2022 Armitage Weekly Round-up #11
It’s been a good long time, but yesterday I was back volunteering at MoLI for the first time. It was almost strange to be in there without a mask hiding half my face, and speaking to the visitors also felt way more personal. I got such a buzz out of chatting to a young American couple who were so delighted that I could give them some information about the Irish poet they were researching… In my…

The world as it is today cannot go unmentioned even here in this ‘happy place’. With Russia invading Ukraine, war has become tangible in Europe. I am old enough to feel catapulted back in the times of the Cold War. Even though I was a child back then, I was keenly aware of an ever-present threat – due to living in the centre of Europe, right at the line that marked the border between East and…

Good day to you. Hope you haven’t been blown away by Storms Dudley and Eunice. Northern and Central Europe got a bit of a battering these last couple of days. Ireland as usual gets the first hit of the storms, coming in from the Atlantic. We had the whole yellow-orange-red scale of storm warnings in Ireland, but Dublin was not particularly badly hit, thanks to its situation on the East coast.…

RA Pocket Shrine 272/? – Lavender
The “5 Item Challenge” has had *just* the effect I have needed. Thanks to the pressure of improvisation, I have felt inspired to get down to shrining. Kate’s challenge items were responsible for shrines 266 and 270. And in round 3 of the challenge, which was opened to new participants, I received an envelope with goodies from Pam.
Pam went easy on me. She chose items that were easy to combine,…

Very fittingly for a long Easter weekend, I will have a bumper round-up for you today. At least I hope so. After all I missed last week’s round-up due to travelling. Let’s see what happened in the meantime…
I hope you have had your first cup of coffee this morning, because starting off with this item might otherwise knock you out. Rangerofthewestt has put together a shirtless compilation.
You…
Happy Easter
Is it premature to wish a happy Easter on Good Friday? Well, in any case, it looks as if my fingers are itching and I can’t resist getting back into blogging mode. On Sunday, my Social Media break will be over. In all honesty (and with all due respect) I can’t say that I *overly* missed Twitter. However, I do think that I tend to be better informed – both in terms of fandom/Richie as well as…

Good morning on a spring-y Saturday. Their is a tentative sun outside my window, the first daffodils are peeking out with their yellow heads from my window box, and the great tits are tweeting in our garden. That makes for a happy start into the weekend. How far has spring come where you are?
But now, let’s look at this week’s tumblr offerings.
Starting off with some camera-cum-Levine porn, not…

It’s February!!! *phew* We’ve left the darkest month behind and are heading towards the light. Or that’s how I see it. Have you noticed how it’s a little brighter every afternoon? I’ve even had a couple of days with “lie-ins” until 8am, and it is not dark at that time anymore ☀️.
Next port of call is Valentine’s Day. Not that I am really that huge a fan of said “occasion”, but anything to cheer…

Has Netflix Renewed Their Contract with BBC? #RichardArmitage
According to a commenter, JustLuthen, it’s a done deal:
“I just spoke with Netflix. It has renewed its contract with the BBC and RA’s not going anywhere.”
Thanks, Luthen. It’s a great message on a Monday morning, and my optimist is clinging onto it. Not because I need to watch the Netflix version of North and South, or MI-5 (Spooks) or Robin Hood, but because it’s such an easy way to turn…
Thornton: „OMG! Is captain Lennox her boyfriend?“
Margaret: „Dude, he is married to my cousin.“
Thornton: „Maybe Henry Lennox her boyfriend!“
Margaret: „Now I am dating the whole Lennox family, or what?! The first I did in this novel was to reject his proposal.“
Thornton: „And Frederik…“
Margaret: „Dude…. He is my f BROTHER!“
YouTube Fangirl Comment of the Day:
This would be a good reason to switch from being a cat person to a dog person. Imagine. A dog that looks at you like how Thornton looked at Margaret in the final train station scene. If there is such a dog…I bid you adieu kitty cats! ( I hope my pet cat is not planning on giving me a good scratch after I post this up.)
