18 Things, Post #18

[usedtobeljs]

This is my 18th post of the year and this is 18 September, so -- 18 Things.

1) Reading: The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn.
2) Watching: Catching up on Only Murders in the Building, ready to start Season 2 of The Chelsea Detective on Acorn.
3) Knitting: very badly, a Christmas gift for my middle brother.
4) Looking forward to Season 2 of Loki!
5) Here's the first trailer.
6) Besides Hiddleston, there's Ke Huy Quan. Handsome guys in wild time-travel stuff? Sounds good!
7) Also, the 60th anniversary specials of Doctor Who! Doctor and Donna? Yes please.
8) Lastly, looking forward to the Audible audio drama of Slayers: A Buffyverse Story. SPIKE GILES ANYA CORDELIA PARALLEL-UNIVERSE! With CLEM!
9) I will just learn to listen to longform drama, which has not worked for me so far except for dramas on Radio 4.
10) Anyway, that's all good autumn stuff.
11) In style news, I love the images of Erdem's most recent collection, which honors Debo the previous Duchess of Devonshire and uses heritage fabrics from her archive at Chatsworth.
12) Would I be able to wear any of these clothes? No. But I like looking at them.
13) Otherwise, I am mostly recovered from Covid.
14) Back to Pilates last week! Back to normal-ish!
15) But I live in the subtropics, and it's still hideously hot and steamy, which is the Bad kind of normal.
16) Also I'm anxious about retirement, as my 401K equivalent has a spread of $12,000 in its projections for me.
17) Ugh. Numbers.
18( But hugs to all, and joy to you!

A good autumn to you, hugs!

Hugs and good things for you!

I will probably watch (and listen) to all of those things. I'm glad you're mostly recovered from Covid, hopefully it wasn't too bad for you.

[usedtobeljs]

Covid was no fun at all, but part of that was because I worked throughout it, despite cough and losing my voice and headache and fever.

But it's behind me now, I hope! Cheers for your autumn!

Hmmmm - those shoes in the collection look so completely impractical - although I do love the colours!

I don't have audible - it's a bit expensive, but I think I'm still eligible for a 30-day free trial, so I might do that just to hear Spike again...

[usedtobeljs]

I didn't like the shoes at all in that collection. But the dresses and quilted opera coats, yes indeed!

Cheers for you and your week!

Glad you’ve recovered from Covid.

I read The Whalebone Theatre last month and thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved the first series of Only Murder in the Building but we haven’t watched the second one yet. We’re behind with everything!

Also looking forward to Spike and Co on Audible.

Many hugs back to you :)

I just finished the second season of Only Murders..., so I'm still behind, too!

I am enjoying The Whalebone Theatre. :)

Let me know if you manage to go see Bertie Carvel in Pygmalion! ;)

Hugs hugs!

I'm glad you're mostly recovered!

I listen to audiobooks but tend not to get into longform audio drama, but I am curious about Slayers!

[usedtobeljs]

Slayers appears to be such a cool project. :)

Cheers and hugs, Gwynne!

How did this take me so long?

[alhbooks]

By now I trust the COVID is a thing of the hideous past and many things for getting me caught up with the upcoming Doctor Donna specials…too much happening to keep up!

All good wishes for a cooler and more autumnal Autumn and many hugs!

ALH! [hugs hugs] All good autumn wishes to you, too.
