A Dickens classic -- will play over the next 5 weeks on PBS Masterpiece Classic.

Andrew Davies was one of the writers -- he blotched up the ending (changed it!) in A Room With A View. He also had all sorts of allusions in some of the other classics he updated recently -- none of these ever in print at their original time.
I do not think the original authors would agree with his updated presentation s.

Let us hope that in this series, he presents it as it was written but we shall see -- he seems to have many tricks in these productions that leave some of us horrified!

Here is a good article that gives an overview of Little Dorrit.

   Since it is suppose to be around 50 degrees around here this weekend, I am going to spring clean and start to organize my yardsale (end of April or May).

This MSN article will help me get things clean and nearly germ free (got to have a few good germs around that eat the bad ones).

Every few days, I do go around the house with a few paper towels and the Lysol spray cleaner and wipe down door knobs and cabinet pulls, plus the refrigerator and freezer doors.  I think this has help reduce our colds in the house.

I am going to have my children read it too, maybe they will keep their spaces cleaner?  More likely, they will only "think" about what they read for now.
