1) It was lovely seeing all the old cast together again. I have watched Star Trek as broadcast since they originally aired. The original Star Trek and The New Generation are without doubt my favourites.
2) Amanda Plummer is simply wonderful. The absolute highlight of the whole series.
So I had some friends over for dinner last weekend.
And once again the same dynamic took place. I tried to be part of the conversation but I was essentially ignored for the whole evening.
I tried the technique or talking softly (partly to get anyone's attention, but also to try an make them stop talking so loudly) and that did nothing.
I tried the technique of keeping on talking so someone would stop and listen but they ignored me again and kept right on talking to each other.
Someone was showing pictures on their phone and actually showed them to everyone but me.
The thing is, these are all people who I get along fine with and have reasonably good conversations with - although more listening than speaking on my part - when we are in a one on one situation,
In the end though, I'm old, I'm introverted, I'm not likely to make any new friends so I have to hold on to those I have even though they may annoy me.
It's Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and roast turkey is one of my favourite foods so I picked up a bone-in skin-on turkey breast and roasted it yesterday and had a really nice early Thanksgiving dinner.
I'm going out for another one tonight. Yes, that's how fond I am of a roast turkey dinner.
So after dinner last night I cleaned up the kitchen and separated the turkey meat from the bones and skin and was looking forward to leftover turkey - sandwiches, stir fry, warmed-over, a la king.
I had the turkey packaged up but decided it was still pretty warm so I decided to let it sit a bit before I put I in the fridge.
This morning when I went to make tea I was surprised to see something sitting on the counter, and then totally appalled to realize I had left the turkey sitting out all night.
So several meals worth of good turkey meat are in the garbage.
Senior moment or just plain stupidity?
Covid is still around.
I'm back to wearing a mask inside stores. Not on the street yet, unless it's crowded.
I'm still going to restaurants that have patios but I'm avoiding eating inside unless the place is practically empty and I may stop doing that for the winter.
One of the nice things about wearing a mask is that I know it pisses off the anti-masking types.
Another winner from Acorn TV.
This was just a lovely miniseries. The acting is perfect from everyone.
It felt as though they knew how to use quiet and silence to say so much.
There were some kind, gentle moments that could break your heart.
10/10 for this one.
