On 5 April, Netflix make available their latest natural history offering entitled 'Our Planet'
This will be an 8 part series presented by Sir David Attenborough (who else? ;) ) and uses the very...
On Monday I ordered an item on Amazon and as a special trial offer of 99p (£0.99) for 7 day Prime membership came up, I opted to accept it knowing that I would be placing more orders in the coming...

LLL, we also get shock stories of working conditions at Amazon. I believe they are hard taskmasters BUT if they don't like it, they don't HAVE to work there.
Their 'Logistics' is really just another...
I know that I have been critical in the past of how the smartphone seems to be taking over peoples lives, particularly the younger element among us. Since buying a 'decent' smartphone I am finding...

Don't intend to bang on about this techie stuff but I am finding that there are often hidden things that can be done. For instance; I mentioned that as I have difficulty reading small print I...
We have a spinster lady friend who, although having very good eyesight, listens to audio books from Amazon as a sleep inducer each evening.
A few weeks ago, for reasons I do not need to explain here,...

I get free books from Amazon often but I've never noticed FREE audible. Will have to keep an eye out.
Amazon.ca (Canada) is very poor. We don't half of what the US version offers hence the Canadian...
I have/had four quite robust orchids albeit non-flowering but still looking pretty good. Since I'm back orchid #3 has been turning yellow, two bottom leaves have fallen off and I think another one...

Ahh Gardenia ;) I've never tried growing one of those either. Too cold here and they've always seemed a delicate plant to grow.
I still do like camellias though. They seem very suited to grow here...
Nothing much going on in my world so; I had mentioned that we were planning a couple of days next month in the midlands, or Staffordshire to be precise. I will tell you about it after the event but I...

@Grandad - hope you have a grand time. Lots of photos too please. I m off to pottery today myself but want to assure I am NOT dancing about on one leg in the studio I go to! :P :P (Course I'm not...
I am very loyal to our BBC and do regard them as the best broadcaster in the world. Independent channels do have some excellent programs but the Ad breaks can be annoying. I know I can, and do,...

Interesting, I have Virgin and when I was doing a Catchup I found that I had Netflix. :up
Daughter and SiL invited us to join them yesterday for a trip to Minnis Bay on the North Kent Coast. It is only about a dozen miles and as the weather forecast was good, we gratefully accepted.

I have no personal experience with greyhounds either other than what I've heard that they do make good pets and typically tend to be couch potatoes.
Where are all the boys? I don't have anybody to chat with about camera stuff unless you girls have any comments.
The new series of 'Masterchef' started last evening and tonight sees the start of the...

Bigken, maybe you did not allow enough time for a full sat. lock to be achieved the first time. It can take a while first time out. That would prevent the auto take off and RTL from being possible....
Spring Flowers
Nice bright morning so I went along to the village to see what spring flowers are around. I switched on my tracker app which recorded total distance 1.48 miles so you will see that...

Can't say I've ever seen or even heard of that game but sounds like an interesting way to pass the time.
I have not been away from the house since Saturday and, although a bit cloudy this morning, I decided to take a ride into town on my trusty scooter. To give my outing some purpose I took my camera...

Your idea of looking UP was rather novel and interesting and I must say from your photos not lots has really changed. I tend to look straight on and what I see I dabble at, change up & out, fix,...
Well I'm just back from a lovely 4 night stay in the city of Krakow in Poland and what can I say, even with a good coating of snow it didn't hide the beauty of the place, in fact I would say it added...

What a great way to celebrate a birthday. It makes one give thanks to the fact that we still CAN have birthdays! It could have been so different if WW2 had gone the other way! :tk Many thanks for the...
I have expressed my views on the young peoples obsession with their mobile phones in the past. Our daughter and SiL are in their early fifties and both seem equally attached to their phones as the...
An unexpected Christmas gift from my daughter was a couple of packets of blank greetings cards and envelopes. I've never made cards but I think I'll try it.
While I was musing about what and how to...

@RS - I don't believe I have ever seen an automated knitting machine. The one my friend had (and I'm taking 30+ yrs ago) did not have a motor - it was big, really big as I recall and I believe she...
As I was the tortoise in the challenge last year I am going to re-awaken my two bulbs soon and see if I can keep up with you other 'Green Fingers' ;)
As an aside, I did say a couple of weeks ago...

My amaryllis' second flower stalk is now fully open and the 3rd flower stalk is about half way up the stem to flower yet again. I don't think I've ever had an amaryllis that has produced 3 flower...
I am tracking my #2 grandson and his girlfriend who are en route back to Heathrow from a two week holiday in Thailand. The tracker tells me that their aircraft is a Boeing 777-300ER which I could not...

What also never ceases to amaze me is that people get into super fast moving tubes that zoom and zip through the air at super sonic speeds! ;) Particularly in the good old days when airplane travel...

No hidden fortunes in my lineage that I've ever heard of. Maybe one day but so far to date - zip! ;) Always worth a dream though.
The taxi company we use have a fleet of Toyota Prius Hybrid cars and quite often when running on the battery we glide along almost silently.

With the Prius V it costs about $50 to fill the tank. Our gas is $1.40 - $1.46/litre right now. I get 45 - 50 miles to a gallon (tank is 10 gallons) as it is all augmented with the battery. That is...
