usedtobeljsFifteen things for 15 June and my fifteenth post of the year:
1) My fave Alex Jennings has been given a CBE in this year's Birthday Honours List. Hurray for Alex! Well past time!
2) Other cool folk have been honored too, like Dame Imelda Staunton, but let's be real, we know where my heart lies.
3) It's amusing me that this is the "birthday" honours list, because KCIII's actual birthday is in November, but I guess this is his birthday observed.
4) After sustained hideous heat, the subtropics where I am have transitioned to ordinary hideous heat. However, we're not getting the rain we need, and I miss it.
5) No real news about stuff I've watched. I'm behind on Doctor Who (although I caught the episode with Rogue, which was cute), and I haven't started Bridgerton Series Three yet.
6) This is because instead I've been slowly getting through more of The Tunnel, also known as Let's Torture (Emotionally and Otherwise) Karl and Elise, the Show. I've now watched four episodes of the final Series Three and, because I read Wikipedia and know the ending, am not entirely sure I have the fortitude to finish the last two episodes...
7)... Even though Stephen Dillane suffers so prettily!
8) We will see.
9) The Night Manager Series Two has just started filming, but that's a year away, and heaven alone knows when Dalgliesh Series Three comes out (although it has FINISHED filming).
10) Am contemplating another Medium blogpost about style, but while I'm thinking, I've also been sorting through clothes to send to Goodwill and clothes to send to ThredUp.
11) In the ThredUp pile for consignment will also be a v.v.expensive handbag that I still think is cool but does not work for my life, alas. Better to let it go to someone else than to stay in my wardrobe.
12) This summer has been profoundly expensive, I must say. First, a new roof; this past week, several thousand dollars of tree-trimming.
13) Besides the fact that I don't want to retire in the subtropics, this house will be too expensive to maintain once I've retired. Time to save for the move (in just under two years).
14) So my summer projects are writing, cutting back on Diet Coke, and taking a bunch of Pilates classes, none of which are interesting to record here at Dreamwidth.
15) Let us close, then, by saying that Miss Adventure and I wish you a happy third week of June!

I can't read "King Charles" without thinking this.
Want Dalgliesh!
