    It’s Your Funeral! A book that is equal parts comedy, trivia, and preparing for your eventual demise. Highly recommend.

    What’s your favorite holiday?

      Hey OK thanks for the suggestion! I like a balance of stuff relaxation and stuff to do. So part beach part other.

      What treat would you buy yourself if you had 50 bucks to blow on it?

        Not an easy question at all! My answer would be a book or two. Been eyeing an architecture book, but for this amount could get a heftier one. Maybe about gardening, or construction, or sci-fi, like K.Dick or Bradbury… What kind of weather do like the most (this spring has it all - snow, warm and sunny, rainy, windy, sometimes all in a days work)?

          Ooooooh good choices! I read a lot of dystopian stuff so let me know if you want some recommendations.

          I love to be inside on a rainy day in autumn, all nice and warm and cosy.

          What’s your favourite sitcom?

            I don’t read much, but I’m open to recommendations.

            I have to agree with you on the weather, rainy cool days are perfect! Perfect for taking a walk too, the air is fresh, everything smells different, better. And the colours are more vibrant. It is also so quiet, apart form the rain.

            Malcom in the middle, it is just so good.

            If we are on to the topic of films, which recent films have you seen and what did you like and dislike about them?

              Cool, I’d go for Day of the Triffids its one of the original sci fi dystopian. America Dark is on kindle unlimited, quick read and page turner, several good sequels m. Lockdown is great but around the 3rd book gets silly.

              I saw Speak No Evil recently it was BRILLIANT. The acting is world class and it’s a slow burn with a big pay out.

              On films, what was your favourite Disney film as a kid?

                Thanks for the recommendations. I have heard of the Day of the triffids, will check it out at some point. I really like old school sci-fi, and the topics they explore. The Illustrated Man is a really good one.

                I saw Mickey 17. It was a fun film, similar in essence to the directors other films.

                Not really a Disney kid, I did have Pocahontas picture book even though I hadn’t seen the film. So that.

                But how about series, which ones do you recommend? Maybe you know some more obscure ones to fill the time?

                  I’m really into the Great North and Abbot Elementary they’re both feel good sitcoms. I’m in the UK and they’re pretty much unheard of here don’t know what other countries are like with them!

                  What are you watching on telly arm?

                    The usual, Last of Us and White Lotus and Black Mirror. Then I started watching Station Eleven. I really like dystopian series. These aren’t on telly tho, just streaming on the web.

                    Where do you get your news?
