Hopefully. Just got the electricity bill from Ebico and the readings were so confusing. Day, night, R1, R2 .. all over the floor!

Just watched The Beechgrove Garden - it's very good. I really enjoyed the bit about irises, but was surprised that he didn't cut down the leaves.

I saw this in the trailers and I'm not impressed.

Birds of paradise is about Frank Gardner's quest to see birds of paradise in real life. And his enabler is Benedict Allen (surname could be wrong!) Of course, with a wheelchair, things can get very difficult, considering the swamp and muddy terrain.. The cruellest bit is about the initiation to the indigenous people which Benedict went though when he was a teen. You could die from it. The first one is a bit slow. But I understand Gardner's urge to see the real McCoy! Truly one on my bucket list ..

Watching Diana - in her own words. Very sad. When they walked through the isle in the church, there was this haunting music .. Tragic!

Spoke too soon. Simon Pegg appears and what he says is NOT fun at all.

On E2 of Birds of paradise. Didn't know that Frank Gardner had been so badly injured. He was shot about 5 or 6 times and he had bullet fragments in his body, metal rod in his leg and he has to carry colostomy bag. I really admire his passion and his desire to see through this arduous journey.

I cried when Frank Gardner said that his dad said he would go watching birds of paradise with him. He's no longer around. Such an expensive journey and he only captured 2 sightings. :cry::cry::cry::cry:
