Suggest she calls the donkey Travis.

In other news, a British woman is now apparently the world's oldest person.

Congratulations M'Virn!

What's up with Sam, eh? Doesn't seem too happy with his colleagues.
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

I tried growing tomatoes from seed this year, and today I have been potting up 48 Alicantes. Gardener's Delight tomorrow . . .

If you know anyone in the York area who wants some tomoatoes, please let them know!

He's not feeling well, and has no patience left.

I'm finding the flashback style slows the story down a bit.

Do you want it to go faster?

The donkey is called Toby already. And lives in a donkey sanctuary, so she doesn't have to get it up the stairs to her appartment.

France last won Eurovision in 1977, with a Marie Myriam singing 'L'Oiseau et l'Enfant', which sounds suspiciously like your song, OSP.

No. Diffrent song. Mine was earlier pre ABBA.


Wonderful dream by anne marie david luxembourg pas France le whoops. Close enough.

Apparently they did it like that to give John Simm a rest from being in every single scene.

Not especially - it just breaks things up a bit, I think.

That's a nice name.

I think the kidnapper is female.

That's interesting.

As I said, i'm often wrong. But it feels that way atm.

But the format keeps you guessing. Going back over the scenes from different angles

M1795537OCVirn
See completly wrong. That's why I don't try to write things like LOM!
"You're not sulking, I hope?"

It's drawn us in hasn't it, this episode?

So who actually killed the girl?

Wait for it...

OK, I see. I didn't miss it.
 
M1795537OCVirn
Well, apart from the donkey interlude...
"You're not sulking, I hope?"
 
AnneArthur
Well, that grew on me. Nice to have a slightly different approach for a change. Thanks for watching it with me.
 
M1795537OCVirn
This was hard to watch. Her sixteenth birthday got to me. Today should have been my son-in-law's birthday, but he drowned on holiday a few years ago. The donkey was my daughter's birthday present for him.

Thanks, it's OK. But programmes on TV hardly ever take death seriously enough. I'm glad they wrote the dad so angry, in a way. It made sense.

Anyway, great to have your company, and I hope you have a good week. Till next time, eh? Bye.

Yes. We talk so often about the sorrow but the anger that goes along with it can be just as devastating.

A dreadful thing, M1.

(Not that it's important, France have won the ESC five times. All of them effin' desperate.)
