Re: Older and disabled? How do you keep yourself entertained?

Re: Older and disabled? How do you keep yourself entertained?

That's a good point, quite a mix. Although I often forget about Radio 4 Extra on my smart speaker I have quite enjoyed some old science fiction there at times.

Re: Older and disabled? How do you keep yourself entertained?

Thanks. I remember growing up my Mum really liked the Afternoon Play on Radio 4 so maybe there is good content on Radio 4 or Radio 4 Extra for me.

Re: Coffee shops - do you prefer independents or chains?

In the couple of years since I discovered Yorkshire Gold, it's always been my favourite. I won't order tea when out in case it's just PG Tips or something. Twinings Assam, Clipper and Bewleys would...

Coffee shops - do you prefer independents or chains?

Re: Good Christmas shows/films on Netflix or Disney?

I haven't seen Love Actually, but it looks like the kind of thing I would enjoy. As examples of things I did enjoy, I liked The Holiday and also the seasonal parts of Bridget Jones's Diary.

Re: Do you like a cup of tea in the morning?

I alternate, sometimes I'll have a Yorkshire Gold tea first thing and sometimes I'll have a Tassimo Costa latte from the machine. Always in a mug though, never a glass.
