At the moment Kendall is unwell. He doesn't really have the energy to want to read and we will not be going to the Gainsborough New Years Eve session as planned.

So I looked at the tv listings to see what was on that might entertain both of us this evening. I think that there is one film that MIGHT be worth watching but for the rest of it? No thanks. Over the past year, here and in the States, I've found that I am watching less and less tv. The quality seems to be dropping generally with so many repeats that, if you watched the programmes every time you could probably become word perfect.

In one episode of Star Trek (Next Gen) someone stated that tv had disappeared by about mid century 2000. At this rate that could be right.
