Over a week since my last post. The fact is that there is not much to write about on a day-to-day basis; one day is pretty much like another. We get up late, drink tea and read the paper, check twitter and facebook, breakfast, shower, go for a walk, lunch, waste time on the PC, prepare and eat dinner, watch TV (or write a blog). A couple of times a week friends visit and bring lunch with them. Today Martino and Bill come laden with goodies and cook a lovely fish and pasta dish which is washed down with a delightful Maconnais (with a Cremant de Loire rose as aperitif, though I am of course watching my alcohol intake which leaves more for everyone else!). This is delightful and and passes away the afternoon.
Actually we are not watching a lot of TV in the evenings as, being laid up is an opportunity to catch up on series 2 and 3 of the US House of Cards, so I have registered with Netflix. Not bingeing you understand, just watching 1 or 2 episodes each evening (we saw series 1 on the way to and from China last year).
I am also catching up with a few other series including The Saboteurs, Humans, The Interceptor. The first two are on Channel 4 and it is very annoying to have to watch 15 minutes of adverts every hour. It seems there is no way to skip them unless I record the programmes first on Tivo, which means I can skip through them.
Netflix of course has no adverts. On line viewing may be de rigeur when the government gets rid of the BBC.
