Something

What is everyone doing to keep going?

Biggest excitement for us was our first online supermarket delivery. More slots are becoming available now so we were able to get one with Asda.

we chose Asda as for me they make by far and away the best gluten free bread and unlike Genius gluten free, it isn't packed with Xanthan gum. Xanthan gum is an awful product originally derived from the bacteria that makes cabbages go mouldy, black and slimy - poisonous. But despite that it's not that which puts me off as Xanthan gum is just like glue to me or rather plaster of Paris, I would be better off eating wheat!

Anyway they delivered almost everything we requested and it all had a good long date and even the bananas were very green, which we like.

Bye Bye Communist TV Station

 Does anyone else feel that the world has actually stopped and is simply on repeat?

We had a delivery of phlox plants, I hope to use them as ground cover - in place of weeds! Any advice is most welcome.

Well, we finally took the decision to cancel our TV licence and stop watching live TV. I honestly don't know why it has taken us so long. The biased news reporting, which has been going on for a very long time was one reason. The huge salaries paid to underwhelming (lack of) talent was another. The scrapping of the free licence for the over 75s another. Ridiculous diversity programming, useless dead brained local radio stations, the list goes on and on.

But we hardly watched anything at all on the BBC, the output is dreadful.

So after looking around for help I came upon ChilliJonCarne who has a website and YouTube videos. No BBC. No IPlayer. No Live TV.
