Whatchya watchin'?
 
In between typing drivel on here and Facebook and doing the washing up I'm watching Inspector Lewis.

And how are you wasting your evening?

snap Fled - in between FB and here and watching 'Hoarders - bured alive' which has made me think about going down into the basement and getting rid of 2 bin liners of clothes that have been sat there since I moved in here :rofl:

Only think about mind, this couch is comfy :thumbup:

I've been doing crafty stuff in front of the telly all afternoon, top telly on a Sunday afternoon, Mugambo was as good as it got:eek::rofl:

I've got Kenneth Branagh on now I think. No idea what it's going to be though as PBS hasn't given that info out yet.

Tidied the clothes :thumbup: (read - moved them from the basement to the kitchen ready to donate to charity) now watching colour splash on HGTV, which will likely stay on til I go to bed at whatever ungodly hour that is!

Damn was that a new one? I was too tired and had to go to bed, only to be kept awake by indigestion for hours:rolleyes::(

Got rid of the TV subscription two months ago. Cant say I miss it at all. Its quite liberating to be honest.

So much more time for other things now... able to play piano with both hands now!

This conjures up an image of you playing the piano with your right hand, and changing channels with the TV remote with the other.

We watched "Ray Mears' Northern Wilderness" - proper Sunday night TV.

It was interesting, but I'm afraid Ray Mears is just a bit too earnest for my liking. If I was given a choice of which TV outdoors guys to be stranded with, I think I'd choose to starve to death with the hapless Les Stroud and his harmonica, rather than listen to Ray Mears preaching while he was busy whittling us up a canoe.

I did the ironing to several old episodes of the "The West Wing' courtesy of my DVD player. There was **** all on tv as usual.

I can never understand who these programs are aimed at. Why would anyone be in the positions he describes?

Not the season we are having! You know, I taped a lot before, but I seldom actually sat down and watched it without fast forwarding through large chunks:o Life is too short.

It's all up from here. Can't judge five games when three have been against ManU, Man City and L'Arsenal.:thumbup:

We've just spent every evening this week catching up on both series of Being Human. Can't believe we missed out on this. Best British telly I've watched in ages.

It's just started on the Space Channel in Canada last week if anyone hasn't seen it.

The mere fact that man city are considered in the elite is depressing enough... The nature of footy has changed beyond recognition I think.

Thinking more along the lines of billionairs for championships and the absence of much local talent anymore. People no longer seem to automatically support the team nearest where they live. Anyway, too much thread drift I suspect. Dont watch it, dont miss it.

Yes, that was good. Only seen the first series so far. 'The House' was just around the corner from where I lived before coming to Canada. :)

My wife and kids lap up anything to do with Vampires, Werewolves etc but this was very different.:thumbup:

Thanks - yep - we loved it.

I know as soon as you mention vampires and werewolves there will be a collective groan, but I thought it was very funny, very intelligent and just bloody good acting. Can't wait to get hold of Series 3, whenever that comes out.

Who do you think you are? (Lisa Kudrow), then a bit of Criminal Minds - alongside steaming clothes - exciting eh?

One of my favourites, but I OD on it sometimes & end up with no sleep!
