Been ill for several days. Yes, Foyle's War returned in April, a superb 3 or 4 new episodes dealing with the aftermath of the war, and more to come I think. I don't know what it is about Michael Kitchen... apart from the fact that I happen to think he's rather good looking. LOL.<br /><br />I hope you're enjoying seeing Cornwall in Doc Martin. Port Isaac is stunning, imo.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-2992608965284785392010-10-23T22:40:37.782+01:002010-10-23T22:40:37.782+01:00I love Foyle's War and I so pleased to see her...I love Foyle's War and I so pleased to see here that it is being revived there. It means awhile before we get the new series here in the States, but, worth the wait. <br /><br />There is something about Kitchen. I wonder if we like him because we trust him, he is steady and honest and principled. Oh, and then there is that way he tilts his head, just so . . . <br /><br />We are just now getting Doc Martin and I'm laughing my socks off on Friday nights.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-40996957273884878142010-05-04T23:46:15.159+01:002010-05-04T23:46:15.159+01:00LizF: No problem, I just like to visit the blogs o...LizF: No problem, I just like to visit the blogs of people who are kind enough to leave a comment here, if they have one. I certainly understand busy and you sound particularly so.<br /><br />Oddly enough I just spotted a comment you left on A Work in Progress - that you're currently reading The Shetland Isles mystery books. I'm currently reading the first one of those myself, Raven Black, and thoroughly enjoying it.Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-91267972290599268752010-05-04T17:23:10.773+01:002010-05-04T17:23:10.773+01:00Hi Cath

I work full time, have two of my four children still at home and look after our grand daughter Amelia who is almost two at weekends and I don't think I could manage the commitment to do a blog properly. <br />I do love reading some of them, though, yours included although you bloggers don't do much good to my bank balance because there are so many tempting books out there!LizFnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-80296665916453956132010-04-28T08:43:19.790+01:002010-04-28T08:43:19.790+01:00LizF: We have FreeSky and I don't think we can...LizF: We have FreeSky and I don't think we can get Alibi on that - I'll have to check properly. We often get ourselves a set of TV series dvds for Christmas so if Castle comes out on region 2 (fingers crossed) I'll probably do that. Last we year we watched Buffy from Jan to March and it was great fun. <br /><br />Must take a look at this Nathan Fillon that everyone seems to be talking about... ;-)<br /><br />Have you got a blog I can visit?Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-52366751806077799722010-04-27T11:16:10.535+01:002010-04-27T11:16:10.535+01:00Castle is on in the UK.

It started about three weeks ago on (I think) Alibi channel on either a Wednesday or Thursday and I quite enjoyed the first episode.<br />I have to admit that I am pre-disposed to like anything that Nathan Fillon so I wasn't being too critical, but sadly as we have only one TV which gets Sky and don't have Sky Plus, I haven't seen it since.

It's weird... and annoying for the show's fans!<br /><br />Jeanne: I was wondering if I ought to read the book and from your comment I think the answer is probably, 'yes'... to experience the different flavour.

They changed a few things, and the fantasy stuff seemed really different from how I imagined it.

The Russian House, which was rather like a spy thriller, and Killing Time which was a story based on the local American army base involving racial tension. Both have been excellent stories, well acted and gripping. You have such a treat in store.<br /><br />Hey Pat! This Merlin thing is very strange. I thought one of your big networks had bought the first two series and you would have no trouble seeing them. Season 2 started slow as I think I told you, but just got better and better. Very annoying!Cathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06371069000185280668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-77653883307188296072010-04-18T23:22:23.897+01:002010-04-18T23:22:23.897+01:00geez.. i don't even see Merlin since they put ...geez.. i don't even see Merlin since they put it on SyFy instead of the channel that bought it and it doesn't even come on until 10 and I am in bed then (the small tv has limited channels and doesn't get SyFy)...I don't know if I get that particular pbs either in there.. i'll do some checking. I watched part of Merlin on line, it's just so tiny to do that.. drives me insane when I have a 46 inch flat screen sitting here !! oh well.. guess I'll live. lolDesLilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02582481597658080464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3958492963483272678.post-60958610510193446442010-04-18T13:22:18.808+01:002010-04-18T13:22:18.808+01:00Cath, I read Bridge to Terabithia many years ago w...Cath, I read Bridge to Terabithia many years ago when my daughter was young. I remember loving it, but it was a complex story. Haven't seen the movie.<br /><br />Foyle's War....I love that series. I'm so excited about more episodes and plan to watch in May. It is historical mystery at its best. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
