Having a television around is convenient, watching things on the laptop or phone does come with limitations. I think our choice of something smaller isn't a bad move, it fits the feel and décor of the house better. I do agree that it can be a bit of a slippery slope habit wise watching things early on in the day. It sounds like you have a great lifestyle right now, and keeping things that way has to be paramount.
Sorry to hear about the hips, it can slow you down. Hopefully nothing that will require replacements any time soon. But as long as you can enjoy those evening short strolls that is what's important.
I really liked The Night Manager by the way, just finished season 2. What a well done show with such great acting! I haven't seen The Industry as of yet although it is high on the to watch list here at some point. Being former military I do understand Jamie's fascination with tanks!
