We have Prime because Mrs P gets good value from the "free"delivery. Yesterday's delivery weighed 12.5kg, Lord knows what the charge would have been.
Whenever we look for something to watch on Prime our choice has a charge of around £10-15. We won't pay this and feel Prime in terms of TV, films etc. is a con trick as there's never something Amazon don't try to charge. I wouldn't buy it for TV but good value for delivery.

Right then. Good morning. I've spent too long browsing already today. It's going to be beautiful so I'll enjoy most of the day. Bikes to clean, car to wash, potatoes to plant, all stuff I'm happy to do.
Myself and a buddy should be 2½ hours into the Fred by now. It would have been a fabulous day for the ride. I pulled out because mentally and physically I wasn't in the right place. Injury has forced him out. Felt a touch disappointed at 6.00, the start time, but I know it was the right choice.
So a good day ahead except we had a 12.5kg parcel delivered yesterday. Sounds exciting. A nice big parcel from Amazon. Yeah! All that glitters is not gold........guess what I'm doing next

When we had some ‘major landscaping’ done a few years ago, the fellas uses that kind of resin compound (not sure of the brand). It did look very easy, but easier (as the video shows) with 2 people. Has lasted will too 👍
I might have a small patio project later in June that will need some of that stuff. Do pop back with any hints’n’tips!

Morning. A pleasant morning so I got myself out for an early 29 miles. I do enjoy a Sunday morning. It's really the only peaceful day on the roads now.
We have another Grace to watch tonight

The sun is shining and it's going to be a nice day.

If it were to stop shining, it'd be total darkness after eight minutes.The sun is shining and it's going to be a nice day.
And then the mad scramble for the light switches would begin.

I watch things on Prime nearly every night, and have done for 14 months. I have only paid to watch 1 film in that time, as a treat when I had guests. That cost about £3.
The latest Bond movie was £10+ when it first came out but is free now. Just be patient! (Or in the case of Bond - don't bother!
) I was easily getting my money's worth out of it just from the TV viewing. Now that I am buying several products a month as well... Bargain!

The only reason we have Prime is purely for the next day free delivery. I very rarely watch Prime TV and cancelled Netflix a long time ago too.
To be fair, I am not much of a film watcher so don't need them.
Apart from normal TV, I watch a lot on Youtube in the evening, mostly Vanlife , GCN and other cycling related Youtubers.
Good afternoon all.
We had a grand day put yesterday in Hastings. We haven't been there for about 25 years. Apart from some new buildings towards the old town it hasn't changed that much.
We took advantage of the Great British Railway ticket sale. We went from Victoria, not the direct route, but it cost us £8.50 in total for two returns. It was a long day, we set off at 7.30am for the 8.25 train and was on the 8.00 train from Hastings coming home. Got home at 10.30.
The dog had a really good time as well, running up and down the East hill, and chasing pebbles on the beach.
Fish and chips for tea
. What could be better.
I am now settling down to watch stage 3 of the Giro.
Happy days.

I had a look this morning and the French beans are poking through, but no runners yet.

Just about to head into town for lunch before going along to the GFT to see Once Upon A Time in The West. A superb film that I’ve seen several times but never where it should be seen; on the big screen.
Can’t wait!
