The BluRay disc of The King's Speech won't load in my player - it gives the upcoming attractions then stops. I'd rewatched an old Charlie Rose interview with Firth and the director and was primed to watch - good thing I remembered seeing that it streams from NetFlix. Good save! (I always want to play Beethoven's 7th Symphony after watching it - they use the second movement so effectively during the speech itself.)

Lovely weather, good day for gardening and I'm going to start the day by walking the dogs. They get more attention today - I'll wash their bedding and police the grounds. I'll have lots of weeds from the garden to toss on top of their droppings and anything from the kitchen compost bucket.
