Today I finished uploading my latest photos of our grandchildren onto my
Flickr site - click on the link to the site, on the right hand side, if you'd like
to see them. I also went along to hear a talk at my local U3A this morning,
all about The Kindle, which comes  in several versions as you might know.
I can't say I'll ever use one, as I read mainly computer and photography
magazines, and newspapers at present ... I tend to read books when I'm
away on holiday, when I don't have access to a computer.

I spent an hour or so, going through a pile of family photos that Mrs C
had decided throw out ... I saved about a third of them plus a stack of
negatives. I haven't got the time or motivation at present, to re-organize
all these photos & negatives with their related copies. Enough said about
all that.

I'm pleased to say that there's more fantastic Scandinavian TV drama
coming to our screens ...

We watched the first episode of "Sebastian Bergman" on Catch-up TV,
this afternoon ... brilliant, plus a very dated re-run of "Wycliffe". Earlier in
the week, we watched the first episode of an American TV drama called
"Revenge", which looks very promising ... though I thought the plot was
rather OTT.  The lovely Madeline Stowe plays one of the leading parts:
the matriarch, Victoria Grayson. Looking at her CV on Wikipedia, I
recalled which one of her many films I'd seen her in - "Short Cuts".

I recognized Rachel Shelley (who plays Helena Peabody in "The L Word")
in the 1997 episode of "Wycliffe" ... another very familiar face, as I see she's
been in lots of TV drama over the years ... http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0791226/

Mrs C and I are taking another holiday this coming week, in gay Paris ... so
I'll be back to blogging in 1-2 weeks' time.
