Sitting there watching an episode of NCIS didn't last long. Not because the program wasn't worth watching because it actually was and interesting as well. Which didn't stop me from changing channel and turning to a channel where there were less interruptions because there were no adverts. Thanks to the BBC. Maybe one day the advertising funded channels will just completely get rid off all programs. Have nothing but adverts as though these are the only things which matter. What they don't understand is the public will just turn the television off. Which may even be a good thing. Then there would be time to read, talk, listen and above all not get soft in the head from glossy selling every five minutes. I'm coming to the conclusion now it not even worth watching certain channels. If a program is good, I'll catch it later on in some other way, but I'll not watch it with 50 adverts scattered throughout it.
Day 2 of the challenge has worked out fine. I more than satisfied the quest. Doing an hour plus of walking in the morning and then doing an 8 mile cycle ride with Monster Boy. We rode along a stretch of the river Thames, where the flood defence has so kindly provided a pathway. Riding by the Thames always takes longer to reach a destination than going by the road. Except going by road is a dangerous thing at times, especially if you have a little monster in tow, then you have to be mindful of cars all the time. It was good to get out and about.
I got a text from Sparkling. She had been on a girls night out, unfortunately something broke out with one of the girls, Sparkling ended up pinning the girl to the floor to stop her from getting into fisticuffs with another. Women in Scotland are sure made out of tougher stuff than the ordinary woman. I wonder if they put up with adverts as much as Londoners do? Probably not.
