It has taken me months to "retrieve" passwords to get back in here. Funny how I keep these passwords in safe places and write them encypted and then spend loads of time trying to decipher them. I try to protect my blog so very well, I even "forget" what they are sometimes. Anyhoo..
After my trip to Argentina (Buenos Aires, as usual), I stayed in Southern California most of the time.
With an occassional trip an hour or two to either direction for the weekends and spend some wonderful summer days with "R", enjoying our time together, taking pictures, looking for familiar and not so familiar restaurants to dine in.
Summer of 2015 is unusually HOT this year. Shorts and plain tees were mostly what was comfortable to wear this time around. Pants can be quite warm even for an evening wear. So shorts, it is. I also decided to keep my pixie cut hair. I love it when I get to spike them.
My vegetarian diet is still going strong, I have never craved anything so badly that I even thought of eating meat again. The idea or thought does not entice me anymore. I am happy with my veggies and fruits, thank you very much.
Yoga, is still a discipline I follow. Not as religiously as I did before. I incorporated a resistance band into the routine. I do lots of core workout, though. Some basic 10 minute workout three times a week works very well with me.
But, let me tell you about the best part about my Summer of 2015. I found, the ever so lovable "Poirot" portrayed by the ever so lovely David Suchet in Netflix. I watched every episode, at least twice, so far. From Season 1 until Season 11. Season 12 will be available in Netflix September 30, 2015. I can hardly wait.
I will not go into the details of the merits of this wonderful series. Everything that "little Belgian gent" by Agatha Christie, except to say, it really made my Summer of 2015 so exciting and complete.
I sat and enjoyed every little bit of Poirot's little grey cells at work and play.
David Suchet is great. I love the man and his portrayal of Poirot. I cannot remember the last time I was so glued to the telly watching and rewatching each episode. I made my schedule for the day around watching at least 2 episodes, until I've watched them all. Thank you BBC.
I have peppered my language with Poirot's choice words and phrases. That is how he has affected me so much. "R" is amused by my taking a keen liking to this ever so kind human being. He is as real to me as the table I have before me. He is a true entertainer, David Suchet. He makes me think, memorize and be in awe of what is happening around me. His influence is profound. I hope to see more of Mr. Suchet's work in the future.
I have always been fascinated by the French language and now thanks to Poirot, I have a substantial repertoire of French phrases that I love saying...accents ala Poirot, mind you.
Of course, I have to also mention my admiration to the ever affable Capt Hastings, so efficient and devoted Miss Lemon and Chief Inspector Japp, and in the latter part, his butler George. I am so giddly with delight of the whole ensemble. Such perfect casting. What is there not to love, huh?
All I can say is, go to Netflix binge watch Poirot, you will never feel guilty about ever watching quality TV ever again. I mean intellectual shows on TV are so hard and far in between if ever at all that we find them today, but Poirot...is Poirot!
Summer of 2015 is memorable for me, in so many levels. Personally, a lot of things have happen but Poirot was pure delight and joy. Sometimes, I even think it kept me sane. Watch and learn lots of things. Never a dull moment watching Poirot, I tell ya.
Well, get to Netflix and enjoy David Suchet's brilliant portayal of Poirot.
You can thank me later. Have a good Tuesday, and see y'all back here tomorrow, ok?
