Down On Ferry Farm

I've been away. I just got back into town. I was working. It was a long and tiring week. It was longer than it needed to be. It was more stressful than I thought it would be. I had some chances to relax but was still tired. Those DVD's of "As Time Goes By" are still sitting here. I haven't been away from my house for a week in quite some time. When I got back home there was a mysterious smell coming from the kitchen. I left a dish in the sink and it 'turned' on me. I ran a load of dishes in the dishwasher and everything is back to normal.

I mentioned not having anything to watch since most of the ‘regular’ programming is in summer re-runs and they suggested I watch this series. At the risk of sounding like my parents, it is actually a good show… I guess I should say ‘was’. It ran from 1992 to 2005, 10 seasons – or what the British call “series”. Each
