I downloaded A Bridge Too Far for £3.99 off some TV app, I now have 48hrs to watch it and I'm going to stick it on this afternoon.
I'm really looking forward to it - I did have it on DVD but we threw them all in the skip along with the DVD player when we moved
By coincidence, I'm currently reading Military Blunders by Saul David and just finished the section on Market Garden. The whole operation was based on wishful thinking and denial of evidence. Would laughable if it wasn't so tragic.

Recommended reading, by the way.
My god-father, RIP, was involved in that Op and has featured in a few books - Was D Troop 10 Section of the 1st Airborne Division Reconnaissance Squadron. Was shot during the drop and taken POW and sent to Stalag XIB
I'm off to the really big island soon. Remembering the passport is never a problem but this time I've actually packed a plug adapter, and not at the last minute.

That sound the sea makes as it ebbs over the pebbles. That has to be the single most relaxing noise I know. It's like the earth exhaling and chilling. It always stops me in my tracks and puts a smile on my boat race.

I know there are pebble beaches all over the place but that looks awfully like Herne Bay. Where is it really?
Selsey. Where the road through the town ends, by the car park. It was the tail end of a storm, shingle swept up all over the road. A couple of hours later, flat calm & fog!
The ease of loading my disability railcard onto a new device, and the ease of removing it from the old device. And even better, they are only going to reply to my email, not reach out to me.

Do you live in Selsey? A friend of mine moved there about 10 years ago and really likes the place. He works at Selsey Press.
Nope, weekend away.
I'd just had the Chiari diagnosis and was anticipating surgery later that year, so we took a few short breaks rather than plan, then have to cancel, a longer holiday.
That was Feb 2019. Surgery ended up being in Aug 2020 (after second and third opinions, then a fourth consultant did the op).
