I am house-sitting for mum and dad while they are away for a couple of days. Not a demanding job, it is just looking after the dogs and entertaining Jo. It is only a couple of days, yet I brought my Sony tablet and four books!
All this, and still my impulse last evening was to switch on the television… but as luck had it, I couldn’t work out the controls. And Jo never watches TV, so she couldn’t help. So after the feeling of mild frustration went away I resigned myself to an evening of reading. And ended up really enjoying the peace and quiet. And later, with Jo in her space and the dogs slumbering on the floor close by, I fell asleep on the lounge, which is normally how I end my evenings in front of the telly!
