Soldier

Things to do during loadshedding power cuts: watch Sean Bean in another episode of Sharpe on my laptop.

~ A year ago today we also had power issues ~ 

Miranda

Day five of no internet at home. Sigh. To make myself feel better I have been watching Miranda. She is ridiculous, but so, so funny!

~ A year ago to today I was spring cleaning ~

H4 Shoot

They were filming Homeland in my neighbourhood today. A fleet of trucks and gazillions of extras - and pouring rain. 

~ A year ago today I had Royals on repeat ~

Orphan Black

I really like this show (including its title sequence). Tatiana Maslany is terrific in all her roles.

~ A year ago today I went for a walk ~ 

Runway

When I'm stressed I like watching reality shows. Usually it's cooking competitions, but now I've started Project Runway. It's fun! 

~ A year ago today I was eating cookies ~

OITNB

I finally finished Deadwood yesterday, so time to pick a new drama series. More of this I think.

~ A year ago today I was enjoying clivia season ~ 

The Bee

I'm thoroughly enjoying The Great British Sewing Bee. I have zero sewing skills myself so I'm fascinated by the techniques and creativity shown by the contestants. It's really fun to watch!

~ A year ago today I was being disturbed by a noisy truck ~ 

Fargo

My new favourite show! I'm loving everything about it but particularly this character, Molly. Allison Tolman is awesome.

~ A year ago today I was in a shopping centre ~ 

Jack & Phryne

I quickly gave up on that other nonsense and for the last week have been watching Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. These two... the whole show... it's a delight! 

~ A year ago today I was eating bananas and cream ~ 

Falling Skies

Now watching (or more accurately, what's on the background while I potter around): this show. I was reminded about it on the weekend, and decided to give it another try, catching an episode this evening. It's not particularly good, but quite entertaining!

~ A year ago today I was down the coast ~

Enlightened

This week I've watched a few episodes of Laura Dern's show Enlightened. I'm intrigued... it's sort of funny, sad, uncomfortable, thought-provoking. She's wonderful in it.

~ A year ago today I was snacking on Tim-Tams ~ 

TBBT

This week I've been watching a few episodes of The Big Bang Theory. I'm not finding it nearly as funny as I used to. The characters just seem mean and silly. I think I'm over it.

~ A year ago today I was calling in my cat ~ 

Northman

I'm now watching Vikings. It's violent but very watchable.

~ A year ago today I was working at my colleague's desk ~ 

Watching Will

I'm currently hooked on Hannibal. It's so creepy! 

~ A year ago today I was driving home ~ 

Community

I finally started watching this sitcom. I began to find it really funny about a third of the way into the first season. Abed is a delight.
~ A year ago today Tom was playing with a cardboard box ~ 

Bake Off

My brother recommended this show to me, and I love it! 
~ A year ago today I was at a concert in the park ~ 

7 O'Clock News

There's been lots going on in the world the last few days so I watched the local news tonight to learn more. They covered all the political shenanigans but had very little on the other stories I'm interested in. It's so much easier to read news online! (BTW RIP PSH)
~ A year ago today I was admiring an orchid ~ 

Circuitboards

My colleague decided to dismantle a broken TV today. It was interesting to see what's inside the box.
~ A year ago today one of my succulents was in flower ~ 

It's Grand

I've been watching a few episodes of Grand Designs. It's really interesting!
~ A year ago today it was my little cat's birthday (if she was still with us she would have been seven today) ~ 

Killer

I've been watching The Killing. It's super-intense. Good acting too, particularly from Peter Sarsgaard.
