A pretty ordinary day. A very cold one. Not just low temperature but big wind too so we couldn't really go to the playground in the morning. But for being stuck at home all day, it wasn't that bad. And we did take a small walk outside for about fifteen minutes around 4pm. But cold.

I watched the first episodes of the last season of "Downton Abbey" today. I read all the recaps when these episodes came out in the UK so I have the general plot lines but reading and watching actual episodes is really not the same.

Dowager Countess's take down of Denker was pretty hysterical. She really does get the best lines. Carson and Hughes had me swooning. When I read about this plotline I was very unsure but I loved everything about it - from the awkward conversations between Mrs. Hughes and Mrs. Patmore, and between Mrs. Patmore and Mr. Carson to Carson's confession of love to his willingness to let her go to the kiss. Just perfection. I just want Edith to be happy.

I finished my cross stitch tonight. Just the personal details are left but the baby needs to be born in about two months first. I will need to find the frame.

I've been trying to embed an image using both DW's image upload and my old HTML method of doing it but it doesn't seem to work. Let me try a link. I will figure it out another day. I downloaded the pics to Google pics. There must be another way. No, I just tried a link. The link worked but Google shows my whole real name. Argh.

Edit: Ok, I posted the pic on LJ. Here is a link: Train record pic

I guess I need a different place to download my pics too before I can upload it to DW or something.
