TV is rarely on nowadays, I sometimes have a music channel playing in the background, that's about it I use I-player if I find I've missed something I did want to watch...
Broadcast TV not at all for years. I have both netflix and prime but everything new on them feels like Im being preached to and since they've also introduced adverts I don't bother much any more unless it's a comedy special or similar. I do have the radio on most of the time just to break the silence, it's far less intrusive than a TV.
Roast beef, yorkies that we bought ready made and won't again, green beans, swede and roast potatoes. Paul had an accident with the gravy ' apparently' so it was a bit dry.
Interesting question I had normally assumed my bent spears were as a result of beetle or slug damage. You are correct though that stones can bend the spears along with wind. I would be very careful about shifting soil around them at present. As I say I get some bent spears but I normally just cut them off and discard them. If you wish you can keep them for soup of course. I would be tempted to hold off for a couple of seasons to let the plants get well established and then consider stone removal if you are getting a lot of bent spears then. Good luck HH
You'll probably get the hang of how the Octopus website works given a bit of time GG. But yes, it's easy to miss emails saying that your supplier has been taken over if you aren't expectingi it.
