Another windy day today, with predictions of force seven or eight in some parts later. For me, another day at home is planned as I plough on through the next draft chapter of the next book, and in the evening, maybe another couple of Hornblowers. We stumbled across the 1999 British series last night, thought we’d give one a go, and really enjoyed it, so we watched another. Apart from everything else, it’s a good game to say, ‘I recognise him…’ then spend ages trying to remember where and in what. Failing, I end up looking him up on the internet, and that usually comes with a, ‘Well I never!’ or words to that effect. For example, I recognised Hornblower from… Oh, where was it…? I’ve definitely seen him before… He’d be quite a bit older now… And went and looked him up. Well I never! Of course it is. I didn’t know that… he was Officer Lowe in Titanic, and also Reed Richards in the Fantastic 4, among many other things. Then there was the chap who turned up later as Ivy’s father-in-law in Downtown Abbey. So it is! Good Lord.
That’s for this evening. For now, to cheer up this blustery and grey day, how about a couple of random shots from my ‘top post one day’ folder?
