Just seen Lara on TV

Lara Thank you, think you summed up (the majority of) us lot very well!

Love the sweater... want one!

Yes, I picked it up. Very nice to see Lara and thankyou for those kind words.

Prior to that I re-watched Steve Rosenberg ( Russian Correspondent ) playing that lovely grand piano. He's so clever and speaks fluent Russian too, obviously

Only works in the UK.

It's at 2hours 25 minutes into the broadcast. Well said, Lara. She reflected the mood of Gransnet accurately. Not surprising that a number of new members joined as a result.

Thankyou Marydoll, I'll do that.

Fast forward three quarter of the way along Ellan It's 8.27am, I think!

Furloughing until October---latest news.

I'm signed in to iPlayer but still fiddling about trying to get Lara.

Here is the exact part, to save trawling through the whole programme.

Thanks for the link Lara - I found it.
And I agree with the others that you gave a balanced and positive view of Gransnet. So many different opinions on here.

Well done Lara for representing us all in a balanced and positive way. ?

Ooh that was early! Were you in your jammies? Saw Rafe Spall on the other day pictured in front of what looked like a bar. He said it was more appropriate to what he was doing in lockdown!

LaraGransnet I think we were well represented thank you.

Just seen Lara on TV this morning and this was the first time I found out about gransnet. So I’ve signed up straightaway as I am one of those grandparents who does masses of childcare and now going through the challenges of keeping in touch.

Great idea Nortsat. I missed it so Thanks.

I sometimes have bookcase envy nowadays! Very distracting!?

If you're gonna have a bookcase, have a big one full of interesting books that we have to screw our necks into unnatural poses in order to read the titles.

You can see it on iPlayer.

I have asked GNHQ to make the clip of ‘Lara on the BBC’ available for us all to view ...

Well done fevertree! Saves me looking. ?

University of Stellenbosch and University of Cape Town ... (there's nothing that can't be found on the innernet).

Great minds Kitty...

I haven't got a bookcase.

The first I believe Gabriella
Welcome Bookbaby2. Why not tell us where you are and what the weather's like on the Good Morning thread.
Blue writing is a direct link.

I saw her too. She did represent us well, pitt.

Welcome bookbaby2. You could try the good morning thread if you haven't already.

I have a thing about the bookcase background, gabriella. Didn't we have a thread about it?
