@slm6002 - Well done on yours this month, I'd never heard of Postpals children, what an amazing thing to do    What hobby did you try?

I've gone back to tap dancing.  Hoping it would cover time for me, a new old hobby and help with the exercise to loose the weight.  Just as much fun as when I was younger.

Postpals is a lovely charity to make people feel just a little better when suffering

That's amazing - Well done you!

Doing great @YorksLass - Any film recommendations pass them my way as I'm struggling   

YorksLass

@tinkerbelluk - I struggle with this one too!  Of the three I have watched one was OK, one was very enjoyable (The Art of Racing in the Rain) and the third (John Wick) was a couple of hours I won't get back - safe to say I'll not be watching any more in that series!

I watched the glass onion and the other one like this.  Not too bad

YorksLass

@slm6002 - Was that Knives Out?  I thought it was quirky and definitely "different" but, despite a good cast and all the threads coming together at the end, found it rather convoluted.  On that basis, I'm not sure if I'd watch The Glass Onion.

slm6002

I think it was.  They were ok not great lol

tinkerbelluk

Yeah I did Glass Onion and the same, was ok for some mindless entertainment, same for the John Wick series, ok if you don't really want to focus
