Of course, I have been on the sofa all day again. I fancied watching Lorna Doone earlier, but couldn't find the remote for the dvd player. I watched the - much shortened to extracts - clips on You Tube, but then Tam phoned and told me I didn't need the remote for the dvd player so I watched it again in its entirety again. The Lorna refrain is so beautiful. It is now vieing with The 13th Warrior for most viewed film in our house (Keith loved the latter film).
Incidentally, the shooting of Lorna at her wedding to Jan Ridd was based on an actual happening, whem poor Mary Whiddon was shot and killed by a jealous former suitor, on 11th October 1641 at Chagford Church.
I have been feeling very emotional and run down today and had lots of tears on and off. I've had this bug for 10 days now. I didn't have the strength to drive down to town for some bread and so I forced myself to start off a half and half dough in the breadmaker, and now have a nice round crusty loaf baking in the oven.
I don't know what tea will be - probably just freshly-baked bread, although I did get a tin of Heinz Ravioli the other day, in case I fancied something quick (and not very nutritious!) It cost an arm and a leg too . . .
I had a cat-flap delivery this morning - my beautiful little piece of Dartmoor - the jug from Powdermills pottery and I am absolutely delighted with it. The natural colours are peaty and soothing. My connection with the moor and my ancestral roots.
