Five-Minute Post, Post #50

This should be a major post, one thinks, what with it being #50, but my 'little grey cells' are misfiring and I am tired and sad. So, five minutes --

*Murder on the Orient Express is a delight. Just entertaining and beautifully done, with fabulous actors from top to bottom. Sir Ken is a fine Poirot (say I, who heretically have not loved David Suchet's Poirot), and in a stellar cast Daisy Ridley and Leslie Odom Jr were especially fine.

*HVAC work last week, which involved men up in my attics and the plaintive sound of Johnny Cash's Greatest Hits wafting down through the vents.

*Lunch out today with a dear friend in the Posh Town Nearby, sitting outside in clouds and a stiff east breeze. I am now allergy-ridden like anything.

*I walked this morning, too, my hour-long exercise up and down what passes for hills here. At last all the hurricane debris has been picked up.

*I am starting to plan my London splurges (beyond theatre, and a nice hotel, and dinners and tea with friends). I think I'm going to buy fabric for my new bedroom whilst near Peter Jones. :)

*Master Danger says hello, grudgingly. He played outside this afternoon and is slightly weary, bless him.

What's the good word with you? Sending hugs and good thoughts!

We are definitely wanting to see Murder on the Orient Express -- the trailers looked very promising!

I quite enjoyed Murder on the Orient Express. I like the 1974 version better, but I think that's because I saw it first.
