I gave some friends a copy of season 1 of DOC MARTIN for Christmas. I knew one of them would like it, but wasn't sure about the other. They both loved it. When I first saw it I enjoyed it, but didn't think it'd have universal appeal. Apparently it does. I've been watching it again. I think it's brilliant.

Last year Vixdad received Season 1 - 4 of Doc Martin this year he received Doc martin : The Movies

About ninety minutes to contemplation.

I think that could be an Outside the Box.

Well, page fifteen is here. Anyone for twenty? We haven't done that in a 'coon's age.

I've been in London in January, Ginny, and it's COLD. Of course, I was coming from California, whereas you live in the Midwest. You may find it quite balmy.

One of the people I saw today was agent David Ankrum. We have two things in common - I played Adam in the Tabitha pilot and he played Adam in the series. I worked on Totally Hidden Video, and he joined the show in its final year.

Did some house cleaning (not that anyone would notice), laundry and had a negroni while watching the first half of "Under the Roofs of Paris," a wonderful Rene Clair musical.

They're all fun, but I like the series the best. I presume Vixdad is enjoying the Doc and company.

The Weather Channel app shows London 15-20 degrees warmer than it's been here recently. I have a fabulous new coat with a quilted zip-out lining that can be worn as a coat itself.

Via Facebook, I asked my cousin in Japan about 2013. He said, "So far, so good!"

Ginny, when are you leaving for London?

Day after tomorrow!

That soon?! I didn't realize.

Now I can say TOMORROW!!

Happy New Year, Everybody!

Have a wonderful time Ginny! Vixdad was born and raised in Coventry and Vixgrandad born and raised in Norwich - his family moved to Coventry during the war when HIS Dad was given a choice of joining the army or driving a bus in Coventry - they were considered equally hazardous occupations

The all-white Porgy and Bess was going to be a first season Outside the Box episode - I wrote it and it was planned and I'd talked to Jason Daniely and Marin Mazzie about doing it. But I finally had to not do it because using the actual Gershwin music, which would have been a must, would have been problematic. I had a great version of the show's big duet, Bess You Are My Woman Now.

FJL is probably writing a parody of one of his parodies.

Vixmom wins the lottery, quits her job, and has some money left after helping all the Hurricane Sandy victims.

OOOH! I hope Jeanne's resolution comes true!!!

Ashley 1991 just e-mailed me to say she'd seen my Facebook profile. All I had to do was click on the link...

I'm sure you'll be quite comfortable. The dampness does make a difference, though. When I was there one Aoril--in Weybridge, actually--I bought a couple Shetland wool pullovers and didn't need my winter coat. April is still cold to a Californian.

Thank you, DR Vixmom! We'll be in Norwich for a week beginning on Sunday.

I want the VIxter here - surely Vixmom did not let her daughter go out and get roaring drunk.
