Taking a rest
Harry is all tuckered out from his spy work and secret servicing Lady Butler, so he'll be taking a break this weekend in his Brooklyn mansion. But I expect he'll be back to his old self when he and I return next week with news of the next big Houdini event of 2014.

Certainly a well warned rest. Take it in good health :)
ReplyDeleteer, earned....well earned rest, of course (silly auto correct) :)
DeleteWell needed rest
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your hard work and advice. Much appreciated as always. Will watch the miniseries tonight on Channel 4 (UK). It's been advertised as "Drama" which I think is more apt than "History". ;-)
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Hope you enjoy, Narinder. I think some of us are getting a little carried away with the bashing. It really isn't THAT bad, especially when you're ready for the fictionalizations. And, remember, Part II is quite good, IMO.
DeleteBTW, do you know when Part II is going to air? Would like to including that in my story.
Part 1 @ 9pm tonight......Part 2 next Sunday 9pm Channel 4
DeleteThank you!
DeleteSo it's pretty clear I am unable to take a break, even when I promise myself. All the classic signs of addiction. ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's a healthy addiction. I just went out to collect a large 5 ft x 3 1/2ft framed print that I won on eBay rather than sunbathe. Now I have to make some space somewhere !!
DeleteMuch more important than sun. :)
