Earth - One Amazing Day
Among the programmes Mum really enjoys watching are those about the natural world - she likes David Attenborough's Planet Earth, and there are other wild life and nature films that capture her attention too.
Sometimes I wonder if she is really following the programme, or if it is simply a series of scenes passing before her eyes, and just as quickly forgotten.
We were watching Earth - One Amazing Day, an interesting take on what was going on over 24 hours on the planet, when some footage showed a large brown bear in the forest.
The camera followed the bear's progress, and soon it came to the base of a tree, and began to climb up it.
I could see Mum was very engrossed and - as if to prove she really was paying attention - suddenly she came out with:
"I wouldn't like to meet him on a walk in the park!"
Collapse of Alex with laughter.
"Ma, you're absolutely right! We wouldn't want to meet him on a walk in the park!"
