    Hi Sue hope your keeping well.  I don't actually watch TV , I haven't done for years , I go on you tube quite a bit and have watched repair uploads when I'm stuck on something lol , I was a chef before my accident so didn't have time and I guess it just stuck , I hope everyone is having a great day !
