One of my fellow bloggers just wrote a blog post with the same title as this one, but titled Dementia. It immediately struck a chord with me because I could easily insert my illness, bipolar, and have a very similar story. So I did just that. I guess I want to talk about bipolar and how […]
Onto my exercise bike this morning, and off we go with a new Netflix documentary series Chelsea Does… It’s so refreshing to see a female comic, perhaps the one of the most famous, addressing issues that are relevant to our world today. I watched the racism episode with curiosity and disbelief as Chelsea travelled around […]
“Thanks to my Uncle Tommy in China, we get another chance at this.” What? They left this in the script? How can that be? One of the great problems with The Martian is the writing. Because even after astronaut Mark Watney, played by Matt Damon, is left for dead on Mars, he manages to survive beyond […]
Let it be known that I have a soft spot for most things BBC including Vera, Sherlock, River, hinterland, and now best loved, there is Luther, or at least five seasons of Idris Elba playing the prize fighting cop on the edge of self-destruction. This series is so powerful and the writing so good that […]
What a treat to find Gary Oldman and Alan Rickman in the robes of Harry Potter The Prisoner of Azkaban. This third installation of the J.K. Rowling series might be the best of the first three, especially with the children growing up into their adolescent selves and watching their chemistry on-screen blossom. I remember reading […]
5. arrival of this gorgeous print that made my heart sing and reminded me of book 1 and all I loved learning about Marc Chagall 4. We started watching the Harry Potter movies 1 & 2 with my kids and had so much fun rediscovering the stories and the great cast. A note on Jason […]
I first spotted this new innovation of an old theme in the airport in Cancun. The girls in their early twenties wore them with undershirts and flipflops and they looked so very chic. Jumper bottoms or what we call trackpants are made of a thinner fabric these days, with pockets, that make them look more slouchy and like […]
The cast is pretty special with Stanley Tucci, Ewan McGregor and Nicolas Hoult, but this strange little fairy tale at times feels more like an episode of Lost than a story about a beanstalk. There’s the damsel in distress, so like Evangeline Lilly, and Hoult very like Matthew Fox. This strange world of CGI sets and […]
Bestowed to my blog by Alexa. Thanks for much. I’m just chuffed.
I can speak about France mostly because when I think about my future I am in France, and not for a week or a holiday, because it’s where I believe my life will take me. The funny thing is that France isn’t so far in my future now. I feel like a woman lives inside […]
