Hello there!

Regen, conversely, our days are becoming warmer. But we are expecting some rain today and then perhaps we will have a few cold days. Also, September is normally a rainy month, so we are preparing.

I also thought JB would be writing CS next. I agree, if he is writing MM, that is better. I really love CS but DF is still my favourite.

I am so glad you are excited about learning something new for your work, Regen. I hope it is not too difficult to master.

I have a very rusty French now. I could read it very well but now I can't. I've forgotten too much.

Oh, I've watched a Star Trek" Strange New Worlds episode and it has an Easter Egg! You can see the TARDIS. So fun  :)

Missing you, Md

Cool! For me, it is behind a pay wall. I think I saw it on prime video, but they have so many new and old titles you either have to pay now or are only available if you also subscribe for x and y, like Paramount or all the others. I won't do that, even if I do want to see it. I already have a subscription for Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime and additional subscriptions from Amazon: like amazon kids, kindle unlimited, audible and I am feeling scammed because I already pay for them and they still want more money for some movies and series.

I have all of those too. Not the Amazon services but all the streaming you mentioned + Paramount (where I have Strange New Worlds) and HBOmax (which is part of my cable service package). I also pay a plus for having the right to watch some football (soccer) matches. So yes, it is a lot. But it is one of the things that make me happy, to have options to watch things I like.
Speaking of shows/movies, I went to the cinema! Which is a very strange event for me nowadays. But I have several free hours between medical appointments, so I went to watch Freakier Friday. I am not delighted with the acting, but it was a fun light comedy and I had a good time  :)

*Notices the lights have been left on in the SHOV and shakes his head*

Electric bills are not going down, and are we still using halogen bulbs?
Don is the Prince of Anarchy  :P

Please excuse my grammar, and speling.

*makes a note to replace the bulbs for something more efficient*

*Realizes that she forgot Don's birthday*
*sighs*
Hi Don! When I posted the belated birthday thread for MSD and others I was ready for making your thread in a couple of days. And then, time decided to just run. I forgot many birthdays in the meantime. I am sorry.
I will make those thread later, because right now I have to run myself.
