    What is the Connection

    Well, I'll go to the bottom of our stairs! It never occurred to me that it was an actual removals company and not a prop.

    Getting older?

    I've blocked tracking, but since my legs are so weak that I can't drive I have to hire transport. The company charges my credit card and sends a receipt, so that provides me with the same kind of record.

    Fed Up

    I'm surprised that the passengers don't look equally fed up!

    My Trip to Holmfirth #2

    Holme Styes reservoir? That's the nearest to Hade Edge, where Barry & Glenda lived.

    Fruit and Veg

    Mr. Crossland's overall fit him better than Crusher's did!

    Fetch a Cheque book

    In the city next door to my village, there's a huge supermarket, Wegmans, where you can meet and greet just about everyone you've ever known. The aisles are often blocked by folks chatting, and nobody objects. The standard retirement line at the company I worked for was, "See you in Weggies!"

    Fetch a Cheque book

    Good grief! On the other hand, several months ago there was a drive-by shooting only about three blocks from there, on St James' Gardens, just behind the Sikh Temple. I expect the price of the building is as influenced by the nature of the neighborhood as the quality and potential profitability...

    Fetch a Cheque book

    Based on the outside of the building, I never expected two flats upstairs!

    There's something new with every viewing!

    No, I didn't. Must have been paying close attention to the captions, in order to understand what you were saying.

    Looks as though they all froze!

    There's something new with every viewing!

    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.

    There's something new with every viewing!

    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.

    Where the Co-op is today

    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...

    Favourite Author or Writer of books

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

    There's something new with every viewing!

    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...

    Gastric's and Entwistle's jacket

    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.

    Have you noticed this

    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...

    Thank you All

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