   We played her belly rub game. She rolls over to show me her belly. Then I rub her belly, which quickly escalates into her lightly biting my hand. Not so hard that it hurts though. And she’ll roll her head around and bat at me with her hind legs. Gracie’s belly rubs are just straight up belly rubs. She’ll take a hold of my arm and hold it in place until she’s had enough. Then you stop, or she will bite. LOL

   Yeah, Freevee has the classic Dr Who episodes. I just wish there were more episodes from the Patrick Troughton era. His approach was very much like that of Matt Smith. But, in their infinite wisdom, BBC wiped most of those episodes. I’m also told they wiped their coverage of the moon landing. LOL

   It is amazing.

   This is another good idea to save a bit. I sometimes do online surveys that pay in amazon bucks. But most movies and shows I buy I get the digital version now. And don’t rule out the many free streaming channels that show some good stuff. Downside there is they tend to go to commercial at strange times, even mid sentence. LOL

   Disney/Hulu have bundles, with ads, as low as about $10 a month. I get that, with espn, also disney owned, for $20 a month, but that is with no ads on the Hulu and Disney items. I have cut costs elsewhere to be able to afford that and a few others. Most of what I watch is there or basic cable. Or in my case Hulu live, which saves you those ridiculous broadcast fees. And calling spectrum every few years and threatening to leave if you don’t get a new deal saves a lot as well. People shouldn’t have to do that to get a fair price, but we do.

   I love that one as well. Ardal O’Hanlon is a genius comedy actor. I loved him in Father Ted, another show we got courtesy of PBS. Not to mention Zoe Wanamaker, she played the Lady Cassandra in End of the world and New Earth. Not to mention countless other brilliant roles. My Family is another one she absolutely rips up. And so many others.

   Me too Carrie Mulligan is just one of the huge stars to get a launch on Dr. Who. Mudbound is an amazing story with two wonderful female actors who just nailed it. I’ve never seen her un anything where she wasn’t fantastic though.

   We had one HUGE crash of lightning and Gracie was gone. Power went out right after that for about 6 hours? The moment it came back she came flying onto the bed to curl up. We had a lot of rain too. Enough that some came under the basement door. No damage there. Just a wet floor for a few hours. I have a reading light. The kind you can clip to a book. I keep it clipped to my computer to see the keyboard better in the dark. I like dark because of migraines. It paid for itself last night. It has a battery that holds a very nice charge when plugged in to a usb port, ie the computer. That and my new unlimited (but limited) mobile service saved the day, or night. Internet went out, so no tv. But I was able to listen to hockey thru the NHL app on my phone. I prefer the radio guys over the national TV guys anyway. The Colorado teams guy is hilarious. Such a curmudgeon. LOL Imagine Elvis as a play by play character. And, as I learned last night, weather alerts come thru the phone but don’t always get displayed on certain TV stations. That’s when I got the serious bucket of water moment when the computer woman said tornado warning in your area. So me and Sara hunkered down in the hallway until they called it off. About 15 minutes. She really is the sweetest creature on earth.

    PBS brought us such wonderful classics from BBC and beyond. But there’s more money in streaming I guess.
