Life
Tired. Looking forward to week off work…5 days and counting.
Media
Shetland – belter of a series with strong actors and a great story. Unlike so many other drama’s it finished strong. Stephen Walters was amazing – hope it’s recognised.
The Funeral Murders – Documentary on the Troubles and the funerals in March 1988. Timing in amongst brexit negotiations made it feel all the more relevant. If you missed it catch it on iPlayer.
Lady Bird – loved it.
