The Wire


Wow, talk about the lull after the storm. The last week of August was particularly busy with lots of people around and lots happening. Now it's dead. Just the sound of jack hammers and compressors from the house which is being renovated next door.

So what was the answer? We have resorted to watching back episodes of The Wire to maintain a bit of adrenalin in the system. We've just started the fifth series and it's just as good as ever. Get it on DVD but start at the beginning, put subtitles on, and stay with it, but it's not something you'd watch with young children. It provides a fascinating insight into a fictional drug culture in and around Baltimore. As Jan said yesterday, 'what are we going to watch when this series finishes?' Excellent.
