The Game - British mini series - 2025
Just found this one, currently watching episode 2 of the 4.
Looks very promising.
With Robson Green. Great actor who can be real intense.

Detective Huw Miller is haunted by one case he failed to solve. As he settles into retirement, he suddenly thinks he has found the elusive killer in the shape of his new neighbour Patrick Harbottle.

I think it has more to do with people not being handy with making photos or simply not bothered to put much effort and time into it.
I don't think it has anything much to do with showing off their phone. It'd take someone who's really into mobiles to be able to tell what kind of phone it is.

Many men don't even have a recent photo but one from the time they were still happy with their ex. They crop the ex off and that becomes their profile photo.
To them the photo in front of the mirror is probably already an effort.

I Googled it and got a lot of stuff on phones that can flex, be rolled up or bent etc.

COncerning dating sites it allegedly means showcasing wealth & status through photos.

But you mean literally having your phone in the photo? But that isn't new, is it?
Tons of people have photos in front of a mirror with their mobile in view.
Which I don't find appealing.
I guess most don't have the option to switch to the camera on their side? Although that tech has been around for a long time, even on cheaper phones.

Thinking... thank goodness this is the last cold day, for now anyways. Had enough of frost and snow and icy roads.

I did make a snowman though :) Hadn't done that in decades. There was 1 day with enough snow to make one.

Thank you! Thank goodness she came back and was alright. I did have to go out and get her though. She didn't want/dare to walk through the snow again.

Hope you're feeling good!

The Hunting Party
About a mass break-out from a huge top secret prison after which a small team will have to try and recapture the fugitives.
They find out that there's more to it than just a prison break.

Season 2 came out last week, well, the first episode of it.

Not that inexpensive, plus having just 1 leaves a lot of blindspots.
Also, cameras run on electricity so they won't help in case there would be a blackout.
Normally speaking they could be great.

Over here you'd need to have a sign up that you got camera surveillance. A sticker in the window or something. Not allowed to use cameras without that.
Typical Dutch, you have to warn bad guys that you're protecting yourself.

Hi Beach!


Feeling joyful after walking through the snow in the garden. We haven't had a decent layer of snow in about 13 years.

Feeling a wee bit concerned as my little Meggie went outdoors and hasn't come back yet.
She's just a small cat so her belly is in the snow when she walks, and that'll get really cold.
Hope she's safe!
Called out to her a number of times, even went out for that, but no Meggie :/

Thinking... had to cancel 3 appointments because of the weather conditions: snow and icy roads. Not chuffed about that.

Add what you have to offer a woman and what kind of woman and/or relationship you're hoping to have.
As for the bit you got now... go over it again and put in some periods or commas where needed. It's a bit messy.

Documentary Close Encounters Down Under - 2022

Watched a few episodes and it's really good!

Seriously PO that my photo got deleted, again. And again with the same nonsense argument:
Your face has to be in view and you have to smile.
My face was in view and I did smile.

Are we dealing with an AI entity here? Utterly ridiculous. I'm fuming.

Jaws and Jaws 2
For lack of something new that I'd like to watch...
A good shark movie never wears thin :D

Happy New Year everyone! May all your dreams come true in 2026!

I too would love to find this great partner. The one who complements me.

But thing is, if you cannot even be happy on your own, how do you think you're going to be happy in a relationship?
Do you all really think someone else can fill in the void you feel?
You gotta do that yourself.
That way your life is good whether you're single or not.
Then a partner becomes the icing & the cherry on the cake, not the cake. You gotta bake that yourself.

Unless you're looking for a co-dependent relationship.

Clingy?
You want someone who's clingy???

Makes me wonder if Google Translate came up with the wrong word and you don't know the proper meaning of it OR if you've actually never been in a relationship.

Take it from me, clingy is not what you want.

Labels generally don't bother me much.
I always feel they make life easier as they make things clear without needing ridiculously lengthy explanations.

Feeling happy that last night's dinner with my kids, son in law, granddaughters and mum was so good!
We dined at the restaurant where my son is chef. His treat. I had a wonderful time!

Thinking... pretty soon I gotta keep the cats indoors due to fireworks.
Next year it's going to be forbidden. Good thing too. Too much illegal fireworks last number of years. All ridiculously loud stuff making it sounds like a friggin warzone out there.
