Max and I have been taking down Christmas decorations.. also I have been bothered with a sinus infection, but doing much better now.
I also have been doing some stitching but only on Happy Christmas, I'm really trying to finish it up. I have done a little on JH 9-11, but not enough to show.
Here's the update on Happy Christmas...Santa brought me some new charts and things, here's just a few...
Sorry for the fuzzy picture, sometimes I still get confused with this camera... On the TV viewing front while I stitch, I'm really excited about Loretta Young being star of the month this January. She was such a beauty. Also we have gone through three episodes of "Downton Abbey" and I'm I have been very disappointed.. I know others on the Facebook page are enthralled, but to me the punch and spark has gone out. Mary comes off as a brat, and neither her nor Matthew seems to have a lot warmth for each other as they did in Series I and II. All he does is moan over Lavinia and the money and she just is busy grabbing for the money. The one bright hope was of Edith finding happiness, which faded last night when Maggie Smith made her comments about him so they would be over heard and he left Edith standing at the alter. An this thing with Ethel wanting help, not wanting help, wanting help, is driving me nuts. I know across the pond they see it with commercials, but we get ours edited and cut to fit the PBS time slot, to me its all a plot to get you the uncut DVD version. I have my own grips with PBS, that's why my diet of TV viewing is mostly TCM. PBS has alot of people getting rich, and they keep asking for more money and show even less and less of new stuff. Alot of its repeats over and over. All we get that's new is Sherlock and Downton Abbey, and every two to three years a Ken Burns and that's it, at least that's the way it is here in the DC Metro area, where we have 4 PBS stations which all show the same thing and are glamoring for the same bucks. Anyway that's my rant, and don't get me wrong I will still watch next's week episode of Downton Abbey, maybe something good will happen.
So I leave you now with Beau and Annie...
Thank you for stopping by. Your comments mean so much..
Lovely stitching and gifts. Hopefully your feeling better soon :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stitching progress. Love the pic of your kitties.
ReplyDeleteNice progress on your stitching!
ReplyDeleteWe get Downton Abbey at the same time as they see it in Britain, and we're avid fans. All I can say is--stick with it. I did want to slap Matthew upside the head, and give Mary a swift kick, but it does get better. I don't think this season was as good as the previous two, but it was very good.
Stick wih Downton the third series as a whole was the best for me.
