I have been late to bed for some days as I have been watching re-run of the Danish film "The Killing" which I missed when it was first shown. Although the story is dire I am utterly hooked. The acting is superb. I really live each moment with the characters and I can hardly wait for the next instalment. The detective wears the same jumper from Goodrun & Goodrun of the Faroe Islands each day as the story unfolds. Did the producer think we would not recognise her in another outfit or did the actress just love the jumper?
During the war (my war) I knitted a pair of mitts in that self-same pattern. It was called "snowflake".
I am about to write a protest to the BBC about their proposal to cut down on BBC4. It is so often the only channel worth spending time with. I look at BBC4 programme listings before anything else. Even programmes about which I think are beyond me e.g. "Maths" or Astronomy are so well presented that I find myself watching to the end. Here ends today's rant!

Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.
