Sunday

I slept late this morning and only got to see the second half of Coronation Street. After that I went for a walk for 30 minutes exactly. It would have been longer but the I-Pod quit. There is nothing wrong with it that recharging the battery won’t fix! When I first got it, I conscientiously charged it up every night but now I tend to leave it on the table until I need it the next morning. The really annoying part of this is that last night when I was warm and comfortable in bed, I thought I should really get up and connect the I-Pod up … But, of course, I didn’t. I was surprised how boring I find a walk to be a walk without music. The temperature was in the low 40’s but I was dressed for it even wearing two pairs of pants. I will be glad when the flannel-lined jeans arrive from LL Bean.

Around 12:30 I headed out somewhat early for my 1:30 massage but I wanted to go by the Unicel store since I had some questions about my telephone. There was no one there and while I was having sweet-smelling oil rubbed into my skin by Beth, the masseuse, I worked out the answer to most of the questions myself. However, I still need to drop in tomorrow and ask why my monthly payments are not automatically taken out of my account as I asked. It might be that it takes a month to set that up, but, anyway, I will go in there and find out for sure.

Fred was just complaining that there is nothing on television worth watching all week and on the weekend there are lots of good games so he has to click from one channel to another to keep up! There is very little I care to watch on TV over the weekend but there IS Masterpiece theater tonight. I think it is second half of the Life of Henry VIII watched last week. I actually know quite a lot about that time since his younger daughter, Elizabeth, is my hero. Last week it ended when Anne Bolyn was executed. Incidentally, do you know the little rhyme that tells what happend to Henry VIII’s six wives?

“Divorced, beheaded, died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.”

Until later…

The flannel lined jeans sound nice.

Ohh…the flannel lined jeans make me think about making pants for the kids when they were little! I always used to line the winter ones with plaid flannel, and make them long enough to cuff up! They were so cute! Try my entry again……I think I fixed it!!!!!!! Love you! ~M

I like reading about Elizabeth ! too. There was a really good many-part show about her on tv ages and ages ago; I don’t know if that was on Masterpiece theater or what. But it was good! Now around here Joe commandeers the remote control so mostly what gets watched is soccer, “Gunsmoke” (ugh) and “Orange County Choppers”… ah well! Weesprite

Glad I wasn’t one of ol’ Henry’s wives! Yikes!

All Cats Rule

its been really cold here too. I just bought myself a winter coat for 89 bucks! I felt soooo guilty. Bought it marked down from 150.00. But it will be so worth it when I have to get out of the car to walk anywhere! And now maybe I can take the dogs for a walk, even when its cold and snow on the ground.

his wives sure had a difficult time of things, didn’t they? flannel lined jeans….that sounds wonderful! take care,

i’m reading a good book about anne boleyne–“The Queen of Subtleties” by suzannah dunn. it’s written as if it were a letter to her daughter elizabeth–the night before anne was executed. good for you for going for a walk, even when it gets cold.

Hmmm – only having two wives executed shows great restraint on the part of Henry… lol 😉 Seriously though – I do remember that rhyme

Have you heard Rick Wakeman’s “Six Wives of Henry VIII”? You might like that music. Takes me back to the 70s, of course.

The second part showed here on Saturday night/Sunday morning (about 2:00 am). I found it by accident because it followed Regency House. Our PBS has lots of comedies, but any seriously good broadcasts are saved for the wee small hours of the morning.

I’d never heard that rhyme.

Are you watching the old “Six Wives of King Henry VIII?” It was on Masterpiece Theatre about 30 years ago. I hope you can wrest the controls to the TV away from your sweetie for an hour or so.

Hey, Patrisha — I watched this episode re Henry the VIII & Anne Bolyn though I fell asleep before the end. Fascinating, though. Oh dear, I didn’t know she got beheaded. I liked her a lot. Anna

I have never heard that little rhyme. I did think though that his wives sure would have enjoyed those flannel lined jeans in the drafty castle. No one would have suspected if they hauled them up under the big skirts.

I watched part of that and enjoyed it tremendously.
