Feb. 21st, 2009 07:58 pmRandom drive-by update, as I had to log in to comment elsewhere. Work, some more work, and some knitting (http://www.girlfromauntie.com/patterns/shop/rogue/detail.php - body and hood done, first sleeve started).
Reading: Last Ditch - Ngaio Marsh. Not the best of her books, but still quite fun. I've been watching the BBC "Inspector Alleyn Mysteries" DVDs as well; against rather a lot of other reviewers, I like them a lot, possibly because I see them as an adjunct to the books rather than an attempt to reproduce the books directly. Yes, they take hideous liberties with the stories and Troy's hair needs to be shorter, but I do like Patrick Malahide as Alleyn. Belinda Lang is also good as Troy, and when the relationship does finally get going between them, the chemistry does seem to be there.
