Hi newlife2,

I tried learning guitar until I was robbed of that by arthritis in my hands and referred pain and numbness in my arms. The thing is, there is plenty of other more mind-expanding subjects you can learn about for free all over the Net as a distraction. Perhaps an old school/college class you were weak at? Or one you enjoyed you want to expand on.

Tv is an easy distraction, especially if you keep it Light occasionally. Jon, I'm glad I'm not the only Teen Titans fan. Add in TMNT, Adventure Time and Regular Show and my Grandson and I are set. Good Documentaries and sheer Escapism shows are also great - anything thought-provoking.

Jenng, for a BBC historical Gem watch out for the remake of Poldark.

Dave.
