I'm a bit slow getting started this morning. The weather is miserable but we are lucky that it is not causing the floods that are besetting NSW for the fourth time in 18 months.
I looked up your Signora Volpe. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to be available here at the moment. It looks quite interesting.
I said I would tell you about the shows Andrew had us watching when he was here.
Hi Jack
I'm back at work today which is a bit of a shock to the system! I had a quick look at your weather forecast & it looks like it's cheering up & warming up towards the end of the week. I'm pleased to hear you're not suffering any flooding. Our weather is also getting much warmer as we head into the weekend.
It's a pity about Signora Volpe - hopefully it might turn up at some point. I like the sound of Slow Horses but I don't think Bosch is my cup of tea. As you know I'm not very good at anything that includes much violence. I tried to watch Detectorists some while ago but only lasted about 10/15 minutes. I loved Last of the Summer Wine (especially Compo, Foggy & Clegg
) so I think I'll give it another chance. I'm a bit of an old stick in the mud
I haven't found any of the newer sitcoms that make me laugh - I tend to watch old stuff. I'm re-watching Dinnerladies at the moment for the umpteenth time.
A man walked into a pub on a slow night and sat down. After a few minutes, the barman asked him if he wanted a drink.
He replied, "No thanks. I don't drink. I tried it once, but I didn't like it."
So the barman said, "Well, would you like a cigarette?"
But the man said, "No thanks. I don't smoke. I tried it once, but I didn't like it."
The barman asked him if he'd like to have a game of darts, and again the man said, "No thanks. I don't like darts. I tried it once, but I didn't like it.
As a matter of fact, I wouldn't be here at all, but I'm waiting for my son."
The barman said, "Your only child, I'm guessing."
Just over an hour & I can go home for a cuppa
