I might have made a new friend in the real world! It’s quite exciting as that doesn’t happen often and I feel very lucky, if the friendship sticks.

Thandiwe Newton is an amazing reader! Her rendition of Jane Eyre is stunning. I’m currently working my way through her reading of War and Peace and it’s equally gorgeous.
She has a voice for each character and helps one dig into the stories. Listening to her, I’m not brought out of the story thinking of her as an actress.
I’d listen to her read the phone book!
Growing up I would hear people hating on her. But this was pre-internet so perhaps the World Wide Web has lessened the Willie bashing?
Willie in Temple of Doom. So what if she wasn’t cut out for the big adventure! She liked her life in Shanghai- dresses, performing, champagne, and nightlife. She didn’t ask for any of what happened next!
Haha- it’s always the shoes, isn’t it? I walk a lot and it’s really driven my footwear choices over the years. There is little crossover between the truly comfortable (hello, plantar fasciitis) and fancy stylish.
Though back in the day I would wear heels and tights for my retail jobs. Definitely helped me sell more!
I love this and wish people would still get more dressed up to do random stuff.
He’s such a whiner!!!
Hahah- i started calling myself a San Francisco conservative: absolutely left leaning but compared to the folks in SF I’m not blue enough.
Thank you for this suggestion!
Listen to music! Especially something that makes me dance, like 90s house music.
This answer is adorable and cheered me up. It works!
Ahhh, the Leg Tent! A favorite for our boys.
The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt! Really, all her books but this one especially.
And anything by David Mitchell, though my favorite is 1000 Autumns of Jacob de Zoet.
If you read these I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
I like a cotton/stretchy blend. Straight cotton would get baggy in the knees and butt, I think.
Now, unfortunately the stretchy stuff probably means micro plastics when washing.
Puff pastry! The constant fear the butter getting too soft, the (seeming) hours of rolling then resting in the freezer, the failure of witnessing the butter melt out in the oven was just too much for me, especially when the pre made frozen stuff is quite good.
That said, I love a challenge and have been thinking of trying it again.
Thank you! I hope you find good friendships along the way , too.
