I have switched itv on. James Bond A View To a Kill. Doubt I will watch it all though, so corny.

Just watched the 1st episode of Black Dove on Netflix. It shows some promise.

The Christmas tree went up this morning, our earliest ever. But what else were we going to do on such a horrible day ?

That particular Bond film was probably the cheesiest of them all.

I have just bought some Shropshire blue as I do like a blue cheese, in fact I like all cheese that has a strong flavour. I cant really see the point of mild cheese.

Me neither

or strong cheese

or any other cheese

Have I mentioned that I hate cheese????

Although I was born 1947, since my birthday is October, I missed it too. However, Mrs B, with a birthday in January, arrived in the middle of it. 😊
