Another Cold - Another TV Marathon: Doc Martin

Doc Martin Opening Theme (Extended Version)

My mother hasn't been sleeping regularly...

and so, as a result, she got a cold.

She has a bad habit of staying up all hours and watching TV.

However, as she has a cold now...

we started on another TV series marathon...

from season 1 - episode 1...

until the most recent episode.

I have always loved this series...

Doc Martin.

It is available on HULU in its entirety.

We watched episode after episode...

until we got hungry.

I ordered an extra large pizza and we poured ourselves some 

ice cold non-alcoholic beer to go with it.

We just continued to eat and watch Doc Martin

until I got sleepy and went home.

We have been watching this series for the past 3 nights.

Last night, we made Somen and shrimp cocktail...

and watched episode after episode.

On this night...

we got some great fire grilled chicken...

and very good chicken soup for my mother...

and watched more episodes.

Whenever my mother gets a cold...

this is our routine.

We will get a lot of food...

and just watch a great TV series together.

For anyone wanting to see a great British light comedy drama...

Doc Martin fits the bill.

The acting and writing is first class.

It is so highly entertaining.

The leading male character (Doc Martin) is so funny...

well, at least everyone's reactions to his perfectly logical actions are...

and the leading lady character (Louisa)...

has a great and understated natural beauty and grace about her.

You will be rooting for them to get together.

---------

Even when one gets ill...

have a plan of entertainment.

Make illness just something which makes you slow things down...

and enjoy yourself in other ways.

One of the great privileges of retirement

is to take in life's great simple pleasures...

and enjoy yourself without guilt.

Good food...

good fun...

you have earned them.
