Thursday, October 12

We've been watching Inspector Morse for the past few weeks.  There are seven series and the one we're watching at the moment seems to date back to 1989 or 1990.  Certainly it is showing its age but is still much better than some of the rubbish which we're being fed today.

Last night's episode was set in Australia.  Most of the scenes were shot around Cowra and Canowindra but the opening scene of Morse and his offsider driving their Holden station wagon along a scenic stretch of Australia countryside was shot in Kangaroo Valley.  We rewound it to have a second look but couldn't pinpoint any particular location.  Of course, nothing of the village was shown; it would have been hard to overlook the pub or the bridge.

I can hear a plane passing over us as it descends to land at Launceston airport.  They've recently changed the flight paths so that more planes are coming in from this area. I suppose the fall-out from their exhausts might affect our washing but we haven't noticed anything untoward yet.  When we lived at Dilston, most of the plane arrivals crossed us and, after several years, there was a noticeable impact on the walls of the cottage.  That's somebody else's problem now.
