    Which TV shows would you do?

    I'd do one of those shows where you get to try heritage crafts/skills, Watched one recently where a bunch got to do stone carving, wood carving, decorative plaster work(begins with P but can't remember ), black smithing too. Wouldn't mind doing something like wartime farm either.

    Life & Grind

    I have found life harder over the last year or so, Heart attacks, not working and getting no help from doctors due to covid hasn't helped, trying to get out more is harder than it used to be but spending more time in nature seems to be the best cure.
