Clouds drifting by

1. How did you name your pets?
Sometimes the names just popped into my head. Sometimes I had to think for a bit.

2. Poirot or Miss Marpel?
I like them both. (And it's Marple.)

3. Do you have a FB account too?
Yep, though I don't often use it.

4. Books - hardcover or paperback
Kindle, if I can. It's the easiest way to read for me.

5. Mobile(cell phone): Windows/Android or Apple?
I don't think my phone has either of those. It's a fairly simple one.

Amazon Video has the Robert Downey Jr Sherlock Holmes 2009 film for £3.99.

Day 94. What is one quote that inspires you the most?

I don't have one, but here are some of my favourites:

Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while.
The Princess Bride.

Be patient and tough; someday this pain will be useful to you.
Ovid

Do what you can, being what you are. Shine like a glow worm, if you can't be a star.

Your body is not who you are. The mind and spirit transcend the body.
Christopher Reeve.

I bought the book and read it the other day because the history book I was reading was being very dull.

It was good. In fact, it was very good, and now I'm sad I can't watch it. Even a fuzzy YouTube version would do. *looks hopefully at the universe*

I've been trying to watch this. I've read a bit about Victoria and especially her childhood, so I wanted to watch and enjoy this.

I'm rather disappointed. Why on earth have they included a subplot about an ex-prostitute lady's maid? So far, it seems to be a mix between a historical drama and total fiction.

It also seems to be shot in half-light a lot of the time. When they were putting in gaslighting, I was hoping that would brighten it up a bit, but they changed their minds.

I'd love to read more about Victoria's mother though. She was horrendous. She and Sir John Conroy (who ran her household) attempted to break Victoria's will so she'd have to depend on them. When that failed, they spread rumours that she was easily overwrought and feeble-witted.
