Is there anybody wanted to chat about nothing in particular, I need a distraction today.

  • Ok. 
    I have been distracting myself in the evenings with Landscape Artist of the Year” from the 1st series. 
    I am on series 5 out of 10.

    I very very rarely agree with their winner Laughing

  • I am also watching Bake Off from series 1 and am on series 7. 
    I am getting very confused with the contestants.

    It doesn’t help that I nod off and wake up 2 programmes later Rolling eyes

  • Right now I am watching a truly terrible B movie with Peter Cushing and some hilarious alien monsters.

  • My husband liked Landscape Artist. I think I’ll have to find something to get fixated on 

  • Its good that so many programmes have multiple series for us.

    I also have Sewing Bee and Pottery Throw-down. 
    Shakespeare and Hathaway, The Walking Dead - one extreme to the other!
    Call the midwife has been recommended as that has I think 10 series.

    Anything that doesn’t need concentration. 
    Doesn’t matter if I nod off and have to rewind, or for that matter fast forward.

    I have also become a jigsaw fiend. 
    The charity shops are doing well out of me! Luckily our local library has a jigsaw lending section. Though I my need to to go to the next town along as I’ve exhausted ours.

    And, who would have thought it - certainly not my beautiful Valen - I have become quite arty crafty and dabble and splash and splosh with all manner of paints. 
    I have turned his home office into a craft room. He was in the process of turning it into a reading room for me, but I really can’t settle to read at all. I was an avid reader but even t.v magazine is to much now.

  • This has actually just made me laugh out loud

  • The Peter Cushing film I mean

  • I was invited to a prosecco and painting event. I don’t have an artistic streak and probably best to stay away from the Prosecco! 
    I’ve watched all Call the midwives series - my husband hated them. Shakespeare and Hathaway is easy watching isn’t it, I might watch more of them.I’ve even started watching Eastenders, true escapism!

  • I’ve tried to go to sleep listening to audio books, the only problem with that is I fall asleep then the next night I realise I’ve missed a chapter or two whilst sleeping Frowning2️

  • I've struggled with concentrating on some TV but easily got addicted to this is us and the new dexter if you've seen the others
