I wrote ~8K in five days!
*flexes muscles*
ALSO.
This is the SECOND short story I have written and finished in the last eight months.
I'm so pleased with myself. Maybe I should stick to writing short stories in the future...
(now I just have to type it up oh god).

I've got one episode of Above Suspicion left!
I am absolutely convinced that I have seen series two and four really recently, because they seem really familiar. And given that they were on seven and five years ago respectively, I wouldn't think I would remember them so well? I can only think that me and mum saw them again back in 2014, when she was ill. I know she recorded a lot of stuff to watch back then (we got all the way through Bergerac and 1997 vintage Casualty, I remember, so it's not out of the realm of possibility).
I have been enjoying watching these, but some of the science/plot hooks/points are really hokey. But then again, I enjoy watching Silent Witness and, tbh, that's just as bad on occasion. (And really, sometimes I'm only watching that because of David Caves).
(Hahahaha, lawl, I just explained to mum that I'd been watching it, and she was all, "Yeah, it was a pretty good series, wasn't it?" and I sort of agreed. She also remembered that Ciarán Hinds had been in it, and I was quite surprised about that. Though I doubt she'll remember if we saw them again recently).
Anyway, they're good to watch if you don't want to think too hard about anything. The first two series have some pretty gruesome crime scenes (the very first one's deliberately so on purpose), but the other two don't (although the third series opens with scenes of surgery, which isn't pleasant). As I mentioned on twitter, there's some shipping going on, but the most overt it gets is hand-holding and a kiss. I mention this because IDK what the age gap is between the characters concerned, but between the actors in question, it's 24 years. (It's also bordering on abusive because Langton's a twat, let's be honest, and he treats Travis just as badly as everyone else). I'm also mentioning this stuff in case it's the sort of thing you do not want to see on your telly screen should you choose to watch it.
