Wonderful Television

I often have the telly on for company. Any one else like this?

I'm always doing something else like cooking, surfing, farming, looking at last minute holidays and dreaming etc etc.

It's not often that a programme stops me from my multi tasking :-3 but this evening it was a documentary on BBC2 about fostering of all things. Very good programme, I wept through three quarters of it as I watched Amy who so want to fit somewhere and be part of a family that wanted her there and didn't send her off at the first sign of bad behaviour.

Very moving. I hope she stays settled now.

I do like teenagers, although my own daughter just turned 13 the other week and she may well be doing a good job at making that a 'dis-like' :wah:

Maybe I ought to foster, maybe forcing her to share her room may make her realise how lucky she actually is

Yes I am very much like that, tellies on but as a back drop, never do farming though ?

My current must see program 'An Hour to save your life', opening an injured cyclist's chest for heart massage as a last resort on a London street, amazing stuff.

I've got the 'an hour to save your life' on now, not sure I will watch it all the way through, too close to home with the mention of a 10 week early baby.

I can do that too with my Sagem.

I only half watched, spent a lot of the time hiding behind the laptop screen. Too much detail at the other end of caesarian sections (been through two) don't want to see it all thanks! Two hit home for me, the ten week early one and the one with the dropping heart rate, that's why I was rushed in for the second emergency c-section four years ago.

SCBU's are wonderful units, it was interesting to see what things have changed since my eldest spent five weeks in one nearly 18 years ago. But still too close to home to view avidly.

These programs must be themed, if the one you watched surrounds childbirth, I still haven't seen it. The previous one included two road accidents.

I am a sucker for these sort of programs with 24 hours in AE programmed to record. It always amazes me the care given and the characters involved.
