Dinner sounded lovely! Do you know the Marion’s kitchen website? She is half Thai and half Australian. I have all her cookbooks and the videos are super.

So Neil finally gets there via an excuse about motorcycle not working! The restrained writing style matches the two protagonists, especially Neil, very well. Now for their future relationship to develop….

So, I’m lucky, I know. I’m getting on free health service a treatment that would cost USD 122,000 per year. But the side effects are making me ask questions. I’ve had candida (oral thrush in mouth and throat) for nearly two weeks. Treatment is kicking in v slowly. Then decided to look up the side effects of my specific biologic, and hey, guess what it causes…. On a positive note, have finished part two of my story about love during Franco’s oppression. Awaiting my editor’s comments - he is currently in residence at The Beverly Hills Hotel.. too busy it seems for checking my work!!

I received a present recently of a beautiful book of six Grimm tales with illustrations by David Hockney. The stories make Mr Disney look like a sweetie!

I never forgave Walt Disney for the emotional trauma that film gave me. Years later my mother commented that there was always something cruel in his films…..

Yep, Medieval History in Oxford, many , many moons ago.

Just booked our “family” holiday to UK in September. I’m driving and we are so familiar with route and hotels that only two out of eight are new. It’s a 5,000km road trip. Don’t ask me what it will cost but roughly 1km = 1€…… We've decided that two adults and two evil wieners just can’t fit into the same bed, especially after 6 hours on the road. So, now it’s two rooms in a hotel or an apartment to cope. I just hope the dogs realise that there ain’t money for their expensive treats anymore!

Lucille Ball????

Should be in Munich awaiting next flight to Birmingham (UK).. Instead at home thanks to flights being cancelled…. My sister has dementia clinic appointment but won’t be there for her in person. Mine is just one of 14,000 flights cancelled in May going into/out of UK. I’m busy sticking pins into an orange-haired voodoo doll…….

!thank you so much for explaining, @methodwriter85, it was kind of you to take pity on an earlier vintage!
-
I must be old/non-American because I don’t understand any of this. (No reflection on @methodwriter85!) 😨

Same price here for aubergines 😂

I once had afternoon tea with Sir Alec Guinness, one of the original stars of Star Wars. Having never seen it I felt inadequate until he told the story of refusing offer after offer to star in second film. Once was enough! Okay, I’ll come clean. I was more intimidated by the afternoon tea routine.. why is milk such an issue?

How did I miss this gem of a story?!?

Why do I think of the line from ‘Hotel California’, “you can check out any time, but you can never leave”, when I think of the hospital? After eight day residency I escaped but tomorrow I am required to attend appointments at 08.30, 10.30 (same dept) and 15.30… Only benefit is I escape ‘walkies’ at 09.00. 11.00 and 14.30. There’s always a silver lining…

My dear mum used to say that we didn’t ruin her, she ruled us….. Probably true!

To my horror, I have just seen I wrote that I was the driver, I meant WASN’T. Our previous dog, Fosca, rescued from street, lived to 17.5. Like yours she was blind but able to have short walks on a lead, always the same little route etc. Sadly, she started with dementia and was distressed even when we were in the room. But. She certainly travelled, Spain, France, UK, Ireland…..

I know how you feel! We were at brother-in-law’s birthday lunch. Nice paella but the noise was up to 110 decibels. Came home stuffed and v well-wined (I was NOT the driver) to be greeted by the monsters. No destruction but a walk was demanded…. Then food….. then invasion of personal space as I try to snooze……

Another delightfully portrayed character enters our world, Maudie. I so like it when the ‘little’ people put a spoke in the plans of constructors!

Great chp. One question, is there a crowd scene in Act 2?it’s set in Scarpia’s HQ. A trivial fact: when I lived in Rome (above a motorbike repair shop that didn’t believe in siestas), I could see from the roof the sites of the three acts of Tosca, San Andrea de la valle, palazo Farnese and the Castel St Angelo. As a poor student it made an interest comment at dinners…. Or so I thought!

I fear I repeat myself, but the writing of Andy is utterly exquisite and the story seems to fit seamlessly into the historical Florence I studied many moons ago. Bravo. 👏
