Television - the drug of a nation

I haven't enjoyed TV much recently - I am sick of seeing semi-crap movies on Sky and Japanese TV is okay for about 20 minutes but not much more. I think I find most TV boring (even at home in NZ) unless I have something to do at the same time, e.g. mark students' work or sew or something.

So, when I asked my sister, Martha (sometimes known as Wanda) what she watches and how, she gave me three great programmes to try and suggested I download them or watch them on YouTube.

I always follow my sister's excellent advice and it just so happened that the day I decided to start watching Project Runway, season 5, I also bought a very cheesy patchwork kit (Halloween theme) to help while away the hours. 48 hours later and I had watched all 14 episodes and completed sewing that would normally take a few weeks.

My eyes were sore and my fingers much more nimble...and I felt truly satisfied, both entertainment and craft-wise.
