TVlessness

Some of the things that not watching telly has allowed me to do:

• I cleared a path between the doorway and my sewing machine in the sewing room
• I packed away all my spinning fibre that has been laying around merely for the purpose of admiration
• I packed a small box of books for the Lifeline book fair (that was hard)
• I caught up on my friends’ reading on Goodreads
• I spent a lot of time fiddling with knitting machines
• I listened to lots of very entertaining and informative radio (I learned that seahorses are fish with prehensile tails, thanks Norman)
• I read newspapers – real ones

BUT

 

I miss watching the telly.  Sometimes I really do want to sit down with a glass of wine and enjoy Stephen Fry and QI.  Sometimes I want to plan a Jane Austen marathon.  And I want to knit.  I am so used to knitting while I watch the TV, that my knitting has suffered in the short time that I've been TVless.  Although, I did manage to finish off some crazy stripey socks for ma minette - Patonyle fake fairisle overdyed with Koolaid.

But the long and the short of it is... I now have a telly.
