We watch iPlayer even on this old tv (must be nearly 20 years old) - Is that 'cos we have Virgin cable?
I'm not terribly au fait with why such things happen - I just use them
I don't think that watching tv with special glasses on is for me - it'd bu$$er my knitting up
We managed for more than 5 years without a tv - we were students and impoverished and although we had a little portable we couldn't afford the tv licence so we put it in son's attic and left it there until we'd finished our MAs and earned enough money to put food in our mouths. It was fine - we listened to a lot of R4 and lots of music and read lots when we weren't painting ... and of course we were studying, writing critical theory and dissertations and everything ... no time for tv.
BL, glad horse has had her teeth fixed. She'll be happier now
Yvie, you should have given Hosta a shout - he was awake - he'd have shut your greenhouse up for you, wouldn't you Hosta?
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
My husband needs room to get in and out of his car. He can walk well with his artificial limb, but then there are bad days as well. After all these years it does put a strain on his back. He doesn't claim any benefits and can't even get a blue badge.
It's not fair, is it Fritillary? The number of perfectly able-bodied people displaying blue badges (presumably belonging to someone else) makes me mad. I believe there's a black market in them too...
Our TV is too old to have HD. But since it still works, I doubt we'll be replacing it any time soon - and what you've never had, you don't miss, as my granny used to tell me
Must go out again. Got a bit cold because the sun hasn't reached my garden yet, so came in for a cuppa. It's a gorgeous day!
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
You could have used it while you needed it and then given it up Hosta.
Sometimes, I think, people use them when they are poorly but when they are better are loath to give them up. My husband tries to park so he has more room to get out of the car, but if the next door car has moved and a different one is parked there more often or not it has parked closer to his car, so making it more difficult for him to get back in..
I can't join in this conversation since we live a bit remote from major centres and there is always parking spaces at the supermarket car parks. But, I sympathise with those who find it difficult.
Have just found a pair of Felco secateurs I lost in the garden last summer. It has made me quite irrationally happy, even though they are totally rusted.
Another coffee I think, then must do something other than wander round.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team

I was offered a blue badge before I had my hip surgery in 2005.

Hubby was livid, he'd have loved me to have one.
Morning everyone.

Forgot to say I'm in total agreement with Punkdoc. But better not get started on politics or I won't get the pruning done...

Sun now shining.

Never mind Runny, a spot of gardening and sunshine will help.
bed for me, now, such a surprise getting to bed before 11 pm. Probably won't be able to nod off now.
