There are always errors in historical dramas - the wrong breed of chickens is a very common one - Pa would've sacked all those men 'scything' yesterday - they were rubbish!!! And the field had obviously been 'drilled' with a mechanical drill - you could see the crop rows - but it would cost a fortune for them to grow a whole crop for months just to provide the right background for 5 minutes of finished film time - the licence payers couldn't afford it . Those of us who spot these things just have to smile and ignore it.
Glad the neck's easier Hosta
Haven't heard from Wonky today - wonder if that means she's better and well enough for work - hope so

Hi folks, Had a lazy start to the day haven't even had breakfast yet
Glad to hear you have made progress re medication Pat and that your neck is improving Hosta.
Not too many aches and pains for me today despite my efforts in the garden yesterday.
It's dull and a bit drizzily here today so not sure what I'll be up to. Need to cut back a chocolate vine, even though it's not the right time, as it's choking a twisted hazel that's in the same part of the garden. Not sure I'm up to it today though.
Ha! I reckon the biggest Poldark mistake was bothering to re-do it in the first place. There must be other historical sagas they could have filmed without doing the same old same old. Didn't need another War and Peace either tho I did enjoy the last P&P and Possum watches that and is now reading the book.
Good news Pat. Well done.
I am messing with CDs. Removals man said they could stay on their racks and be packed as they were so OH has carefully packed them away. I am now cleaning them and their racks and putting them back.
Leccy man has been and complimented me on how well I know the system and circuits. Easy when you've lived through every second of the renovations. OH hasn't a clue as he always managed to be working away from home during the muck and dust and banging and clattering.

Hello all. Our phone line is still down, so I'm at friend's house in the village again borrowing the Internet.
I hope Wonky is feeling better, tummy bugs are horrid. Can't get crackling here, they take all the skin off the pork. They make a horrid dish with it, they boil beans with pork skin then they say what a wonderful flavour it gives the beans and they eat the white, flacid, greasy boiled skin - YUK!
Obelixx, I'm really enjoying Poldark, mistakes and all, glad they have re-done it.
Here is a photo of the sky before the storm. We were eating dinner outside on the terrace on Tuesday evening, warm and peaceful, then the sky went dark. It came very quickly with tremendous wind, I could hardly shut the kitchen door and the noise was scary.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Thanks Hazel. Time will tell.
Pat ((hugs)) sounds good

and at least sparrowhawks kill to eat and feed their young. Cats just do it for fun.
I'm happy to share my garden with our sparrowhawk(s) and buzzards.
