I am a no-nonsense librarian.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Interesting link! It looks like there used to be a billboard over the upper part of the sign. I'm glad they removed it so we can see the whole thing now!<br /><br />Red: Yes, definitely! It could be that when Olga is antsy to get up, she's hearing another animal outside or some other activity that bothers her.<br /><br />Jennifer: There's possibly nothing I like more than staying in and eating soup and watching an old movie.<br /><br />Robin: It was!<br /><br />Catalyst: Sometimes we just erase our DVR and start over. It gets impossibly backlogged!<br /><br />Sharon: I've never seen the British "House of Cards" -- though politics is so crazy over here at the moment I wonder if we might be living it!<br /><br />E: I'm not bored with them, but I always imagine my readers might be!<br /><br />John: Winnie's antics are ALWAYS entertaining! :)<br /><br />Ellen: Well, I'm glad I'm not boring you!

I was so much more interesting in the first half of my blog. But back to you, no not boring. mundane perhaps but not unenjoyable.

As Catalyst said, it has cooled down here too. Not quite as much as there....well, not nearly as much as there. Your comment about watching old AbFab shows reminded me to tell you that I've been watching the original British version of "House of Cards" on Netflix. I remembered that I had seen it when it first came out all those years ago but I had forgotten how diabolical it was. Our US version really did follow the original story line with of course more added nastiness. I quit watching the US version after the third season. I couldn't take it anymore. And now, it's turned out the Kevin Spacey is pretty much as bad as the character he played on TV.

I think this weekend is the time to get at them. Our temperatures have risen a bit and are running in the 60's during the day.

At least they keep life interesting, huh? :)<br /><br />Some staff at the school where I work leave 30 minutes early on Fridays, but I can never manage it either. Since I'm at the front desk in the main office there are always phone calls to take and loose ends to wrap up ahead of the weekend, and I don't feel comfortable leaving before my normal time of 4:30pm. I'm glad you got to go to the pub!<br /><br />And I love Ab Fab!! A night in watching that sounds great. It's been very cold and wet here this weekend so we've been staying in with a pot of homemade soup, the fireplace lit (for the first time this year), and old classic movies to watch.

That sounded so exotic to me as a child but it is merely a custard-like dish, easily digestible for the sick. Supposedly. <br />At least no chewing is involved!<br />It is chilly and wet here. The sort of chill that gets to the bones. It may get close to 27 degrees tonight or tomorrow and oh, dear- I must attend to my jungle of outdoor plants and I do not want to.
