The visitor

I didn't do much yesterday. Cleaning off David's desk. Lost of stuff to move around and I guess sell? I think I was so anxious about election day, it emotionally me out more than I had realized.

I noticed a BUTTERFLY landed on the patio door. Just sat there for awhile. I hired a very nice man to mow David's grass the  day before and it never looked so lovely. I took this as a sign that David was visiting me. I mean, a butterfly I have NEVER seen in this area (we have only had a white cabbage butterfly in our yard for 30 years, no other kind), on a cold November day? Granted the sun was out and it  was cold and beautiful. It was a Red Admiral. I think it was a sign of David checking in on me. That is how I felt when I saw it land.

 

I watched a series on the recommendation of FB friend - The English on Amazon. It was very hard for me to watch. So much violence and death and killing. I drew comparisons to today's crowd of gun-toting, white-is-right, racist crowd. But it is so beautifully filmed with such compelling good guys (and repulsive bad guys), I could not turn away. 

"An epic chase Western, The English takes the core themes of identity and revenge to tell a uniquely compelling parable on race, power, and love. An aristocratic Englishwoman, Lady Cornelia Locke, and a Pawnee ex-cavalry scout, Eli Whipp, come together in 1890 middle America to cross a violent landscape built on dreams and blood. Both of them have a clear sense of their destiny, but neither is aware that it is rooted in a shared past. They must face increasingly terrifying obstacles that will test them to their limits, physically and psychologically. But as each obstacle is overcome, it draws them closer to their ultimate destination—the new town of Hoxem, Wyoming. It is here, after an investigation by the local sheriff Robert Marshall and young widow Martha Myers into a series of bizarre and macabre unsolved murders, that the full extent of their intertwined history will be truly understood, and they will come face-to-face with the future they must live."

   

The next viewing experience I fell into or rather, clicked over to was Mrs. Palfrey At The Claremont. I cried. I think the idea of death was making me very sad. 

"All but abandoned by her family in a London retirement hotel, Mrs Palfrey (Joan Plowright) strikes up a curious friendship with a young writer, Ludovic Meyer (Rupert Friend). Fate brings them together after she has an accident outside his basement flat. The two newly found friends discover they have a lot more in common with each other than they do with other people their own age. Ludovic inadvertently leads Mrs. Palfrey through her past; Mrs. Palfrey inadvertently leads Ludovic to his future."

   

The next was The 355. A collection of ass-kidding internation females spies track down an object that could destroy the world. Okay, it was entertaing. I was doing others things while this was playing.
