One Of The Orchids,

is putting out a huge flowers spike,

 I actually measured it,

 from where it leaves the bulb it is now 32"long,

 it should hopefully look really nice, 

when it eventually flowers, we had a television day, 

starting with UFO, based loosely on the the real life events at Chicago O'Hare airport in 2006 where dozens of airport personnel, pilots and passengers witnessed a saucer shaped object hover over the airport before darting up into the sky at an incredible speed, the film explores the aftermarth, and makes a really good case for what happened, if you have not heard of the film it is well worth a look,

next a British stiff upper lip war movie, We Dive at Dawn, a gritty war drama released during the war in 1943, as an aside the submarine used the film P615, was sunk in action a few months later, She was torpedoed by the U123 near Sierra Leone on April 18, 1943, all forty-four crew members lost their lives, after our evening meal it was back to a couple of series, firstly one from Sherlock Holmes, a Poirot, finishing with one from New Tricks, we rounded the evening off with one from Have I Got News For You, and with the end of that we were off to bed.
