astri13Since I`m home sick this week - thanks to co-workers who have been sneezing and coughing their viruses/bacteria all over me for weeks, I appreciate it, having a damaged lung and all since childhood, urgh - I decided to break in some new show and for whatever reason settled on Downton Abbey.
And um, not that it is bad or anything but so far it`s basically like a newer version of "Upstairs, Downstairs". I don`t know, maybe I expected something different? More? I like period pieces, especially in that time but somehow I`m missing a certain "oompf". Hm.

Though the situation of the proper noblewoman being seduced by some young pretty boy turned on its head when the guy croaked in the middle of it was amusingly bizarre.
And while he is pretty nasty, I feel a bit bad for Thomas, the footman with the bad taste in guys.
