Last week I was thinking that Christmas this year is going to be quite different from the usual. An opportunity to do something different, including starting the preparations for it early – and enjoying it longer. Christmas baking, decorating the house with wreaths and vases of pine and fir, and lighting candles every evening. And…
Back to the Saturday slot. Have you seen the new interview with RA in today’s Times? [Note: Article behind pay wall. Look in the round-up below for a short-cut 😉] Richard is really trying to get his image as a grump across… “I’m quite a socially distant person by nature. When I walk past a…
Let’s start the week with the round-up. I took most of last week off my own blog and focussed on RAnet instead. There are a few updates there that took some time and work. You can read about them if you go into the News section of the site and scroll to the entry on…
This week I slightly dropped the ball. After kicking off the discussion about the fundraiser last week, I tried to keep up with the comments but still haven’t replied to each and every one of them. An ongoing project. I also need to reply to a number of e-mails that have reached me – they…
Richard really has been throwing himself into campaigning for theatre lately. Well, with Covid wreaking havoc in an industry that relies on live events that are held in indoor spaces where social distancing is simply impossible, campaigning on behalf of the performing arts is badly needed and also very much welcome by those who enjoy…
Goodness! With all that excitement going on, I almost forgot the weekly round-up. And meh, I just noticed that Richard has already tweeted his birthday thanks. Um – fairly early in the day. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, the donations, the fundraising, the auctions and gifts. I feel very special. XRA pic.twitter.com/Wvva9JL8lZ —…
Hello on a beautiful sunny morning! With the sun shining, everything feels so much lighter. More about that later, but first I’ll give you what you are here for – the round-up. New header time! Let’s start off with our favourite knight, especially when declaring his love… Gifs by mezzmerizedbyrichard A nice little collage of…
A mid-day round-up today because I went to the recycling yard with Mr Guylty this morning, followed by a lovely walk and a (take-away) coffee. We had to dump our collected recycling – and of course what happens is that Sonja picks up new rubbish while at the recycling yard 😂. Someone had thrown out…
Hello hello hello! A week has passed and I am back from my mini break. I am going to indulge in a little travel report here, so those of you who have no interest in sitting through someone else’s holiday pictures – no offense taken, I totally understand! – please just scroll down to where…
Good morning, good morning! It has been months and months since I last posted a round-up in the usual 8am GMT+1 slot. So much for lockdown providing more time for hobbies… For this edition of the round-up, I have gone back to my usual MO of compiling it Friday night and then scheduling it so…
