It's strange; I never dreamed about him once in all the years we were together, and in truth rarely dream of anyone except my parents and sister (visitation dreams from Grandfather and Great-Grandmother don't count). So that was a bad beginning, and then to make it worser my happy day of idyllic outdoor play with my animals was disrupted. The county is cutting down a number of trees along our drive that were getting too close to powerlines, so there were men and chainsaws and noise all day. Which distressed the animals, but also me - I imprinted hard enough on Tolkien that any "felling of good trees" gets me right upset.
The bright spot in my day was Downton Abbey 4.02, about which
Did I post about the premier last week? I can't remember, but I'm more in love with the show right now than I have been since the very first episodes of the first series. Lady Violet was tremendous, and this is the clash between the men and the women, the old and the new, that I've been pushing for all along. Anna and Bates are getting better material with O'Brien gone, and I haven't found that I miss her, although I do wonder if she's not likely to come sweeping back in to the narrative in some grand and dramatic fashion.
I'm really on board - based only on what's being shown NOW - with Mary and Branson as a ship. In general, I find that I get on better with Branson if I mentally let go of the old canon idea that he's some sort of revolutionary. If he was just the driver who fell in love with Sybil and wasn't horrible at her and didn't leave her pregnant and friendless and just generally if the whole Irish revolutionary THING never happened.
