Masterpiece Monday: Downton Abbey, 5.2
January 12, 2015
Good Monday morning, my friends! I hope this post finds you well and enjoying a lovely start to your week ...
So I must confess right off ... I only kind of watched Downton last night because a certain little Little Bear was awake through the first half, and a certain sleepy Mama was half-asleep through the second half! But despite my inattention, I wanted to get this post up early so we could all start chatting ...
Some key plot points to discuss (if my foggy memory serves) ...
Mary and Tony (and Charles) ...
Daisy and Miss Bunting (and Tom) ...
Edith and Marigold and the Drews ...
Rose and the Wireless ...
Lord G. and Carson and the War Memorial ...
Cora and Some Art Guy ...
Violet and Isobel and ... ? Quite missed what's happening there.
I'm going to re-watch the episode tonight so I'll hopefully have some more "thoughtful" thoughts to add to this post tomorrow! But please, if you'd care to leave your impression of last night's show, I'd love to hear it and get the conversation rolling!
Before I go though, may I show you something first?
Today is my birthday and yesterday after church, my folks came over for breakfast. Bill brewed coffee and my mum made French toast for us all as well as bacon and fresh raspberries and a lovely lemon-glazed gingebread. This beautiful Irish sweater was my birthday gift from Mum and Dad and I don't think I've ever owned anything finer - I love it so much! And the little guy on my hip snuggled right up against it. It's quite soft and warm. :)
Ok, on with the day now ... I am typing this up in the dark of the wee hours ... a second cup of coffee is in order, I think (and possibly a third, we'll see). If my birthday holds true to form, there will be snow today ... and maybe a little more cake.
:)
Have a good one, my friends ... see you here again very soon!
