I didn't know D&P was also a TV series. I won't bother to look for it because it'll be on a channel we don't get, and I don't have the patience to watch TV anymore. The commercials piss me off. I have to really, REALLY want to watch a show to put up with commercials.

For the news, I'll catch the headlines and I want to see the weather report. Other than that, the world can happen without me.

An overload of commercials pisses me off too.

On the Dutch national TV we only have commercials before/after the broadcast.
For € 4 a month, we can watch old BBC series and postponed national TV without commercials.

I pay more, about € 9 a month to watch many more broadcasters like Belgium and BBC-NL too. Its possible to postpone watching without commercials, except for some of the commercial programs.

We watch Youtube music sometimes until I have seen enough advertising.

Three hours today. warm at 24C, still dry with bursts of sunshine.
I should have finished off the front fence this afternoon but got chatting to someone at the field.
My eldest and husband are cycling around Cornwall and they've sent me pictures of the sea. I need to go and sit by the sea for a while.

Me, Sylph and Mow discussing roosters.

I need to go and sit by the sea for a while.

There is something peaceful about sitting by the sea.

Sitting out here in the dark, after listening to the girls put themselves to bed, and suddenly at least two, maybe three lightning bugs flash!

At the end of August; that’s crazy.

Two and a half hours. Warm, dry with a stiff breeze.

A cool spot on my plot. I water the courgette plants nightly along with the bushes I intend to transplant later this year and this helps keep some areas a bit cooler during the next day.

Gorgeous pic coming through the grasses and wild flowers. I also love the one where they are facing each other...lots of captions would work for that one!

These folk are in Lincs but seem to be willing and able to sort transport all over the place if needed (they had replies to this post from people in west Wales and Norfolk, and told them to get in touch to arrange something). Same group that have now caught the M1 cockerel after several nights staying in a hotel so they could go and search along the motorway from the crack of dawn. No bother if this isn't helpful, just thought I'd mention it.

Nice-looking boys; any idea what breed(-ish) they might be?
