Seems to be a lack of threads for blokes.
On other threads,some ladies have mentioned, their OHs
would post, but had no interest in most of the threads on offer.
I can bump this thead twice a day,so its easy to find.
Give it a go---Richo.

Gawd - it's freezing.

Doona finally went into it's cover last weekend - plus one fur - now cosy.

Fur lined duds now the go - and a gift of 5 Katmandoo merino ' spencers ' with thumb holes - amid other layers. 🤣

Have I mentioned before - I hate Winter - only 11 weeks to go.

Stawks - how's the - Great Wall ' - fixed. ??

Having trouble finding anything to watch - any ideas - anyone. ??

So far, I am not really feeling the cold, it is refreshing.

What i dislike though is how early it gets dark now.

I do some child minding for the grandkids, (different ones) Mon-Wed and whereas I used to drive in daylight, it is dark now on Monday (I leave home about 6.20am, get home by 6pm usually)

So I am on the countdown to 21 June as after that, the days start to get longer again. It's a mind game really though because cloudy and rainy weather makes it seem dark for months.

It's rainy conditions on the roads I hate, more than the actual winter temps.

Ccccccold… I don’t like it, but I do love winter itself. The act of curling up in front of the heater… of draping my cashmere merino blend stole around me and looking lovingly a the gorgeous peacock colour of it… of sipping hot chocolate… of the crisp clear night with a cold moon riding in the hunt… It appeals.

domino, I’ve zipped through Taskmaster (Australian one just finished - it’s ok – and UK one still running - wonderful madness). I can’t think of anything in thriller or crime territory worth watching now. Admittedly I’ve not looked hard.

Countess - it's been a while so purchased the original 2 series of The Bletchley Circle on DVD as it's not being streamed anywhere.

Will have a warm binge with DD on Sunday.

Still looking for something else.

Will take a peek at TM.

Thoroughly enjoyed Task Master.    Looking forward to the next series.

Dom, I recommend Dept. Q on Netflix - haven't quite finished watching it yet but really enjoying it.

[domino-710]

OK - will look into DQ - thank you.

Just made me - as an oldie guffaw.

[imastawka]

Dom, finished watching Q Dept.   An edge of the seat finish.

Based on a series of 10 books by the writer.  Sure hope there's more.

Another recommendation for you is The Residence - also on Netflix.

A very amusing who-dunnit.    Spot the Aussie game.

Also want more of this one.

The writer has written more. but Netflix has yet to pick up on it - maybe waiting for ratings.

Enjoy.

PS,  a bluddy freezing 13 deg here in Melbourne.

I don’t have Netflix… but according to Google, the first season of Dept Q is on DVD.

I would be very interested in watching it. I’ve read the books and watched the 4 movies based on the books, so if the series is anywhere near that quality, it should be enthralling.

My toenails are freezing! Melbourne is giving South Pole vibes today.
