Back to snoozing and video's I think. The Horse Soldiers and Khorda's Four Feathers have been watched along with some Firefly, and Khartoum is part done. Zulu Dawn is queued up for later. I'll save Gettysburg and Master & Commander for the weekend if I haven't recovered by then.
But in the mean time there was a moment of excitement when one of our local pair of Eagles decided to have a picnic across the street. So, for all you Roman, French Napoleonic, Mexican and American fans (only 1 head so I didn't include Austrian fans etc): He was chased off by a neighbor's Border Collie once, chased off by a fierce Crow !! once but kept coming back. No keeping a fierce Imperial predator from a piece of carrion that dogs and crows wouldn't touch.
and the little ones chewed on the bones-O
Ross Mac,
ReplyDeleteI am only just catching up with my emails etc., and have only just realised that you are unwell.
I hope that you feel better soon, and I am sure that the films you are watching (a very good choice, I might add, and some that I also watch to raise my spirits) will aid you recovery.
All the best,
Bob
Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteWow, great pics of the eagle and youn'uns. That would cheer me up for sure.
I would love to get ahold of a dvd of Korda's version of Four Feathers. Sounds like some good movie-watching.
Thanks gents.
ReplyDeleteThe state of some of my VCR tapes is worrisome. I would miss that one to be sure. Odd to think that Omdurman was about only about as far in the past then as Viet Nam is now. No wonder they "got it".
Those eagles are magnificent birds, they look a lot bigger when they're only 10 feet overhead.There were 2 adults and 3 younger ones (2-4 years probably) by late afternoon, all picking the bones of some poor 'coon.
Had to go count the cats just to be sure.
