as busy as i am, i have caught up with all the two seasons of Downton Abbey, in good company too. there are not many shows that i hanker for, but DA is one of those rare ones where every minute of the show keeps you glued to the set.... the setting is superb, the clothes are gorgeous, the actors are well casted, and oh the lines... my oh my... such classic, drop dead, one-liners.... absolutely brilliant. no wonder it's such a hit in UK and wherever it's shown.
can't wait till sept 2012 for the 3rd season... and because i'm here in this end of the world, i have to wait forever before shoobaba can download and somehow send across to me.
the house is very quiet without the girls... first, one left three weeks ago, then the other left a few days ago. if i'm not careful, i will start to enjoy being a hermit - do an ava gardner..
it's so strange to spend xmas without the kids; for the last 28 years, i have never missed xmas with them. it's okay when i'm at home and its all quiet, but when i'm at the shopping malls and the xmas songs are blaring away and the festive spirit is all around, the loneliness grabs. thank goodness for work - i have not welcomed work this much before...
i wonder if this will be the beginning of yet another chapter of my life - xmas without kids..
