2020-11-15A way to pass the time
As a 76 year old grandmother, I never felt the need to learn all of the new and fancy technologies. I would occasionally use my daughter's facebook to check up on friends and family but that was about it. Most of my time was spent visiting with friends or working at the local Church. This all came to an end with COVID obviously, and especially since myself and my friends are considered very high risk. My grandsons showed me a way to watch all my favorite movies and shows on my laptop. This has been an excellent way to pass the time, as well as a new way to connect with my grandsons during this trying time. -
2020-10-09Broadway Shutdown extended through May 2021

2020-09-28Carrot in a box
During Lockdown in the search for routine and some sort of normality, usually my weekdays finish with ABC News at 7pm followed by 8 out of 10 Cats does Countdown at 7:30. Being a news snob I have always watched ABC, but recently 8 out of 10 Cats has become a new daily routine that provides regular humour relief from a bleak day inside. Hosted by Jimmy Carr and filled with stupidity as well as 'play-at-home' Countdown gameshow rounds, I have really fallen in love with it. The show is reliable, positive and immature, three things that are hard to come by at the moment. Further to that a pipe dream of mine is to one day live in the UK, and with borders closing until the end of 2021 that feels like a very long pipe, but getting to watch it even now makes me feel like maybe I'll watch it with a cup of tea in London somewhere. This particular clip was one of the funnier things I've ever seen on TV, let alone on this show, and made a mediocre night watching TV a conversational piece about a carrot in a box. -
