13. What's a popular vacation spot you have no interest whatsoever in visiting?

Australia. I know it's a beautiful country with many natural wonders, but all I think about are the giant and/or poisonous spiders its home to and I know I will never voluntarily go there.

12. What is your favorite place in your home?

By my desk. I feel more capable there.

I subscribed to ITV hub via Amazon because it had a number of series I wanted to watch. As it turns out, the subscription is a bit hit and miss. You click on a season only to find half the eps aren't available. You go back the next day and find the ep you were halfway through isn't available any more.

There's a lot of 70s/80s stuff (yay), but far more reality series than I thought even existed. I'm not a fan.

I think I'll watch what I can and then cancel it.

On the plus side, seasons 3 and 4 of The Professionals are now available to buy on Amazon Video. I wonder when seasons 1, 2, and 5 will follow.

Another plus, I managed to catch Ken Colley's ep of Poirot (The Disappearance of Mr. Davenheim) before that, too, disappeared. The ending was very obvious but Ken Colley acted his socks off, so I enjoyed it. He also got to wear a big fake beard.

Yesterday's Google Doodle was to honour the birthday of Sir Nicholas Winton, hero of the Czech Kindertransport.

Today's is for the birthday of Israel Kamakawiwoʻole, aka Bruddah Iz. If you haven't heard him sing, go listen. He has the gentlest of voices.
