This morning was nice... my husband brought me a cup of coffee in bed! A rare treat. We've been getting along pretty well as co-workers -- especially since we started using the trick I read on-line. We invent an imaginary co-worker to blame things on, as in, "That Felix! He left his coffee cup on … Continue reading Discoveries in the Time of Coronavirus
TV
The Escape: Home, Books, Movies, Etc.
Home again. I was greeted by the dog, who seems to only love me for the treats I give. He runs to get in front of me, herding me, hoping for something, anything. My younger son tells me that we need to do something ASAP about the wifi in his room and that he has … Continue reading The Escape: Home, Books, Movies, Etc.
Finally… A Good On-Screen Project!
**NO SPOILERS** The anticipation is over... Thursday and Friday evening, I binge-watched Netflix's The Stranger starring Richard Armitage. What a relief to find that the 8-episode series is actually good! The Stranger is based on Harlan Coben's book of the same name. Red Production Company, Coben, and Danny Brocklehurst have collaborated on two previous series, but … Continue reading Finally… A Good On-Screen Project!
I Wonder If She’ll Ever Meet Armitage?
I was browsing the internet a while ago (as one does)... maybe I typed in "I want to marry Richard Armitage" in a moment of weakness? Lol. Anyway... I came across this cute video from 2013 with an original song containing the unforgettable lyrics: "What I really, really, really, really, really want is to marry … Continue reading I Wonder If She’ll Ever Meet Armitage?
Richard to Rugby
Why would the guy who admittedly preferred to stay inside reading rather than play footie (or presumably other sports) with his brother remind me of rugby? Well, as I was mentioning to Kate the other day, there are these screenshots on RichardArmitageNet.com that show just how suited those legs and let's be honest, those glutes were for the … Continue reading Richard to Rugby
Pick-Me-Ups
One of my stocking stuffers at Christmas was a copy of Hello! Canada. The horoscope, unfortunately, resonated with me: "The task that lies before you may look so vast that you're tempted to give up, but ...you can throw your pessimism away. So roll up your sleeves! There's work to be done and you have the … Continue reading Pick-Me-Ups
Of Wine and Armitage
Wine and Armitage... two of my favourite things. In the summer, we travel every year to the Okanagan wine region of British Columbia for a beach vacation. Of course, we always have to throw in a few visits to the local wineries! Many of the wineries are located on high ground, with the best views … Continue reading Of Wine and Armitage
Castlevania 2 – Painter of Light?
What a treat to see Richard Armitage in a story on TV (and so animated too! Lol), rather than just hear him in an audiobook! The second season of Castlevania recently appeared on Netflix and I was really excited to watch it. It instantly engaged me, starting from the exciting theme song (by Canadian composer … Continue reading Castlevania 2 – Painter of Light?

A MARVELous Start to the Week
It was a pretty good day for a Monday. I started the day in the car listening to the third episode of Marvel's Wolverine: The Long Night. I'm continuing to enjoy it, as they weave in more characters, more details, and more pieces of the puzzle. Once again, there is only a snippet of Richard … Continue reading A MARVELous Start to the Week
