09:00 We start the day with a zoom call to our daughter Sarah, who lives in Perth, Australia, with husband Francis and their 9-year-old twins Lily and Jessica. It's nice for our 2 daughters to get together for a chat, and also for 4 of our 5 grandchildren to get to know each other better too.
we talk on zoom with Sarah, our daughter in Perth, Australia,
and with her 9-year-old twins Lily and Jessica.
10:30 We go for a walk on the common and see a train passing through, which is a bit of excitement!
Yes, surprisingly, Malvern has good connections!
19:00 After dinner we watch an old episode of the sitcom "The IT Crowd" from 2010, based on the adventures of a small IT-trouble-shooting team - Roy, Moss and their boss Jen - who work in the basement of the massive Denholm Industries Building in London.
You know, it's the one where Moss appears on Channel Four's daytime quiz "Countdown", and scores his usual 9 points with a word nobody's ever heard of. It's complete madness !!!!
Challenged to make as long a word as possible out of an apparently random string "TNETENNBA", Moss's opponent scores an impressive "6" with "TENANT".
Moss, however, trumps him with a "9", revealing that "TNETENNBA" is already a word - not only that, but Moss deftly goes on to illustrate its meaning with a line from a typical conversation!
He really is a marvel, that Moss !!!!!
We feel very good tonight, but at the same time a little exhausted, so it's a bit of a surprise when we do better than expected on the quizzes, scoring 4 out of 10 on Popmaster, and a heady 8 out of 10 on Eggheads, which is reassuring!
Zzzzzzzzz!!!!!
