Hence the lack of a new blog post....P. J.

Thanks for the good news there!<br /><br />Gerry, your comment today, as is often the case with your observations, strikes me as very poetic. Also, there's nothing wrong with crafts. I don't have the nimble fingers for crafts but enjoy other people's work, especially quilts and knitted caps and socks.P. J.

I'd like to weave it into a tapestry. (I have fits of Craft Obsession in the winter. Not to worry. It will pass.)<br /><br />Sometimes I think writers create such a distinct sense of place that all their work, no matter the length, seems to be part of the whole - a familiar place I'm glad to visit again, even if I don't know who might have moved into town since my last trip.<br /><br />Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-53236037712303788112014-01-14T13:35:05.802-08:002014-01-14T13:35:05.802-08:00Pamela, Martin Clunes, the actor who plays Doc Mar...Pamela, Martin Clunes, the actor who plays Doc Martin, is a well known dog lover. He made a documentary series, A Man And His Dogs, which is being repeated here on television at the moment. He has also written a book about his own dogs called It's A Dog's Life. He said in an interview that when they are filming Doc Martin out of doors there is usually a small crowd of spectators, some having brought their dogs. He said he can't resist going up and talking to every dog who comes to see him. It must be difficult for him to play the part of a man who doesn't like dogs, especially when they so obviously like him! Kathy in Oznoreply@blogger.com
