Her Majesty the Queen(s)



We've had a surplus of Queens on the home entertainment docket.  In January, Netflix streamed season two of "The Crown," a series about Elizabeth II.  Each season will cover a roughly a decade of her life, so Netflix has a long way to go.  We didn't binge watch, but whipped through pretty fast. The actors playing young Elizabeth and Phillip were fabulous, but now a new (older) set takes over for season three.

We're also watching the second season of "Victoria" on Masterpiece Theater, but have to wait a long week between episodes.  Then last night, we watched the DVD "Victoria and Abdul" starring Judy Dench.


John is a real good sport about recording (and watching) all these historical dramas.  Although now and then, he asks me to put a guy movie on the Netflix queue, like the new western called "Hostiles." I'll probably have to keep my eyes closed through most of it.

What else is new in Seattle?  We are sopping wet and unseasonably warm. It hit 57 yesterday and has rained every day for the past 15 days. Every pot and brick in the garden is covered with pretty green slime.
