Four Fun {and Not-so-Fun} Things

Ruth Blog Friends, Four Fun Things, Home Life, Just For Fun March 24, 2021March 19, 2021

We watched and highly recommend the Bee Gees documentary on Amazon Prime. The following evening we watched Saturday Night Fever.

I read a brilliant essay on Cup of Jo {this is the not-so-fun thing}. I’d like to suggest that you read both the essay and the comments section. The best comment? This: “Be brave for others”.

Spring is on the way. 🙂

We’re 14 years late to the party, but Mad Men (on Amazon Prime).

That is an amazing photo of the blossoms. I’ll have a read of Cup of Jo later – thanks for the recommendation.

  Thanks – I captured the blossoms at the end of last week when I was out with Tilly. 🙂

Thank-you for the link to Cup of Jo and so sobering to read her life experience :(. Your photo is lovely – really full of Spring promise and life. I’ve not seen Mad Men either and always enjoy finding a series to follow, so thank-you!

  I’m enjoying Mad Men, but I do find myself shouting at the TV – all those 1950s/1960s attitudes towards women, people of colour and parenting. 🙂

What an interesting, yet disturbing, piece from Jo. No matter how far we think we have come, we still have a way to go it would seem.

  It does seem that way, doesn’t it. Given the news out of Colorado this week, I hope the US Government is able to take bipartisan action on tightening up their gun laws …

So glad spring is on the way! That was definitely a poignant article on Cup of Jo. The news here just keep getting worse & worse … (and I’ve just deleted the rest of my controversial comment about gun laws; I am a Texan after all).

  As a Brit, it’s alien to me that anyone in the USA should think that they need to own an assault rifle, second amendment or not … and that’s all I’m saying here.

    I agree about assault rifles, for sure! 🙂 But the discussion here always turns to all guns & total government control, which I don’t agree with. It’s really so sad what is happening with all the violent crime & controversies here lately, sad and scary.

    It’s certainly concerning watching from here – I can’t imagine what it must be like in those communities right now. x
