We saw the sun!

 We were onto another series on Amazon. It is called Origine (Origins), and takes place near Angoulême, France. It features views of the river Charente and it is beautiful. I like the listening to the French language and reading the subtitles, I am remembering some of my long-lost vocabulary. 

Anyway, in Season 2 they replaced the female lead, Mickey Sebastian with a younger actress. The chemistry is gone. We won't finish it, as the plot didn't grab us either. Ageism rears its ugly head as the producers messed royally to switch out respected mature, gifted actors with youth. 

We began a very dark Italian TV series: Thou Shalt Not Kill. There are no lighter moments to relieve the tension, and I find such a difference between this and other series. Ciao!

Speaking of videos, the town of Perth, ON, has begun posting YouTube tourist marketing videos! I don't know if you are interested, or if you want vicarious travel, as I do. It is a pretty town.

💐My Amaryllis now has three white blossoms! The Alyssum I seeded is coming along VERY s-l-o-w-l-y. I intend to put it into the terrarium. We shall see. 

My orchid has two long blossom stems coming out!

Here she is! It was a fundraiser for our local provincial park. The first photo is how the artist displayed it. I shall have to find a place for her. 

I cleaned my other heron, brought home from Halifax one year. Cinnamon seems quite concerned!

The heron pair is beautiful...can't wait to see how you install them...and name them of course! Loved seeing all your critters who do have names! Happy Valentine's Day!

On Amazon, I have found myself picking to watch Veronica Mars - never watched before due to it being "for teenagers"... and have found it quite delightful viewing! YAM xx

We have struggled to find good telly lately. At lunch we are watching an episode of Vicar of Dibley. It's an oldie but always funny. In the evening we have resorted to Law and Order from the mid-nineties, believe it or not. However, there will soon be new episodes of Vera, and The Voice is coming back for another season.

The amaryllis is great. Those are both new shows to me. They sound good!

I've been watching my way through NCIS and after Mark Harmon left the series is still okay but just not the same. He was replaced by someone just as good and it didn't take long to get used to him, but if they'd gone with anyone much younger it would have been spoiled. I'm almost done with it now having only 6 episodes left in the final season.
