TV Rubbish

Ach, the horror of ailments - I now officially have gastro-enteritis - the labyrinthitis is linked with it, in other words another virus... I have felt bored all day - tried to edit TRF a bit but uninspired to improve it much, then tried to read, no concentration, dozed a bit, got woken up - stayed awake, v.v. bored, so I have turned on the TV - and found a slightly higher level Friday night offering - it's Sport Relief - on of those charity fundraising nights - weird items, interspersed with appeals.  Currently - underwater ball room dancing...

I have found it difficult to latch on to a book, but finally found Smollet's A Journey through France and Italy provides just the right level of stimulation and familiarity... it mentions the Boulogne lighthouse (the lost Roman one), for example.  Sometimes it's really hard to find a book to read.  Perhaps I have become a history buff without meaning too - it seems so much easier to read history sometimes than anything else.  

Underwater ballroom dancing is rather boring, slower than the regular kind... but probably of great interest to afficionados.
