I'm back.

After a week of being miserably ill (though not, thankfully, with The Swine), I'm back in action.

What a relief.

Being so sick that even piles of new books don't tempt me = not good.

I spent the majority of my waking hours (which were not many) watching stuff via Netflix Watch Instantly.  Highlights:

I watched Dogfight for the first time, and I loved it, and it made me sob.  And I think I would have sobbed even if I'd been healthy.  I'm still kicking myself for having put it off for so long.

And I got hooked on Wire in the Blood, which is based on some of Val McDermid's books (so now I need to read her!).  It's a great British gritty crime/cop show, though it's graphic enough that I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone. 

The two main characters have some pretty incredible sexual tension going on, but as I'm only partway through Season Two, I don't know if they ever actually act on it.  This trailer makes it look super cheesy and been-there-done-that, but it really isn't:
