Extended time off part two

 


Thursday 26 June 2025 - 

I woke up after less than four hours of sleep again. 

I wrote something for my blog, and did some editing for Toppermost of the Poppermost. 

We started rewatching Private Practice, obviously with season 1 episode 1. 

We watched the Tubi original film Blind Waters, about a couple who hire a yacht, only to be stranded in the ocean with a shark. 

We watched season 14 episode 6 of Not Going Out, entitled Hotel Room, which is the last episode of the present season. 

We watched the first three episodes of the classic British sitcom The Good Life, starring Richard Briers, Felicity Kendall, Paul Eddington, and Penelope Keith. 


Friday 27 June 2025 -

Woke up at 7am after a little under six hours of sleep. That’s better than I have had recently. 

We had breakfast while we watched an episode of Celebrity Gogglebox, which was followed by listening to Ken Bruce doing Popmaster on Greatest Hits Radio. The three in ten of Kylie Minogue was so simple (I Can’t Get You Out Of My Head, Spinning Around, I Should Be So Lucky, Slow, All The Lovers, Locomotion, and so many more). 

At about eleven I had a nap, because I suddenly found myself to be tired. 

More editing of Toppermost episodes. 

The most recent episode of Celebrity Gogglebox while we ate dinner, which was Louise’s homemade chana masala. 

I did some more editing on Toppermost. 


Went out to Tesco to buy something to help me with toilet problems - too much information, but I haven’t been for six days. I just hope that’s nothing to do with the, erm, inconsistencies of areas at the front that I’ve had for about the last year or so. Sorry, that’s a lot of information. 

At least it’s unlikely to be cancer, because I’d be dead by now, surely, right? 

We watched the film Love Blossoms on Prime Video. 

The Good Life season one episodes 4, 5 and 6.
