I didn't stop.... 😉

 

[Gravity Aided]

I have been watching "Waking the Dead", not to be confused with "The Walking Dead".

I never quite understood "The Walking Dead" until I read that TWD takes place in an alternate dimension with no history of zombie lore. Still too violent for my tastes.

This is the kind of danger I live with, every day....

I only watched one episode of TWD, as you say, too violent. "Waking the Dead" is about solving murders, and the motives, etc. The team solving the cases has very strong characters, including Trevor Eve as the Lead.

Sue Johnstone is in it as well.

Waking the Dead (TV Series 2000–2011) - IMDb

Another good series had Philip Madoc as the lead, called something like A mind to Murder/With Murder in Mind.

Edited to add: Found it - "A Mind to Kill" A Mind to Kill - Wikipedia

Just walked around the block in the snow .
Would love to have gone further

About an inch of snow here. I must get my Wellington Boots out of the garage, and warm them up in the house.

Warm them up so I can wear them, not just because they are lonely in the garage.

I got 3 miles done, around Ling's Woods and the deserted playground and football pitches..
An enjoyable walk, really, in the snow watching kids lobbing snowballs at each other 🌨

I cannot sit here all day, talking about tv programmes, the weather and jokes about frogs. I have things to do, like sewing or listening to "Celtic Connections". Second episode of "Finding Alice" this evening @biggs682.

Do any of the buildings have flood prevention panels fitted?
Slide down a slot either side of the doorways, inserted when needed.

I must admit that I haven't paid attention to see who has what kind of defences. An issue with many of the older buildings is that they have cellars, so if the water gets into those it comes up regardless. The newer buildings in the flood prone bits of town are mostly built up so the water can't t get inside.

On a lighter note, some snaps from my walk today:

Ah that one! Not to be confused with the one set on a Caribbean Island.

@Speicher we shall be watching it .
Just put a banana loaf in the oven to cook so a slice of that and a cuppa tea this afternoon will go down well .

Cold, still and sort of snowing here chez Casa Reynard.

The big news of the day is that mum had her Covid jab this morning - the Oxford one. In other news, I have made a big pot of minestrone soup

I am now watching Chelsea v Luton Town in the FA Cup.
