Crazy, right? And not just by a fire but smoking just before bedtime…hmmm.

But I remember as a kid worrying that suddenly I’d burst into flames leaving nothing but my cute pink slippers with my feet still in them!

Just took my first trip into Cultplex to see Universal’s The Wolfman. If you ever get the chance to see any older films on the big screen, do it. Positively gorgeous and truly a bit scary!

I can’t confirm or deny that this was one of the utterances that came out of my mouth…but it’s the one I can post on social media,

50 years ago the church told this young girl I couldn’t be a priest because, well, I’m a girl.
Don’t try to limit us, we’ll just keep at it until you change the rules. Congratulations Bishop - it will be an honor to serve with you as the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Another great one gone. The hours my mom and I spent watching Keeping Up Appearances are countless and precious. She could make anyone laugh. RIP and thank you for bringing joy to our world.

Talking Pictures TV @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social · 22d

Sad news folks. The great Patricia Routledge has gone to green room in the sky - she will be so missed. It would've been so lovely for her to have been able to watch her Z Cars episode on TPTV, which is coming soon. Rest In Peace dear Patricia.

Amy @aysquared.bsky.social · 22d

Can’t find anything wrong with that!

Love that movie, unsure I needed to know that much about snorkels, but good to keep Ben busy. 😁

I feel like I’ve officially arrived - at the local watching a game with some friends. I’d say I’m rooting for red but apparently the home team wears red so the team I support today is…black and yellow? Confused but very happy!

Amy @aysquared.bsky.social · 28d

A very profound observation. And it was, as always, great fun!

What’s missing?

I’ve noticed that I spend a lot of time raving about my new home life. I’m still in the “shiny and new” stage I suppose. That doesn't mean that there are not elements of my old home that I don’t miss. Several have come to mind recently. In fact, I plan to be sure to have all of them wrapped into my visit at the end of November.
