aaaahhhh!! cold shower alert!!! I’ve been waiting ages for you to post this, yey! How much do i love how he almost whispered the last words… Do I wake, or sleep?
Speaking of Ben Whishaw, I keep wondering if The Hour was picked for a 3rd season because that was a major cliffhanger at the end of Season 2.
John Keats, oh my. Love the Great Odes poems and the sonnets especially A Bright Star and Why Did I Laugh Tonight. So young to die at 25. Have to watch that movie.
By the way Sherlock 3 filming is underway. Fans in droves at the filming sites despite the cold, hope that does not delay the production because i want my Sherlock this year!!!. AArgh the pictures makes me hulk up— i.e.Green with envy!!!

It’s “Bright Star”. “A” ruins the meter.
