For various reasons (hey, it's the weekend) I found myself skimming through a few of the Solar Pons stories. It's odd: they've actually aged less well than the original Sherlock Holmes stuff of which they're a pastiche, despite having been more recently written. Possibly because they're also less well written ( Read more... )

Have just been watching the new SherlockIn the interests of avoiding murder (mine) I will not go into details, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. So did my parents, who were watching along with me. I would have managed to knit a lot more if I hadn't been so absorbed by the action and dialogue ( Read more... )

I don't normally cook just to please myself, but in this case I might have a go...

A thought about the recent episode of Sherlock has just occurred to me.

( Those who have not watched _The Reichenbach Fall_ will probably not want to look under this. )

And now Sherlock is over -- well, until the promised third season. (Yes, there is a promised third season. Thank heavens.) So I will just spend the next few days watching the internet seethe and bubble.

Well, we didn't manage to play Ticket To Ride, but we did manage to watch Detective Dee. My parents enjoyed it, and my mother compared it to the new Sherlock Holmes (Game of Shadows) movie. Perhaps somewhat wandered from the original, but still a lot of fun to watch.

And we did see the new Sherlock last night. Oh yes. That was absolutely what I ( Read more... )
