We Had A Real Lazy Day,

no one called round and we did not go out, so it was feet up and watch some DVD's Dial M for Murder, we have seen it more than a few times before but still very enjoyable, great acting and an almost flawless plot,
then two from the horror box, the 1992 Dracula, this version of Dracula is closely based on Bram Stoker's classic novel of the same name, a young lawyer (Jonathan Harker) is assigned to a gloomy village in the mists of eastern Europe, he is captured and imprisoned by the undead vampire Dracula, who travels to London, inspired by a photograph of Harker's betrothed, one of the more memorable remakes, followed by Dracula II: Ascension, not as good as the first but some chilling special effects, it would have been better to have seen it late at night!
mid evening it was a Touch Of Frost, two stories on this DVD, Penny for the Guy, there is a manpower shortage and a rash of child kidnapped for ransom force a vacationing Frost back to work, followed by House Calls, the body of a thief undiscovered for 3 months is found, but who lived in the house before? also a child abuser who is injecting children with water is on the lose again, Jack recalls a similar case and when they learn he is now in the area, they have have an immediate suspect,
then for us a sad night, the last three of the 112 episodes of Tales Of The Unexpected, it was nice to watch a pre-Poirot David Suchet in this one called A Time to Die, playing Yves Drouard, he decides he will kill his wife by rigging up an explosive device to a new time clock, but what happens when there is a power cut? but of the three the best was - but with an easy to see twist Mr. Know-All, played by a very likable Topol, then off to bed.

I saw this on a webpage and immediately thought of you and your description on how to play Golf. Quote "I can recite backwards all 28 numbers in the Alphabet"
