Video purchase this week: the ABC Murders episode of Poirot, with David Suchet. This one was made in 1992 and, as far as I can remember, was particularly good. (They’re all good, though. Suchet is wonderful.) Anyway, we’ll be watching it later tonight.
This gives me a reason for mentioning the recent news story about the forthcoming Poirot episodes… four to be filmed this year, the first commencing later this month (Five Little Pigs). Rumour has it that Gwyneth Paltrow will appear in Death on the Nile. Suchet still hopes to film all of the original stories! (total so far: 49.)
Anyway: wow, the peak of the hot weather seems to have passed! I went out today to buy a bottle of Fanta, and I managed to get back home without being covered in sweat. Long may the mild weather continue. (Look, I’m not one of these people who walks around almost naked. I think the public at large should be grateful for that.)
I hope to spend this weekend thinking about Monday, i.e. the start of my New Deal course, as little as possible. I doubt I’ll succeed.
