in foot, mind you I also did not seek help. Oh I'll rest it was my solution That Attitude jusr doesn't work some times. Was told I am right age for tis to happen
On Saturday i was told Inkie cat was right age for her problems to develop.
Chris - hope your daughter will soon be feeling better. It's a nightmare the way you are sometimes treated when legitimately off work. I was off for a long time with a slipped disc and had to see almost everyone, HR's reason for my interview was something politically correct like "Employer's Duty of Care". I told them it was too painful for me to travel to see them . They settled for a phone interview which was over in about 30 seconds! It is upsetting though when you are unwell and made to feel as if you are cheating - surely a doctor's paper is enough for these people.
We didn't get a TV until 1963-also had to visit neighbours-it was all radio before then and none of this 1,2,3,4,5 etc stuff just the Light programmes and the Home Service -could not cope with The Third Programme-too posh-have made up for my deprived childhood since then.
Chris-but you sound sooooo young
Just been watching one of those property buying programmes-not only was the home bit based in Surrey- and my birth place of Ash- but the away bit was in Argeles France where we went this year-now what are the chances of that?
Venice is flooded-there might be a song about that?
I used to listen to Radio Luxembourg with earplug (just the one) in bed late at night, hiding under the covers so my parents wouldn't catch me! The signal would always disappear in the middle of any favourite songs though!
Right - time to go and do something houseworky now . Catch you later ~~~~~

Oh no, Flo's got me going on another song now - "On white horses let me ride away, to my world of dreams so far away let me run,to the sun ... "
Geoff - not much room in that getaway car, but don't worry I'll help out
Morning All.
Hope everyone is well

Postman Pat had a catchy tune
