  1. Just booked 11 nights Cyprus (Nissi Beach) for the end of May half term, at our favourite hotel (Olympic Lagoon). I'm not making the same mistake as last year and going in August - waaaay too hot!. Also have bought a new tent this year, after the previous one was damaged by getting covered in tree sap last spring - so will be doing a few camping long weekends in the UK from June-September.
  2. Heat death of the universe. Probably just before Derby are due to be promoted.
  3. While I 100% agree with that, I know of 2 people in my circle of acqaintances who are currently "playing the mental health card" to get out of working. One of them even said, with a big smile, that metal health is becoming the new "bad back". Sadly there will always be the few, who will end up making it harder for the many. It's not wrong for those playing the game to be called out on it.
  4. In the bin. Hate them. Even opening a tin for Miss Wolfie makes me gag
  5. I use the Kindle app on my phone & iPad, though almost always use my ipad to read, in bed, with black screen and white text, to keep the light pollution down. For some reason, you have to buy books through the Amazon website, via your browser (and then they automatically appear on the app, in the library section). You can't buy books from the Amazon app - I've never understood why this isn't possible.
  6. I can appreciate any kind of art where some proper technical ability and skill is used. Last time I went to the Tate modern I was disappointed that there was so many examples of stuff my then 7 year old could have done - splashing paint around and random placing of bricks etc. I enjoyed going to the previous sculpture exhibitions in Chatsworth Park. Some proper skill & inspiration there, with materials used and messaging.
  7. Has he been eating all the Pi ?
  8. No business plan next season. Spend. Spend. Spend!
  9. While I'm highly sceptical about the topic, I found this article about recent Bitcoin rises both interesting and bizarre (energy to run Bitcoin now equal to that of The Netherlands): https://inews.co.uk/opinion/bitcoin-speculation-is-back-and-as-risky-as-ever-2954962
  10. Anyway, isn't it "Telly"?. Tele is putting my teeth on edge. As you were......
  11. Derby 2-0 Reading FRGS: Gayle
  12. Bristol Rovers 1-2 Derby Sibley FRGS
  13. We've recently watched them all and enjoyed it on the whole. Personally I preferred it when they were shorter stories, rather than one plot over the whole series. Sometimes the tiny band of police breaking up international trafficking and terrorism streched credibility a bit far, for me. Still a solid 7/10 though. A lighter detective series we've been enjoying (and also just finished) is Brokenwood (UKTV Play). A bit like Midsomer in New Zealand but I like the fact they have a lot of characters who turn up in most episodes & feel this adds a bit of warmth and means there's more character development outside of the 2/3 detectives.
  14. We finished it last night too. Mrs Wolfie had something in her eye at the end but I felt strangely un-moved by the ending. I can only put it down to what I said last week about struggling with their friendship being believable at the start. I therefore missed out on the emotional punch that she felt. 6/10 from me. Probably an 8 from the good lady her indoors.
