Another dreary day

So - they're making another Indiana Jones film...isn't Harrison Ford pushing past 78??

Mr Cee suggested: 'Indiana Jones and The Old People's Home" as a possible title. How about "Indiana Jones and the Replacement Hip Surgery' or 'Indiana Jones Forgets Where He Left his Keys".  Bless him.... How much CGI will there be to make it look like Mr Ford

'Indiana Jones and the Mobility Scooter'. Possibly 'Indiana Jones and the...um... thing... you know...'

Sensibly it should be Indiana Jones the next generation and have him as a grandfather that is either encouraging the grandchildren to have adventures, or whose grandchildren totally don't believe any of his reminiscences :)

Lol! I do think it should be the next generation too. Maybe that’s how they’ll do it.

I've never heard of a shrew before.

I am not a fan of rodents and having one in my house would have freaked me out. Glad to hear that you were able to get it out of the house. When we had Duck he never (thank goodness) caught anything, although we had a dog that caught a mouse twice.

I especially like "Indiana Jones Forgets Where He Left his Keys"

[kazzy_cee]

A shrew looks like a mouse but is a carnivore and eats worms and insects. They hibernate through winter so I think it might have been trying to find food after it woke up which is sad. Circle of life and all that.

Indiana Jones and his hearing aid......

That stew sounds delicious! I never put ginger in that kind of mix, but I bet it worked well.

Sherlock is so impressive in retrospect - such massive investment in that first series when they didn't know how it would land. The first and third episodes of that are just brilliant.

My stew was a combination of leftovers. We baked it in the oven with breadcrumbs over the top and with sautéed mushrooms. It was delicious! I shall do it again. (ETA it was grated fresh ginger from the freezer which worked well).

Sherlock is really quite astonishing. Watching it through I like there’s threads through all the episodes binding them together.

Mr Cee suggestions about Harrison Ford playing an unlikely hero made me think of comments I read somewhere on Robert DiNiro in a recent movie. His daughter (or even granddaughter!) was manhandled at the grocery, and old Robert went to sort out the perp. The commenters mentioned how unrealistic the fight scene looked, particularly where Robert was kicking the bad guy. I had to go look, and sure enough, he was very gingerly in his movements, as though he'd just had hip replacement. Action stars need to recognize when it's time to move on to character roles.

I'm with ya on disliking hot humid days. I think 118 was my personal best in AZ, but at least it was dry.

Dry heat is OK but without air con over here the nights are too hot.

Yes - I can’t believe Harrison Ford needs the money .... maybe they made him an offer he couldn’t refuse.

We started watching the PBS series on Hemingway. Now I want to read his stuff. It can be a bit dry (Ken Burns) but it's fascinating!

[kazzy_cee]

I’ve read Hemingway - it’s OK but doesn’t hold up well IMO as there are quite a few things I don’t agree with in his novels.
