 I don’t know what number I left off on, but I was stuck on how to continue. It was suggested I share some small things that make the list too.  Here we go.  Eating cold fish at 9pm listening to Bamboleo by the Gipsy Kings brings back memories that are bittersweet.  Shopping for self with just a pleasure to try on clothes I wouldn’t normally choose. They didn’t work, but enjoyed playing fashion model for a moment.  Being challenged in a workout, where I thought they were trying to make me insane felt good. Each session I realize doing hard things is where I thrive even when it is the bane of my existence.  As you get older, you thank God for living in America for creature comforts. Air conditioning and plumbing.  When I complain about aching limbs, I remember to be grateful to not be missing any.  Love one another and yourself.  from R's rue https://ift.tt/2AeDazI

The actor Éanna Hardwicke and the real Ben Field (right) . Is it possible to "binge watch" a television drama that consists of just four episodes? I am not sure. Anyway if it is possible, I just binge-watched a gripping drama called "The Sixth Commandment" - courtesy of our wonderful BBC. It was the dramatisation of a real life murder story. The victim was a retired English teacher called Peter Farquhar. He was murdered at his home in Buckinghamshire in 2015 by one of his students - Ben Field. This wasn't a simple common or garden murder, it involved great cunning and planning and chilling psychological elements of control, exploitation and cruelty. It is also believed that Field murdered one of Peter Farquhar's neighbours - a retired primary school headteacher called Ann Moore-Martin. However, there was insufficient evidence of this to convince the trial jury in Oxford in 2019. Of course I could easily rabbit on about the plot and bore you to tears but...
