V. $ecret

Tags from Victoria Secret NO lines underwear.
I put more information in comments.





These are shorts, from Dick's, that both my girls wear under short skirts and dresses.
These are a very silky fabric and very form fitting.
Both girls need a medium.
They have them in black and in gray.
There are some shorter and some longer,
the girls wear the middle length inseam which I think is 5".

Last season of Lewis started last night (in the states)

The first series was Morse. They are all currently on Netflix. Oldest and I have both watched all (33 episodes, 8 seasons) of them. PBS and great (in our opinion).

When Morse stopped, Lewis (his sergeant) continued on PBS. Really great, maybe better than the original Morse, in my opinion. It is that series, Lewis, which is winding down now. The first seven seasons are free on Amazon Prime, for members. The last season, currently playing, is on PBS for free or Amazon Prime for a fee.

Meanwhile, a younger version of Morse, called Endeavor, started. The first two seasons are available free on Amazon Prime as part of their package. The third season is available for a fee. I happen to love Endeavor, but not everyone does.

Netflix = everything is free on their system for their members. Not everything is carried on Netflix, but if they have it, it is free for members.
Amazon Prime = somethings are free for members, other things require a fee. So instead of not carrying things, they carry them for a fee.

Stargate (again), Veep, and Downton

Youngest and I watched Stargate (SG1 TV show and the related movies) in the days of checking DVD's out of the library and waiting for Netflix DVD's in the mail. A marathon in those days was 2-3 shows in a row when we scored at the library on the same day the mailman was beloved.

I am rewatching the series on Amazon prime right now. The series will take me a long time, because I fall asleep part way thru at bedtime and then watch the second half the next night.

(I always have wondered if Kurt Russell was sorry he didn't stick around for the series (he did the first movie). Richard Dean Anderson is such a good fit that I always have wondered if the series would have faired as well with Russell.)

Meanwhile, my husband really wanted to watch Veep. Also on Amazon Prime. I thought I would love it because I adore Julia Louis-Dreyfus. I tried. Maybe as many as the first ten+ shows, so I really tried. I can see why other people, my husband included, think it is very funny. It just makes me sigh or cringe, depending on the episode. My favorite character is Gary Walsh (Tony Hale). His attention to detail and ability to take care of her is clever and sweet and funny. But the rest of it just isn't for me. I stopped part way thru the roast episode because I did not think I could bear whatever was going to happen with her song. Season 2 episode 4. So, I am done. My husband watches things I do not like when he is on the elliptical. So I hope Amazon Prime is on our Roku system.

Also on Amazon Prime is Downton Abby. Middle did not see it when it aired. She is loving it now. I think she might be on season three already. (Being PBS, it is short seasons. She is going to be very sad shortly, because I think there are only eight six seasons. Finding a great series and then having it end, with no more, is sad. Be careful not to say anything that would be a spoiler for her. Somehow she knew nothing about the show.) I think she has two more weeks before her boy is back on campus. It is a good end of summer show. I had to talk her into trying it. But it hooked her immediately.
