Being a big Jane Austen fan, I read the book when it first came out - good storyline but did not like P D James style, so I wasn't sure about the tv mini series especially after seeing the trailers....
Just watching this on BBC 4 about a seemingly very nice lady called Shani Rhys James. The majority of her painting involves looking at herself in a hand mirror then painting her face on a large...
Never been a fan of Christine Bleakley (especially when she sat alongside the annoying Adrian Childs) but really enjoyed Off the Beaten Track last night (ITV 8.00pm) Mr Q and I thought she came across...
Very sorry to hear about the sad death of Felix Dexter, actor and comedian. I used to love The Real McCoy tv series in the early 90's especially his character Nathaniel the accountant. He's been in so...
Seeing as the tv was rubbish yesterday afternoon, Mr Q and I watched the first (and for us, the last) episode of the new BBC series Truckers. We were not impressed at all. Mr Q used to be a lorry...
I used to be a fan of Chris' morning show but haven't tuned in for many months, switched on on Friday and found he'd really gone off. I think I stopped listening to his show because he would not shut...

Last Thursday I suddenly developed pain in my lower back - used ibuprofen rub but to no effect. I went to the doctors Friday and it is as Mr Q suspected sciatica/trapped nerve - never had this before...
Mr Q & I have just caught up with this great new series, a six parter around the time Montalbano first became an Inspector. Very easy on the eye - infact much easier than the old Montalbano!!!...
Watched Nigel last night totally ruining Vivaldi's Four Seasons - unfortunately Mr Q seemed to be quite enjoying it so I was stuck with it for an hour and a half!!!
Roly the tortoise seems to be off his food for the past couple of days. He usually enjoys his food outside in the sun but for some reason he doesn't eat much at all. It's only the end of August, so a...
