Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

 This idea came from a Facebook meme:

Over 10 days, post your 10 all time favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or even a screenshot on your timeline. No need to explain.

Only I had a hard time picking out just 10 movies so my favorites over the next few hundred Saturdays 😸 in semi-alphabetical order my favorite films. What movie has really made an impact on you or what films can you watch over and over and never tire of? Post either the movie poster, DVD cover or 

The Time Machine (1960) Rod Taylor, Alan Young

If you haven't seen this movie, it's available for rent on YouTube.

The Friday Five Good Things

Five good things that happened this week.

An old photo of Ink and my favorite napping spot

1. The online bookbinding workshop seemed to be well received.

2. A 3.6 or 3.8 Earthquake at 9 AM on Sunday shook Southern New England. A quick jolt and a loud rumble. We were shaken, but not stirred. Himself didn't feel a thing and teased me that only cats, dogs, horses, and the Little Princess could feel such a mild earthquake.

3. The massage chair takes up a lot of room in the living room.  For more room and so I’ll be able to put the Christmas tree up, I was able to move the love seat to the sun room. All by myself. It was such a sunny and unusually warm day, I spent the afternoon sitting on the love seat and binding a journal. Still trying to hang onto Summer.

4. Though it was a grey day, it was still unusually warm for November. Another afternoon enjoying the sun room one more time by taking a nice nap on the comfy love seat. Ink would have loved this arrangement

5. Yesterday, I blogged about problems trying to comment on Blogger using the iPad. The browser, Opera, was a fix for a short time until Apple did an update. What to do? This is the screen on the iPad and I was trying to reply to Jo on my blog.

 It looks as if I’m not logged in on the blog/comment page. If I click on the Reply to: I'm taken back to the Blogger landing page with the list of my blog posts. In the upper right hand of that screen, I'm longed in. What to do?

I ignored it! Made my comment, clicked published.  The comment published while I was using Chrome! It worked with Opera, too. If that's been your problem with trying to use Blogger on an iPad, that seems to be the fix. That is, until Apple does another update. 😉

How was your week?

Opera

 

There have been issues with Blogger while tryin to compose a blog post or leaving comments while working on the iPad. Safari just wouldn’t play nice. 

Chrome on the iPad worked for me for a bit. Then Apple did an update, and no more being able to leave comments. Even though on the post page I was clearly logged in with my Google ID. What to do?

Hunting around, I found the answer to be Opera, a browser that works across platforms. This browser worked well. I was able to leave comments on other blogs while using the iPad. I even started this post on the iPad using Opera. Oh, joy! Oh, rapture!

 Then Apple did another update. WTH? I was clearly logged in with my Google ID, but when I tried to leave a comment I could see Blogger thought I wasn't logged in. Trying to log in from someone's blog just put me in an endless loop of being logged in from Blogger, but not logged in while reading blogs. Deep sigh. Forlorn look.

So more time wasted to hunt for another solution.

Wordy Wednesday

 

T Stands For London Fog

 

My favorite blend of tea is Earl Grey. Long before Captain Jean-Luc Picard made "Earl Grey, hot." popular. Earl Grey is black tea and flavored with Bergamot orange. I like it in the afternoon or evening. A fancier cup of tea than the regular blend.

My friend, Langley, from BC, Canada told me of a fancy beverage with Earl Grey called a London Fog.

Brew and steep a cup of Earl Grey.

Add sweetener of your choice and a splash of Vanilla extract. (To cut down on my sugar intake, I've been using liquid Stevia. I found the brand Truvia with  a splash of vanilla in it.)

Add some frothy milk. The Eldest got me addicted to Half n Half in my tea. I don't own a frother so I just shake the Half n Half carton and pour it all frothy into my tea. Purrfect.

Drop by hosts, Bleubeard and Elizabeth’s blog to find out what the rest of the T gang is up to. If you want to play, include a beverage or beverage container in your post. Don’t forget to link your blog from Bleubeard and Elizabeth’s page.

Happy Mail

 

Nan sent me a fun Halloween card. I love how the US Post Office coordinated their cancellation mark with the Jack O'Lantern stamp Nan chose. The cancellation mark is a wall socket for Energy Awareness month, but it looks like a surprised face. 

The Worcester Art Museum is now selling masks in the gift shop. Faculty and staff were offered a free mask of their choice from the above images of art that are in the museum.

I chose number 4. The painting is by Vassily Kandinsky and is called  Untitled, No. 629. It's one of my favorite paintings in WAM. The images remind me of kites and happy times flying kites as a kid.

How Does Your Garden Grow?

 

Time to put out the November Welcome

The turkey book can be displayed

and the scarecrow can hang a round a little while longer.

Frost on the moose

More snow? Just a dusting

The squirrel was furiously digging for acorns

More snow?

Nope, just milkweed seeds

Fiery tops of the trees

and a beautiful sunset.

How does your garden grow?
