A new-to-me Richard Armitage character has just joined the ranks of my all-time favourites. And this character is not seen, but only heard! In the words of his boast asserting his warrior status, he is: Uhtred of Bebbanburg... The man who killed Ubba Lothbrokson by the sea... The man who spilled Svein of the White … Continue reading Rich’s of the Past: The Lords of the North Audiobook

Two Shows Behind… Berlin Station
Finally, I was able to watch the Season 2 premiere of Berlin Station which aired in Canada on Monday. It is so frustrating to once again be two shows behind the US, in large part because I'd love to take part in the on-line discussion when it's happening! Even avoiding the posts marked with "spoilers", … Continue reading Two Shows Behind… Berlin Station
What I’ve Been Watching
It seems to be getting harder and harder to find something that both my husband and I want to watch. His taste is more towards superheroes, and mine veers more towards... well... Richard Armitage! But sometimes we have a meeting of the minds. (Movie stills from IMDb) Handsome Devil (2016): (On Video on Demand) I'd … Continue reading What I’ve Been Watching
The End of Orphan Black
So, NOW what do I do on Saturday nights? I'm a bit sad that one of my favourite TV shows, Orphan Black, came to an end two weeks ago. On the other hand, I'm glad that they knew when to end it -- the story had been fully told and the characters' situations were satisfactorily resolved. I … Continue reading The End of Orphan Black
Sir Guy Sees the Total Eclipse
It's still August 22 in Vancouver, as the birthdays of both a family member and an actor continue. Happy Birthday to both! And many happy returns! Yesterday's total eclipse put me in mind of Season 3, Episode 1 of Robin Hood. This is the moment when Sir Guy sees the total eclipse of the sun... and then … Continue reading Sir Guy Sees the Total Eclipse
August Birthdays
I know many of you are thinking about Richard Armitage's birthday coming up on August 22. In my household, however, we are celebrating two other birthday's this week! My husband's birthday was this weekend and, at his request, I cooked chili for dinner and we finished off with his favourite dessert, vanilla ice cream with … Continue reading August Birthdays
Liebster Linkage & Recap
A couple of months ago, Esther kindly nominated me for a Liebster award. I happily jumped in to give my answers to Esther's questions and to nominate another eight bloggers that I would like to know more about. Four of my nominees have responded to date, so I thought I would do a recap of their … Continue reading Liebster Linkage & Recap
So after I Kicked the Ottoman…
On Wednesday evening, I was walking through the family room with my attention elsewhere when I caught my toe on the leg of the ottoman. The pain was unbelievable and I figured I had broken it. Ice and elevation helped a bit, but by the next morning I was only able to wear flip-flops (Ralph … Continue reading So after I Kicked the Ottoman…
Castlevania and a Smoky Vacation
With my family's permission, I co-opted the first two evenings of vacation viewing for Castlevania on Netflix. That wasn't too difficult since they all play video games, and my husband is a particular fan of vampire movies and certain animated shows. I am happy to report that we all enjoyed the show! We arrived in Osoyoos … Continue reading Castlevania and a Smoky Vacation
Rich’s of the Past: Robin Hood Audiobooks
While driving to and from work and wanting to distract myself from the news on the radio, I decided that my ears were in need of a Richard Armitage fix. Somehow the British male voice that I'd selected for Siri on my iPhone just didn't do it! So, not wanting to re-listen to the Heyer … Continue reading Rich’s of the Past: Robin Hood Audiobooks
