Brown Owl has published a pamphlet of Useful Sayings to catch the Village Hall Coffee Morning Market. It is full of timely advice for those trudging along The Road to Self-Improvement.
Unfortunately, despite my regular New Year resolutions to evolve into a fine upstanding villager, I have noticed that far from being healthy, wealthy and wise this morning, I am in fact, barely functioning.
Barely functioning
As you may imagine, I am determined to pinpoint exactly how I got myself into this sorry state &
- learn from it
- get a grip for the future.
Where I went Wrong:
Last night, I didn’t go to bed early. In fact, I didn’t go to bed at all. After supper, the Agent went to bed and I decided to watch the first episode of ‘The Crown’ on Netflix. Be warned! Newly wise after the event, I now know I made not just one but two bad errors of judgement.
Mistake #1. I signed up to Netflix
Mistake #2. by snuggling up on a bean bag with lots of cushions under a rug, I made myself too warm and cosy.
Having enjoyed Episode 1 very much, I thought I’d quickly watch Episode 2:
& Episodes 3, 4, 5…
& Episodes 7, 8…..
& Episodes 9, 10 …
…ZZZ zzzz zzz zz
Yours vowing never to binge watch Netflix again,

Hi Miss Liberty! Or should I say “Good day Miss Hen!”? I don’t know how you did all of them in one night. I’ve two left to go to get through season 2 and the most I binged was 3 in an evening. Loving this series! How long until Season 3 I shall research. Just thinking about you and thought I’d pop in here. Hugs from across the ocean!
Hi Julie, how lovely you are to pop in and I’m so glad you have and thank you for your hugs which I’m returning from Castle Coop! I’m currently watching Season 2 as well – just seen the one in which the Queen kicks the Duke of Windsor into touch for his dubious political leanings during WW2. I don’t know when they’re filming season 3 – as far as I know, they haven’t finished casting yet. Happy 2018!
Your drawings are so cool! I have a rule that I never start watching netflix after 9:30 on weekdays. Ah!
Hi Becca, I’m glad you like my pictures! What an extremely wise rule – I shall adopt it immediately.
Curiously there is an article in our local paper this morning on the joys of “snail watching” – stockpiling up episodes of some series to watch during the dark days when it is taken off the air.
The Awesome Hen must be #internationallytrendingnow.
