Some pictures of Diana and Myself, where we now live and places around us, things that we find interesting, amusing or just plain weird!

We Had A Busy Day Today,
firstly Mark called in, then Mr Tony arrived, just back from the UK, so it was non stop chatting about things both in the UK and here for so many cups of tea I lost count! I then continued sorting the stamps that Phil had kindly brought over from the UK, I found a couple of 'bonus' stamps in a job lot I bought,
then on to our evening meal, we had a romantic candle lit dinner for two, Diana cooked scallops rolled in bacon for starters,
followed by spaghetti bolognese for Diana and chicken with vegetables for myself,
a raspberry covered tart for dessert made the meal complete,
then feet up for the next out of the Bond box, The Living Daylights, this is the Bond film where the two protagonist are on a net bag fighting for their lives thousands of feet in the air, very exciting and for me more than slightly unnerving!
the last of the Die Hard 4.0, when a criminal plot is in place to take down the entire computer and technological structure that supports the economy of the United States (and the world), it's up to a decidedly "old school" hero, police detective John McClane, to take down the conspiracy, aided by a young hacker who just happens to be Justin Long whose autograph Diana has (it is a long post so scroll to the bottom if you want to have a look), from when we saw him at Leicester Square on our visit to the UK, there is a rumour that a Die Hard 5 is on the way,
to round of the evening we watched two more Poirot's, the first Four and Twenty Blackbirds, the estranged, elderly Gascoigne brothers are found dead within days of each other, the one, Anthony, died in his home in Brighton in circumstances that give no cause for suspicion, the other brother, Henry, an eccentric, reclusive painter, however, has fallen downstairs and been dead for some time before his death is discovered, the good news is that I nearly identified the killer in this one, followed by The Third Floor Flat, this time the 'action' takes place at the flat two floors below Poirot's in Whitehaven Mansions, they learn that the new occupant has been found shot, one of the things I enjoy about the series is the Art Nouveau, well a little bit early, as Poirot is set in the mid 1930's but it has that sort of look about it, the design of the opening credits being particularly nice, then off to bed.
