As someone who has been on various rooves here and there, and attached TV and Radio antennae, I&#8217;m just downloading the entry requirements for this one.<\/p>\n<p>But to be serious for a moment, I am very impressed with the athletecism of every Olympic competitor. They are all worthy warriors.<\/p>\n<p>To make life in this house even more interesting, I have contracted a cold. Fantastic. However I have had one meal today (Sam&#8217;s very tasty stew &amp; dumplings). We await what my bottom has to say about this with great interest. Also tomorrow morning&#8217;s weigh-in will be keenly watched.<\/p>\n<p>Now that the TV series is no longer confined to the Network of Shame (aka Sky), we have started watching *whispers* Game of Thrones. A bit late to the party, I know, but I will not put any money in the Dirty Digger&#8217;s pocket.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a bit of a beast, this GoT. I have my heroes, I have my villains, but I&#8217;m not sure if my lists would correspond with those of viewers who are bang up to date.<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of swears. And quite a bit of shagging about. And a lot of breasts. And a touch of incest. And a hint of lesbianism. I&#8217;m cool with all of those things because, you know, I was born in the Welsh valleys (hahahahahaaaa, joking!). There&#8217;s also a lot of blood. Limbs, heads, things like that.&nbsp;We have just finished E3, but we&#8217;ll stick with it to the end of the season before making big decisions.<\/p>\n<p>We have also started watching The Detectorists. Also early days, but no shagging about, no breasts, and no incest or lesbianism. I&#8217;m impressed with the lack of these things, given that the programme is set in Essex.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really need to be better organised and get on top of these earlier in the day.
