Velvet, Talking Pictures is one of the best film channels on televison for older films. Although quite a lot of what they show is of litttle interest I always look at their schedule as it can have some really good things.
It's worth making a note of their schedule on their website (shows 3 weeks)

When the government published legislation they normally have explanatory notes as well. I was trying to find some background information on a clause in a 2003 finance act. It's fairly easy to find the legislation but not the explanatory notes.
So I thought of looking up the act on the Wiki pages. Although Wiki wouldn't have the details of the act (I wouldn't expect it to), they did have a link direct to the explanatory notes. So I've been able to find what I was looking for

I think what the person who came up with the phrase for Milton Keynes was trying to say was that they wanted to create a community where people didn't feel that everything was too crowded. It's not a word I've ever used.

The modern "Hawaii Five-0" series doesn't get much of a mention. It'a a watchable series. Some of the episodes are good, but some aren't. I watch them on the Pick channel as I'm on Freeview. They are currently on the 4th series. Last night was episode 10 called "Ho-onani Makuakane" (Honour Thy Father).
It's a very different type of episode from the normal one and is easily the best one made. More reflective and patriotic without being jingoistic, and devoid of the violence of some of the episodes and also devoid of the silly bickering between the two leads which can be a bit irritating at times.
That one episode is worth watching if you get a chance.
Good morning everyone, cloudy and cold. Have a great day with the littlies Yogi.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning I hope you all slept well. Happy tiddlers day yogi 
I wonder what you'll all get up to today
I've got the day off work, but I'm taking it easy today. I promised myself when bramble was spayed that I'll have a lazy day once every 3 months, so I'm attempting to stick to it

Thank you for the recommendation, I bet the scenery is gorgeous too
We received texts from the cycle shop in town offering half price gold service so we're up early and cycled in. It's a long walk back!
sunny crisp day - lovely!
Really?! 
goodness me!
Ive been for what was supposed to be a "short" walk, but in typical me style, I kept deciding to add on "just that bit". The fresh air did me good and now Bramble is fast asleep on my legs and I can relax
Great stuff joe
Summer, yes, my spaghetti hoops post is real, it's on my local news website and on the Cotswold Police twitter page, so it's not "fake" news. I'm glad your walk and the fresh air has done you good
GJ, that sounds a good bargain Do you have to walk back to collect the bikes when they've been serviced?
I watched A Holiday Affair this afternoon, it was charming thanks for the recommendation El
I'm going to have an early night, sweet dreams everyone
night yogi summer velvet and everybody
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Blue sky and frosty here.
Summer, I'm glad you liked A Holiday Affair
I hope everyone has a food day
Typo?
Good morning everyone.
Weather is damp and grey ATM.
Waiting in for a delivery this morning, then grocery shopping.
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, a bright clear morning but extremely cold. I seem to be running a wildlife haven, it's almost impossible to set foot in the garden without seeing pheasants now.
I hope your delivery comes soon Yogi and your grocery shopping goes well. I seem to remember seeing that film a while ago, it was good and it was interesting seeing Robert Mitchum being less wooden than he was in later years.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning squiggle I'm picturing you like snow white, surrounded by animals I hope the pheasants do your laundry
robert Mitchum reminded me of James Stewart, I liked his character in Holiday affair.
I'm in one of my enthusiastic moods today.
We went for an early bike ride. I've been to B&Q for paint. I went to the railway station for my London tickets but the machine wasn't paying out. Then shopping at Morrisons and Lidl. Currently waiting at the car wash.
I'm very hungry!
I'm happy that they are just calming down seeing me bustling about the house Summer. They have every reason to panic because most people round here would shoot them and have them for dinner. I love to feel that the birds feel safe here. Driving home this morning the sun felt very warm almost hot through the car window and quite blinding, I kept having to pull the sun visor down, lovely for January.
I've just returned from a memorial service at church for someone who for many years was a family friend of the vicar (here from 1979 to 2002) and his family and was a major person in the life of the church.
This was read out at the service as a tribute to her. Today is her birthday. She was also a descendant of the poet and of course it's also Burns Night.
by Robert Burns
| My love is like a red, red rose |
| Thatâs newly sprung in June : |
| My love is like the melody |
| Thatâs sweetly played in tune. |
| As fair art thou, my bonnie lass, |
| So deep in love am I : |
| And I will love thee still, my dear, |
| Till aâ the seas gang dry. |
| Till aâ the seas gang dry, my dear, |
| And the rocks melt wiâ the sun : |
| And I will love thee still, my dear, |
| While the sands oâ life shall run. |
| And fare thee weel, my only love, |
| And fare thee weel a while ! |
| And I will come again, my love, |
| Thouâ it were ten thousand mile. |
That's beautiful El, thanks for sharing I think those who find that kind of love are very lucky indeed
the sun came out here too Squiggle, and a very welcome sight it is too in January.
I hope youve all had a good day, Happy burns night!
I've been feeling unwell with sinus trouble & a mild cold these last couple of days, but am feeling so much better tonight
Evening all. Happy Burns Night everyone.
Squiggle, you are so lucky to be surrounded by such great wildlife.
El, thank you for posting a Red, Red Rose, and it was a lovely tribute to your friend.
Summer, I once did a meditation exercise where you had to imagine a truly happy place, and mine resembled a scene from Snow White, with fawns and birds and other wildlife.
I'm glad you are feeling better tonight.
Joe, I'm glad you had a good day.
That sounds blissful yogi mines always been a beach, but really it should be a very green & colourful garden.
That reminds me- I keep forgetting to tell you all that I think there's a mutant mole invasion going on in a local park! I've never seen such big mole hills, I'm convinced they have superpowers!

We went to Asda today to do the grocery shopping. Tonight I get a text from Asda to say my new glasses are ready for collection. Why couldn't they have text me this afternoon when I was in the store?
