They repeated a couple of episodes last year, for a good reason, but which I cannot remember. They both had Janet Brown, and I'd love to hear some of June Whitfield's work.

I walked through the churchyard of St Nicholas on Thursday. And had a pastry with my drink, rather than cake. But no visit to the Evening Star (I was home shortly after 1pm).

And, there you go. Acorn? Now, I am aware of Netflix and of Apple TV. I think there's a Roku? But I don't subscribe to any of them. This is not my area of expertise!

I applied for tickets on both days (ages ago), but only received them for Sunday. I didn't mind, and would have been happy with either, let alone both. We were in the West stand, about level with the try line. But they ran all their tries in down the other side!

We were watching women run around at the Amex. It was good fun. Not been to Ikea yet, although a friend has been four times. Don't think it's been open four weeks yet.
