Agatha Christie's Marple TV series, Will Mellor, Benedict Cumberbatch

 

I am watching the TV series that began filming in 2007 and that stars Geraldine McEwan. In season two I enjoyed seeing Benedict Cumberbatch as he was 15 years ago, very young and a dish, but I think he is more handsome now. 

 

Below shows Cumberbatch in the Marple show back in 2007.

In season 3 I watched an episode of Agatha Christie's Marple with Will Mellor in it, I love that actor, star of White Van Man TV series. Photo of Will Mellor below.

 

I just watched Season 3 Episode 4 and each time I watch the next episode I check to see how many episodes are left for me to watch. There are 6 seasons available to me and that makes me happy.

Do you like to know there are many episodes of favorite TV shows that you have not watched yet? Having episodes ahead to watch makes me feel like my pantry is full. Sometimes I hold off on watching the final episode in a series as I don't want it to end.

I only have a few episodes left of Lie to Me and of Professor T and don't want to watch the last episodes, but will one day. Do you have TV shows you feel that way about?

This morning I will be in Women's Bible Study at church, about 7 of us meet and study the book Discerning the Voice of God: How to Recognize When God Speaks by Priscilla Shirer. She has videos offering further insights for each chapter, and her father is the well known preacher Tony Evans. I am enjoy the study and learning.

Zug, Switzerland, Lady from Zug, and Alpenhorns

 

Long ago my husband and I took the train from Paris to Istanbul, and stopped in Switzerland on the way. We were in Zug, Switzerland on their National Day, or their Independence Day and above is a photo of Lake Zug. We had a moment when we saw a long canoe emerging from the mist on Lake Zug and a man was playing an alpenhorn which was about eight feet long. That was a moment of profound and unexpected beauty for these two young Americans to witness.

Above are some alp horns or alpenhorns, though I could not find a photo of an alp horn in a canoe. I read that people, especially shepherds, used these horns in the mountains to communicate over long distances. They just make one long low haunting and very beautiful note, or perhaps a couple notes or tones. Each horn is made of one or two tree trunks.

I had a nice experience recently involving Zug. I arrived early at my favorite coffee shop here in California (yes, the one on the ocean cliffs that I have posted about). I was meeting a friend and was early because I arrived early to find a table outside. All the tables were full and this friendly lady insisted I join her at her large table. She said she was visiting from Switzerland and I right away said, my husband and I had a lovely visit in Zug. She looked very surprised. She said she is from Zug. It is a small town. We had a great chat, what a nice meeting between the lady from Zug and me who right away mentioned Zug.
