DH had to go again to his parents. leaving home at 6.30am on Wednesday. BiL has been building a new mobile home for them, and DH needed to go and help. He's popping home today for a couple of nights, nominally to see me but mainly because he has other things pencilled in for Monday night and Tuesday night.
On Friday night I wanted to watch TV, but there wasn't really anything on. I had a look at Amazon Prime Instant Video. We have access to it through the TV, but hardly every bother. I wouldn't have bought a separate subscription, but it was added to my Amazon Prime membership. I started to watch Alpha House. It was gentle, and mildly amusing - not laugh out loud funny, but an OK way to while away half an hour. I watched the second episode. And the third. And I carried on.
By midnight, I was far too tired to carry on, but I only had 3 episodes left of season 1. I watched them. All of them.
On Saturday morning, I had trouble getting out of bed. I was soooo tired all morning. I perked up a bit after some lunch, but then I had my cranky pants on. Just like a child!
My brother stopped by, so he could try out the machine he had just bought from me (more on that in a later post), and that helped stop me being so grumpy.
I decided to have an early night.
Instead, I watched the whole of season 2 of Alpha House. Fortunately I started earlier, so I was done by 11.30pm.
It's not really the sort of thing I would go for normally, so I'm not sure why I liked it. I think it was probably because it was gentle, a little satirical...and unexpected.
Probably a good job there isn't a season 3 yet, otherwise I'd have spent my Sunday watching that!
