Have a good day.
* In Fabric is definitely worth watching, Olga: Fatma Mohamed as Miss Luckmoore … ? Is unnervingly good!
Either way … ? Watching some of Dario Argento’s work … ? Is something I keep meaning to do.

^ It’s my pleasure, Edith: and you’ve always a place, here … !
Q1) 1863
ReplyDeleteQ2) Virginia
Q3) 35th
Q4) Nevada
Q5) Kanawha (I must say I quite like Kanawha).
Q6) Mountain State
Q7) True
Q8) Baseball
Q9) The Charleston
Q10) Take Me Home, Country Roads ( I love this song. I think I’ve confessed to my love for country before. Their songs usually tell a story, and I love a good story).
I'll check your recommendation. I know I mentioned I'm going away with my mother next month, but I couldn't remember if I had told you the dates. We're leaving early on the 13th of July, and we're coming back on the 3rd of August, but quite late. I might be able to connect with my phone and say hello, but although I intend to take my computer, I won't have a reliable connection there, so I won't be able to catch up with the quiz (even the phone connection can be temperamental at times). As the TV reception isn't that great (and we only have a pretty small and old TV there, in any case) I will try and download a few movies from Amazon Prime and take them with us, or a series. But finding things both, my Mum and I might like can be tricky. I am planning on going for many walks and reading, so that should do... I will remind you before I leave, so you don't worry if I go missing.
And don't forget to get a bit of rest yourself.
