1. I have new neighbours! They moved in on Wednesday, a young couple named Lisa and Phil. So far so good, but I have to get used to hearing people moving around upstairs again now - it's been so lovely and quiet since Samar and the kids moved out back in the summer.
2. I am loving the new season of Scott and Bailey.
3. But find I have lost interest in New Tricks - I forgot to watch it one week early in this new season and never quite picked it up again, and feel no urge to do so. It's a little sad, as I loved it so much, but with 3/4 of the original cast gone, I find my emotional bond with the show is gone with them.
4. Enjoying having Downton Abbey back, on the other hand, for all its manifold flaws. I suppose that's the thing about TV: everything is flawed in one way or another, what matters is whether what you enjoy about it outweighs those flaws. If the show captures you, you barely even notice the flaws, whereas if it doesn't capture you, the flaws are all you see. And then there are those that start out as the former but slowly become the latter - every show ever made exists somewhere on that spectrum!
5. tvtorrents has been down for ages. I didn't expect to miss it, as I watch so few shows these days, but because I can't dl anything without it (I don't trust other sites) I find I want to!
