Not strictly on TV, but I finally got around to watching 'The Hollow Crown' on DVD last night which was first broadcast by the BBC in the summer. I watched the first episode, Richard II with Ben Whishaw. His performance, the whole production left me speechless. Even if you don't like Shakespeare I would urge you to watch this. It's so captivating you can't take your eyes away from the screen.

^^Enjoy!

I'm about half-an-hour away from Leek. I don't think I've walked The Manifold Valley. I did lots of walks in the Peak District when I lived in Sheffield (I lived on the side that borders the Peak District). I'm not sure where exactly, except it was bloody hard work but worth it for the views.
-
^^Maybe I should, I hadn't thought of that.
-
Not in the peaks, in North Staffordshire.

It's snowing lightly here. I took this photo from the bottom of my garden this morning.

I put on a pair of boots this morning that I haven't worn since last winter, and I felt something in the toe. I took them off expecting to find a stone, and a pound coin dropped on the floor.

I'm looking forward to watching the final episode of 'Merlin' tonight on BBC 1. Then I will be watching the sequel to 'The Snowman', The Snowman and the Snow Dog'. I know, I'm a big kid, but I like to watch something festive on Christmas eve.

I watched a the film 'Another Earth' last night. I was worried that it was going to prententious nonsense like 'The Tree of Life', but it was a really interesting and thought provoking flim about redemption. -
Today it's just Dairylea and some cherry tomatoes, and a couple of pickled onions on the side.

Getting my hair cut. Nothing drastic, just an inch off the ends, but I feel like a new woman.
-
I'm having my brunch. Mixed seed Ryvita, a packet of cheesy Wotsists, and an apple for good measure.
-
^^I had a crap secret Santa present too, a fork the swivels round so you can eat spaghetti without moving your hand. It's in a bag ready to go to the charity shop.

I had a great evening last night. I had some friends round to watch Celebration Day. They are Zep heads but hadn't seen it. It's such an amazing show, it just seems to get better and better, and I keep noticing new things.
-
I thought winter had already started!
-
Waiting for Ikea to deliver my shelving unit. Then I'm off to my work Christmas party tonight.
-
Most parts of the country might get a light covering. Nothiing to worry about I think since it's going milder at the weekend.
-
It's really foggy here too. I was driving home late last night with my other half on the country roads in the freezing fog. That wasn't a fun experience at all. He was doing the driving. I just kept praying that we'd make it home alive! Snow is forecast for tomorrow.
-
^^Yes, happy birthday Kiwi!! As I mentioned to you, I was offline on Sunday so I missed your birthday. I'm just glad so many members here remembered. I hope you had a great day.
-
It's pretty chilly here too and still frosty this afternoon.
-
Not a meal, but I'm consuming aniseed balls at the moment. They're quite hard to to find these days. I was in one of those old fashioned sweet shops on Sunday and bought a couple of bags.
-
I will Kate, thank you. Poor Danny having to wait, but I'm sure it will make his Christmas! Send him my very best wishes.
-
My copy of 'Celebration Day' finally arrived in the post. I nearly hugged my postman when I saw that Amazon package in his hands. My next door neighbours, a lovely retired couple, have just gone away for a few days so 'Celebration Day' will be played at an appropiate volume tonight without me worrying about disturbing them. Somehow I don't think they're Zep heads! 'My, my, my, I'm so happy, I'm gonna join the band'.

^Hi Kate What a great picture. Any idea where this was taken? I don't recognise the building.

It's the incompetence of Royal Mail as usual. I have a couple of items of mail that have gone astray. It must down to my local sorting office. I would phone them and complain except they never answer the phone. I wonder why?!
