Lazy Day

Had a lazy day today, so lazy that I spent the afternoon watching a DVD of "Murder One"; do you remember that convoluted court case involving two suspects (at least so far), Richard Cross - the one who smiles and smiles and is a villain and Niel Avedon, the pretty boy male film star?

There are some films or TV series that are worth while buying and keeping to watch and rewatch at some interval - such as Jewel in the Crown, Between the Lines, West Wing, Homicide: Life on the Street (to my mind the best ever cop show), and others that are better being rented and watched either for the first time or later. Have to confess that once again I sing the praises of Amazon because they put more former tv series on offer than many other rental sites, who cater more for the film buff.

Former tv series, issued with subtitles in English for the hard of hearing. fit my needs perfectly.

The trees here are still green, but "the nights are fair drawing in" - it is only 18.36 British Summer Time and already outside all colours have been leached out of the scenery.
