Met a tall man in a pub with old beams and low ceilings, because: irony. Discussed media consumption habits of the young and aging parents. Made a nice break from the merry go round of family obligation's. Cheers 'stretch. Enjoy your time in the old country, and your "honorary mother" title. Judging by how well behaved your son was, you deserve it. As its turned dark and chilly, time for a small indulgence in the form of a cuppa and a "shortie"

Local delicacies

Plankton ahoy!

Had lunch with Mother, Sister, Brother-in-law and (trying to be Vegan, because his girlfriend is) nephew. Good times, not the sort of thing you can do from 5000 miles away.

Just the one starter!

^ #firstworldproblems solved! Banish the misery of your children not knowing which particular track of "dad music" they are being subjected to, on the school run? N'est ce pas?

Signed up for trial in the UK 7 free days ... Not 30 it would appear ... Works for me Initial check shows hits for most of the obvious search terms, although some of the older / non mainstream artists don't have complete discography. Also looking at the albums, looks like they have been recently sourced - e.g latest reissues / remasters. Could be an issue if you want that album, with that DR. And the expected USD=GBP pricing. Welcome to rip-off Britain, although I expect 'stretch can stretch to it. Further research is indicated.

Discovered that HBOGO doesn't cross the pond Parts of Amazon prime are likewise geolocked Bits of Netflix are ok Spotify roams ... And no surprises with the BBC iPlayer

Back at my 81 year old mother's with a decent DSL WiFi ... (Finally) And she's not in cell blackspot either... Yay for mother's (everywhere)
