    Put up an antenna to get the local digital channels today and it worked quite well, so "cut the cord" today, as so many people are doing... which is not quite accurate, considering it was satellite TV... :smiley: but got rid of it, thereby saving the equivalent of two mortgage payments a year for TV service. With the antenna, we get a few local stations for local news, and a number of PBS stations.
    Love y'all,

    That's pretty much all we've had for the last decade. It's actually a bit overwhelming when we go to North America and stay in a hotel!

    Usually, one or two evenings a week there's nothing interesting on our limited number of channels, so we either just turn it off and listen to music, or if it is early in the evening, we might pop in a DVD.

    I've got the whole series of Phyrne Fisher, half the series of Dr Blake, most of West Wing, a season of Dad's Army, a season of Fraser, and a small collection of movies on DVD.

    All that is enough to keep us entertained. :)

    Lanette ~ I am rethinking the gym. I went twice last week and walked on the treadmill and used the elliptical (barely). My knees were aching all weekend and I have started icing them good. I get so out of breath and weak feeling that I think when I go back to my internist I am going to ask for a stress test. I am doing the recommended exercises at home for my knees.

    That sounds like a good idea ... I hope you're going back to your internist soon!

    I am in that stage too - where I can barely use the gym. It barely makes sense to go if I can only do half a mile on the treadmill. I don't know where to draw the line.

    Carol     - good idea getting your ticker checked out! <3

    Are you able to walk around your neighborhood at your own pace?

    A drawback I've seen with the gym is that it tends to make some us overdo it and be more prone to injury, especially if we're new at it. So I let the kids on the treadmills beside me chug along, sweat dripping, max incline. I "mosy" and get my 20 or 30 minutes in.

    Good luck. Hope your "other knee" isn't complaining too badly today! <3

    Here's to the start of a new week! Planning on getting back into the habit of getting to the gym and walking the dog. I was doing so well, then had some family stresses get in the way.

    Meg: Congrats on your wonderful dinner with friends! :bigsmile:

    Sue in TX: Happy 80th! Love the photos! You are absolutely gorgeous. :heart:

    BigDaddy: It is great to see a man so proud of his wife. WTG!!!

    Rita: I hope you’re feeling better. :flowerforyou:

    Viv: I’m glad your mum was okay. Hearing exam seems like a very good idea for her. :flowerforyou:

    Lanette: We get nearly all our produce at the grocery store, but this time of year the farm stores on Sauvie Island are open and I love to go there. :smiley:

    Kelly: Happy Anniversary!!! :heart:

    Carol: I am in full agreement with you about heat. Warm is fine, but roasting is not. :noway: I like the 80’s F just fine, but after the thermometer hits 90F I’m ready to hide inside with the benefit of an air conditioner. :star:
    I think medical advice about the gym is an excellent idea. Does your gym have recumbent electronic bikes? I use the ones at my gym all the time, and I get plenty of exercise without putting too much weight on my knees. I can set the difficulty and choose my length of time. The ones at the gum has an adjustable, comfortable seat with a back.


    We are home from the county park and had a quiet and pleasant week there. I didn’t have the ability to post here due to the lack of internet connectivity in the park. Trying to do that on my phone is beyond my skill/patience. I logged every bite and swallow on my phone and it was all recorded with MFP. This is our second year at this particular county park and I think I’d like to go to a different place next year and try something new. I logged every bite and swallow on my phone, so I haven’t broken my “streak.”

    My son got home finally much later than he said. I had fed the older ones with toast! :D
    My bright idea was to go to the fish and chip shop and buy two large cod. I had a small sample of chips to eat while they were cooking it. I took the fish home on the bus and ate mine straightaway. For DH I put some oven chips on and warmed up the fish in the oven. He got home and it all worked out fine. The only criticism he made was that he has had two days without veggies! Well, I was intending a curry with spinach and peas. ;)
    Pleased to have been of help. <3
    I dropped a card in to next door thanking her for the lift to the school.
    Tomorrow I will be getting ready for visitors on Wednesday. Last day of cricket. :*

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx
