There’s one evergreen Christmas custom in the Scott-Brennan household that gets rolled out every year – thumbing through the Radio Times for festive televisual treats. Liam likes nothing more than ringing his must-sees with a red felt-tip pen. It’s a quaintly old-fashioned ritual in today’s online, on-demand era. The magazine, first published in 1923, has a loyal but ageing following. I wonder how long it will be before both go the way of the dodo. The advertisers know this too, judging by the loose leaflets that drop from the magazine pages – funeral plans, will writing services, equity release schemes and special furniture for special needs. It’s enough to make me think I’ve already got one foot in the grave. On the other hand, those rise and recline chairs do look comfy.

Yes, that’s the micro-loft. It’s so small, visitors have to queue to get in 😀

I’ve obviously recently crossed an age thresh hold as my inbox is full of adverts for Tena Lady incontinence pads – Ah the glamour!

They’ve brought out Tena Men now. You see them advertised in pub toilets!

Your micro loft is very neat. 🙂 I hope they don’t put the radio times in mothballs–gotta keep some traditions alive, eh?
