A nice parcel arrived early this afternoon. We only have the four domestic Irish channels on the TV, so instead of buying more books, I spent my birthday vouchers on some DVDs. Four box sets - the complete series of
Morse, the complete series of
Poirot, series 1-5 of
Frost, and the 12 episodes of
Miss Marple played by Joan Hickson. 186 hours of viewing pleasure as the nights start to get longer (and very good value as they were fraction of the original recommended price). We've just watched the first Morse,
The Dead of Jericho (also the first Morse book I read). Very superior television. So, next time there's nothing much worth watching on the box, we can watch some master sleuths at work. The only thing to beat that is reading a very good book.
