Big Tree Down in Town

A huge evergreen cane down on Thursday in the high winds.

I took this photo yesterday in the village where my office is located.

The green part of the tree keeps on going. It was VERY tall. If it had fallen over the road it would have taken the power lines and it might have hit the firehouse if it had fallen diagonally. I feel sorry for the homeowners because this is going to be a big cleanup. They are putting an extension on the left side of their old house and this is a disruption they didn't need.

Yesterday was a gorgeous mild day and today it snowed off and on most of the day. Nothing major though. Hope you are having a nice weekend. xo

The JOHN THAW STORY on YouTube

John Thaw 1942-2002 

Missed but not forgotten.

I watched his life story and now I love him even more. 

It's 50 minutes long. Be sure and watch if you are a fan.

If you want to go directly to YouTube, here's the link:

The Unforgettable John Thaw Story 

Enjoy!

UPDATE: I found a link for his body of work. He was a very prolific actor/producer and he signed a contract for another film project the day before he died.

Wonderful Snowy Owl Photo

A snowy owl in the snow looking quite snug!

What could be more wonderful?

I had snow all day but it didn't amount to much.

This is a fabulous photo.

Good Night Mr. Tom - Movie with John Thaw

This is a must watch film if you love John Thaw. When I finished all 5 seasons of Kavanaugh QC on Tubi I researched films starring him and I knew immediately this was a movie I would love and I did. It's heartbreakingly beautiful. Click on the link for the film on YouTube: GOODNIGHT MR. TOM 

Pizza Night and Inspector Morse

Does this count as eating my greens?

This frozen pizza was delicious.

A birth announcement is on my toast rack in the background. I found a marble lazy susan and have a new arrangement behind my cutting board. I love rearranging and have been doing quite a bit in the last few days. I'm off to watch an episode of Inspector Morse before I go to sleep. 

I found a link on YouTube for all the full episodes in chronological order. I only watch the ones that say they are one hour and forty minutes+ long. Some are in short increments and I skip those. Every episode of Morse is a complete case that is solved so it's fine to skip. I never even tried those short ones so I don't know why they are so short. See YouTube link below.

UPDATE: I watched one of the episodes that has a short running time and it automatically went to the next segment until the full episode was finished. So don't be afraid of the short ones. xo

Here's a photo of the pizza box I fished out of my junk mail and paper recycling container I keep just outside my basement door. It is a ShopRite private label called bowl & basket. I will definitely buy it again. It was the best frozen pizza ever. They have other varieties too.

My Snowdrops

I worked outside on this lovely Sunday afternoon cutting back the Limelight hydrangeas and some more general spring cleanup. It's really too early to do very much but it was nice being outdoors. The snowdrops are in full bloom and they are my harbingers of spring and the daffodils will be next.

I recently finished watching all five seasons of Kavanaugh QC on Tubi and loved it. It's on Amazon Prime too. Kavanagh Q.C. is a British Series about a barrister with the designation of Queen's Counsel (hence the title) starring John Thaw. I love all legal dramas, especially the English ones with barristers and judges wearing robes and wigs. I learned John Thaw was the original Inspector Morse and now I am watching and really enjoying all of those old episodes on YouTube. Somehow I missed them when they aired on PBS. I don't think the new Morse on Endeavour can hold a candle to the old Morse!
