Holidays are rum games aren’t they? Here we are enjoying a
short break in Norfolk, getting out and about, doing a spot of bird watching,
drinking lots of coffee followed by long lazy evening reading or surfing the
web.
Because we are on holiday I’ve tended to switch off,
ignoring the endless screeching nonsense that mainstream news has become. Of
course life goes on with or without the constant clamour and absolutely nobody
is surprised that it does so. Ignore the nonsense and life goes on because that’s
what life does.
Many activities bring this out. For me a walk in the
Derbyshire hills or a long evening read, but holidays seem to drive the message
home particularly well. Mainstream news is mostly a mix of wild exaggeration,
nonsense and celebrity drivel we don’t need to know. Ignoring it could easily become
a habit.

Ignoring 'the news', is bliss these days.
We haven't watched more than an hour or so of BBC for over three years, and life is so much more enjoyable.
Better for the mental health.
Scrobs - even more necessary since the election announcement.
James - much better.
