Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed on Smorgasbord this week.
A quick intro today as I have very little to report on the home front.. the weather is the same, lockdown extended to March 5th and more travel restrictions in place. On the bright side, we did binge watch the last four James Bond’s to get ourselves ready to watch the new one when it eventually gets released.
We are also enjoying our foreign language series,particularly the Scandinavian shows, and amazing how quickly you forget the subtitles. They are also very well made and thankfully missing so much of the unnecessary chit chat that the English speaking series seem to contain.. in one show we watched last week 20 minutes of a murder mystery was spent with two of the detectives bickering in a car on their way from one scene to another.. I must be getting old…or grumpy… or both.
Anyway.. thankfully there are some great people around to cheer me up including William Price King and the hits of the 60s.. four guests join us this week in the special shows.. the first today and one tomorrow.. Hopefully more of you will join us with your memories of the music of the time as we move through the decades.
Also of course Debby Gies who has been sending funnies my way to share with you.. she does a great job.. And thank you for visiting and sharing the posts, it is very much appreciated.
On with the posts from the week..

I was trying to remember which book I meant to pick up earlier in the week. When I went through Sally’s round-up, I remembered it was this one, Stevie. Just ordered it. Looking forward to getting to it in the next couple of months.

Lol Sal, I had to laugh, I feel as though I’ve become a harsh movie critic lately, finding myself fast forwarding on the fluff. I forget what movie I watched, that was quite good actually, but had so much of what I call ‘timewaster’ time killer. I literally saw the time I fast forwarded to til there an actual dialogue of 8 minutes of filler camera panning a character walking. Major pet peeve, lol.
And thanks for another great week. ❤ xoxo

A lot of the long lived series like NCIS that we used to watch spend about half the show on fluff and I think they have run out of story lines.. we stopped watching Hawaii Five O because they spent so much time faffing about bickering in the car.. useless.. now you have set me off lol ♥♥

Thanks Jane.. and delighted to have you over as always… and if the tv and film producers realised how many fast forwarded perhaps they would make better programmes and films…it is lazy scriptwriting and plot development..♥♥
