2020 Armitage Weekly Round-up #21

Did you enjoy yesterday’s RA Blog Reunion Day? I have to say I found it really lovely – to read so many blog posts on one day, catching up with bloggers, and reading so many good stories and entertaining content. It really reminded me of ‘the olden days’. No, I am not saying everything was…

Hello Again, So Nice To See You! #RABlogReunion

When Nat tweeted at the beginning of May and suggested a RA blog reunion to find out what people had been up to, I initially did not think the call for the blogging event was addressed at me but at all those bloggers who I remember from my early days in the fandom and many…

2020 Armitage Weekly Round-up #20

How are you all doing? It was an exciting week for us fans, with that video dropping. Really has kept me smiling for the last few days, and so much so that I don’t even mind that tumblr this week is not a huge long list. Ha – do you think there is a strategy…

White Shirt Love Forever

If you can’t get enough of the white shirt, then we are in the same boat. My, it really cheered me up yesterday. Man, my finger hurt from all the screen shots. Too much of a good thing? Never! (And yes, I am deliberately leaving the sneer in there – just because I think it’s…

Richard Gives Us A Glimpse Of His Wardrobe… eh… Studio

Now, this is something to brighten up a Thursday. Not only because of the shining white shirt. Or the luxurious mane. But this article by Radio Times includes a fabulous little video of Richard not only talking about his latest Audible recording, but he even gives us a tour of his “home studio”. Man, he…

RA Pocket Shrine 220/? – Untie

Did you see Ani’s latest unbearably cute cartoon? Couldn’t get this out of my head. I often imagined how Richard and his Mum sat together reading, answering, signing Fan mail 😌(The text is supposed to be funny🙈) #RichardArmitage pic.twitter.com/gpkpt4GErh — Ani 🏳️‍🌈🐒 (@AniNomori) May 19, 2020 You really have to look at all the details…

Distraction Challenge 12 #ADC

Goodness me! If this pandemic doesn’t stop soon, I’ll go bankrupt over all the audio books that Richard is churning out. I had rather hoped that his hinted at “special something” was a tiny little freebie, but ok, I am curious about the Chekhov short stories. Mind you, I *do* think it smarts a tiny…

RA As Breakfast Sprinkles

What a great start to the week. Just in time for breakfast, the post man delivered a package from the Netherlands with a speciality that is unavailable outside of the Low Lands. Dear Esther had heard my desperate lament that my stash of vruchten hagel had recently finished. And she went out of her way…

It’s Tea Time

The other day I was half-heartedly watching an Irish food programme on telly, when suddenly I heard the name “Porter”. In fact, they were talking about Porter cake. I thought of this again: I’d take a cake from Porter any day. And how has your Sunday been? I am going to eat cake now. Cheese…

2020 Armitage Weekly Round-up #19

We are now over eight weeks in “lockdown”. Ireland is going to take the first step in easing the restrictions on Monday, with some construction work happening again, as well as garden centres and hardware stores reopening. I have to honestly say that I would not have thought that the crisis would last this long.…
