Good afternoon.

So far the predicted thunderstorms haven't appeared and it is sunny and 21°F.

We had a lovely church service this morning then went to the garden centre for some summer plants.

Pauline is busy planting them now.

A puzzle - what is funny about the chap who won 'Britain's Got Talent?  Just seen him for the first time on BBC Breakfast, and I couldn't raise a smile.  Have I lost my sense of humour?

 

Some rain last evening, but not enough yet, here in Lincs.

No, you haven't lost your sense of humour. I saw him too, not funny at all unless you're under 10. I looked online to see the rest, and I was astounded by the quality of the other finalists. Utterly bemused.

We've had plenty of rain in the past 2 days and more heavy rain forecast for tomorrow. I'll try and arrange a delivery⛈️

Another 2 puzzles. What is Britain's got talent and who eats BBC breakfast ?.🤔

[lincslady]

I agree about the first, zapp.  Never watched it; promos on ITV more than enough.  I admit to usually having the TV on in the kitchen while I have my yogurt etc., partly as a bit of company as I am on my own.

I try and avoid all the breakfast "news" programmes.  Same old reporters interviewing the same old faces and them asking the specialist " correspondent " what they thought the interviewee should have said...CBBC is a bit more grown up...IMVHO.🤣

Radio 4 Today programme. Still the only possible breakfast accompaniment.

It’s still one of only two or three serious papers out there. But for balance I read the Telegraph and the Spectator. Good to see all sides of a discussion.

Does The Times count as a serious paper?  I do hope so, I get it every morning a 6 a.m., through the postbox  the old fashioned way.  Not everyone's choice, I am sure.

It does in my book (despite its ownership) and it's my absolute favourite for (usually) unbiased and comprehensive news coverage. Also the only paper with proper legal coverage.

 

I remember when the front page was all small ads, no news at all, back in the 60s. Seems incredible now.  I like the paper copies, but I'm afraid the cost difference switched me to a digital subscription. Likewise the Telegraph, but I'd struggle to call that a serious paper these days.

I take the Metro myself.In the foyer of Hornchurch tube cos it's free.

I was brought up on what was then the Manchester Guardian (my father voted Liberal) and it was a good paper then.  I find the Telegraph too much living up to it's nickname of Torygraph, although it is a nice read.  The cost of having a daily paper is dreadful, I know, but it is about my only real extravagance, and having a village paperman who delivers in time for me to have a read in bed with my morning tea is excellent.
