Raincharm’s Weblog

A few weeks ago Ashlan was home for Reading Weekends.
She rented Season 1 of a show called Midsomer Murders.

Each show is about 1-1/2 hours long, without commercials.
It is a British murder mystery series, and we have both been enjoying them immensely. It has been around since the late 1990’s, so it may well be old news to most. We tend to miss certain things due to the lack of cable, or lack of searching around. This would seem to be up our PBS stations alley, so maybe we were just busy for several years.

Yesterday we watched a couple.
Those of you that know me well may have realized I have no capacity for recognizing people. Even people I have met with friends may appear to be a stranger to me the next several meetings. Or I will realize I know them, but have no idea where from, or what their name is. Names are awful for me. I actually forgot the name of a guy I was out on a date with once. And once I am searching in my mind, the names only skitter further back from view.

Anyway, we were watching an episode and I realized I recognized one of the actors. Since these are over 10 years old and British, it is not that likely that I will know the actors that happen through the scenes. But I came up with the name, even before Carl realized who it was.

Orlando Bloom! He was a bad boy, and met his fate in the first 1/2 of the show. But he did show up in a few later memories of what had gone before.

We are about to settle in for another episode.
If you have not seen these and like murder mysteries, you have my recommendation.
