We’ve given up watching the news in the evenings; so, in fact, we’ve given up watching television altogether because all our TV watching consisted of the news and an hour of vain channel hopping thereafter. Now we sit and read and listen to music. We chat. It’s amazing how much of a difference it’s made to my evening. Apart from anything else, it’s delightful to be missing the economic doom news which RTE likes to lead with nightly. I’ll let you know when our resolve cracks.
I have stopped buying newspapers for similar reasons. I used to live for the Irish Times on a Sat and the Observer of a Sun. Now I just look up the bits I want on my phone. I suspect I’m not missing much.
No, just lots of gloom…
