Looks as though they all froze!

Now that I'm aware of the gnome attached to Nora's wall, I noticed it again last night when I watched the next episode, Jurassic No Parking. I need to scan back through the older episodes to see how long it had been there.

In my case, I wouldn't be surprised if it were because I need to pay less attention to the captions than during the first many viewings. I've nearly memorized the dialog.

That gasholder is in the background of a scene in Short Back and Palais Glide. The one on which the trio are standing in front of the locked doors to the library discussing how to find Wainwright in order to get access to Compo's house key. It's less obvious in that scene than in the old photo...

Barbara Pym. To my mind, her best novels are the earlier ones, although the later, darker ones are very good, too.

After having viewed A Short Blast of Fred Astaire umpteen times, last night I noticed an elf attached so it appears to be climbing the wall of Nora's house. It's at the top right of the frame, just over Nora's head. Colorful like a garden gnome, but cute and fun, in great moderation. I believe I...

Watch out for the fat content in beef suet. 15g of saturated fat per ounce. No trans fat, though, so it isn't all bad. Unfortunately, dishes made with substitutes to make them more healthful just don't taste good.

My former employer had fully climbed onto the quality bandwagon, so nearly every move anyone made was followed by a survey. It didn't take long to get surveyed out. Now I get one from each medical and surgical specialist I see, and from the hospital each time I've been a patient. The only...

The post-illness fatigue is a real bummer, but it will abate. Just give yourself time and cut yourself a lot of slack.

I've lodged in my favorite university residence hall in London several times during the Proms, and there have always been some middle-aged and elderly people from distant areas staying there specifically to attend those concerts.

I had heard of Chapbooks in my wanderings through history, but never seen them. This sounds interesting. I like your idea of sketch or photo books of people's travels through the LOTSW filming areas, too.

Happy to hear that you're that much improved. Onward and upward!

Wasn't that Tom Owen? Or did you mean the character, rather than the actor?

There's an extra hand in this one. Weird!

It was several weeks after my diagnosis with sepsis before I could consume anything more challenging than clear soup. Hang in there. I've read that full recovery from severe bacterial infection takes about 18 months.

Rest in peace, Dick, and may your survivors find comfort in remembering you.

That first few words of that line always remind me of the Captain's speech in the movie Cool Hand Luke. "What we've got here is a failure to communicate."

In region that I'm familiar with, south central upstate New York, they're called alleys. Could be different elsewhere in the States.

Does anyone have any idea what they're called in Nuneaton, where my English ancestors came from? Or in Tayvallich and Bellanoch, in the Knapdale area of Argyll and Bute, where some of my Scots ancestors came from?

Llandudno needs a scare-eagle like this one. And he's not kidding!
