We Had A Quiet Day,

I popped out to pick up the photos, some bits and pieces from Friendship,


then home feet up and watch some television, in the afternoon Mr. Tony called round for a tea and a chat, after he left we watched some of the HD broadcast on satellite television on the discovery channel, which I must say looked really good, above a sea urchin,

 living on it two small shrimps,

 the programme was about sea life that camouflages itself, the crinoid above looks nothing unusual,

 but in its arms a small shrimp,

 here the side of a fish, clue look for its eye,

 and a transparent shrimp,

all in all a great program and a great improvement over some of the other HD programs we have watched, then it all fell apart, the next program also in HD was so poor, maybe different cameras were used, but to call the program HD was a huge leap of faith, so whilst some HD transmissions are very good we do not think we will pay the extra for full time HD as it appears these are outweighed by programs not really up to scratch, still we have the free trial for another two weeks so we may change our minds,

a complete change of pace for our late night movie, The Caine Mutiny, three officers conspire to take over a ship at war, but things look different on dry land at a court martial, then for us we were off to bed.
