    Glad you put your foot down over Top Gear…..can you watch your programme on catch up. Dh is watching Back to The future……must have seen it hundreds of times over the years. I’ve been out most of the day though and he was already watching when I came in…so I’ve picked my iPad up for a catch up.
    Enjoy the fair tomorrow if you get there.

    Love a bit of Benidorm, we always watch it if we are channel hopping with nothing to watch. Also love the old TG special episodes, could watch them many times...in fact we already have....lol.   Seems to be rubbish on TV at the moment, think its the time of year. Just lately we have watched Canal Diaries, which I find very relaxing and love watching anything that involves people travelling, we watch all the travel programs and stuff like that. .   Tonight will be football.

    I  agree about rubbish TV at the moment. We have got Star Trek TNG on at the moment for the umpteenth time. Hence me being on here.

    TV is always rubbish in the summer. I think they think everyone is either away or outside barbecueing. 

    Star Trek 😞 - I would lose the will to live.

    My OH decided today to try and mend the broken toaster that we have had for years. After much banging and rattling he gave up. What really annoyed me was that if any equipment he has to use to do a job, breaks, well before you can count to a 100, he is googling and ordering himself a new one. Glass of wine works wonders for me as well, enjoy.xx

    Oh dear. I do think he has been trying your patience such a lot lately. Maybe the threat of his sister will do the trick
