Losing track of days. in lock down!!

[Stockport.Blue]

I'm currently on week nine of being off on furlough, the days just seen to be filled with cleaning up after children and botching DIY jobs up that i've been putting off for years. On a more positive note I've enjoyed watching old episodes of LOTSW on UK gold. It's on right now infact.

Hope everyone is staying safe out there

Well, I don't lose track of days as every day is the same. The day after yesterday and the day before tomorrow!

Have I missed Easter

Easter? As far as I remember Terry it came at the usual time, Quarter past Christmas.

I guess somewhere there is a disconsolate huge Rabbit sat next to a mountain of out of date Chocolate Easter Eggs wondering why he wasn't allowed to deliver them just because he couldn't buy gloves and a face mask for love nor money.

Can Rudolph , Dancer and Prancer etc social distance and still pull the sleigh , will Mr Claus have to re-engineer their harness to to widen the gap between each Reindeer's individual harnesses. If they can't then all bets are off for any deliveries unless Santa decides to use Drones.

I remember Coditz,it had a great cast.
Earlier this week I mentioned in a thread about programmes from the seventies and eighties that made an impact on me and that remain memorable decades later.
I mentioned The life and loves of a she devil and A captain’s tale.
There is a third,there was a particular episode of Colditz and I think it was Donald Pleasance who was pretending to go mad,but he played the part of a mad man so intensely that he actually became mad,and the leader of the escape committee,I can’t remember his name but I can see his face,said that no one must ever try that again.
I don’t know why that had the impact on me that it did,those old programmes are just great and it’s why I watch Talking Pictures tv more than any other channel.
Oh and yes,I hate reality tv too,but it’s cheap tv so they keep making it.
