Straight On To Today's Post

yesterday in the evening I had the start of a tooth ache,


 after a couple of hours it was sever, so as soon as the dentist is opens today I will be first in the queue! but back to yesterday, Jay and Precil called round in the afternoon,

 whilst Jay and myself had a chat the girls decided they were hungry so off shopping they went,

 mission accomplished, so then back for a few nibbles, after Jay and Precil left Mark called round for a coffee and a chat, we naturally put the world to rights before he left, next feet up for a few DVDs,

first an oldie, When Worlds Collide, I have copied and pasted my comments from when we watched it before, 'sure it can not compete with today's special effects as it was made in 1951, but when I watched it as a kid it was so real, the planet Zyra will collide with Earth and wipe out all of humanity, despite widespread disbelief, two philanthropists give Dr. Hendron some of the money he needs to build a rocket ship that will, at least theoretically, take them to Zyra, which may or may not be habitable for humans, the rest of the money comes from Sydney Stanton, a wheelchair-bound old man, who insists he come along, despite the severe limitations on the number of passengers and amount of cargo', one of the few end of the world movies that has not been remade in the past few years,

we now had received L. A. Law series 2, but there were a couple of episodes we had not watched on series 1, so it was time to catch up, still a great favourite of mine, Diana had more than a few chuckles at the antics of some of the crew, in case you do not know the series is about the lives and work of the staff of a major Los Angeles law firm,

this BluRay contains breathtaking aerial footage filmed over 15 years from the air over the earth that was visually stunning but with a doom and gloom commentary, it is all our fault is the message, so switch the commentary off and a nice piece of music on to be totally captivated by the images,

our late evening or I should say early morning viewing was the first from series 8 Waking the Dead, Magdalene 26, great story with a real twist towards the end, a middle-aged woman nude and wandering in woods after an apparent car crash is found and hospitalised, before she regains her memory an attempt is made on her life, who is she? and why is she wanted dead? yet again Boyd goes to a new crime scene, a car, whilst screaming at everyone not to touch it, he then crawls and handles everything he can find with out gloves on! pity attention to small things like this happen over and over again, but still great fun to watch, with that and a throbbing tooth we were off to bed.
