Good morning everyone 
Raining here as forecast.
Talking Pictures is showing another excellent Cary Grant comedy this afternoon - "The Talk of the Town" (1942). He's an escaped prisoner who is living in a house let by Jean Arthur. Another tenant is a professor (Ronald Colman).
I hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning everyone, we have light rain showers and I've just had the most gorgeous rainbow. My favourite Cary Grant film of all time is An Affair to Remember which I watched again recently. After years of trying to persuade my grandson to watch UP he finally watched it with his son and was surprised how good it was and how funny. I hope you have a nice restful day today Summer after that hectic week.
Enjoy your day everyone
Good morning overcast and cool here, not ideal bbq weather but iâm still going anyway, iâll entertain everyone!
Thanks El, iâm Going to look that film up, it sounds good and Iâm determined to have some downtime soon.
What are you all doing today?
Aw Squiggle, we posted together- make a wish! You deserve to see that beautiful rainbow 
xxxx
Good morning everyone
Itâs raining!
Thanks El, Iâll be sure to record that film.
Squiggle, I love the film An Affair To Remember - I have it on dvd.
Rainbows always lift my spirits 
Enjoy the bbq, despite the rain, Summer
Have a good day, everyone
Good morning Buddies
We have had rain off and on for at least 18 hours but boy is it doing the gardens good 
Quite cool but again bettter than all that very hot weather 
Sweet, happy bbqing
Iâm sure you will make a sterling job of entertaining everyone ððð
Have a grand Sunday everyone
Summer, I hope the BBQ goes well despite the weather
Moonie, the weather has been much the same as yours - it's not raining at present though the clouds look threatening.
Squiggle and Yogi, I thought that Love Affair (1939) (Charles Boyer and Irene Dunne) was more profound than An Affair to Remember (a semi-remake) but mainly because of Maria Ouspenskaya who, although only briefly in the film, was exceptional.

Thatâs the one thing that annoys me more than anything El, being threatened by a cloud ðĄð

No, I didn't know that. The likelyhood of me ever reading a Mills & Boon book is nil. My mother had worked in the local WH Smith warehouse for a time, would have come across them whilst there, and didn't have a high opinion of them though knew that many women loved them.

I have to say I heard that on a quiz programme on the radio 
They are not my type of book either El

I would be amazed if they had been. Here's another piece of trivia I came across years ago. Gill Sanderson, one of the writers of Mills and Boon books, is a pseudonym for Roger Sanderson, their only male writer. (that's from years ago though).
Moonie posted:I just googled and apparently its right El
96,000 books per mile
As over 100 new titles are published every month it means that, as they are mass produced, a lot get unsold so that was how some of them got dealt with (and there were other books beside Mills & Boons).

Good morning everyone
Cloudy here and may get a bit more rain.
I don't know if any of you watch Fake or Fortune?. Previous series have tended to have 4 episodes but last year there were only 3. A 4th one was scheduled but was withdrawn and hasn't been shown. That one was about a paining attributed to Alberto Giacometti and was postponed "pending further investigation". The new series started yesterday and apparentl;y has 5 episodes so it's possible that the Giacometti one will get shown this time.
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone
Cloudy here too.
El, Iâve seen a few episodes of Fake or Fortune. I always feel sorry for the owners of the paintings when they are fake.
Off to my parents today.
Have a good day, all
Good morning everyone, fairly cloudy but dry today.
Enjoy your day everyone
Although it's unlikely that people have fax machines at home, many businesses still use them. Turns out that they can be hacked by malicious faxes which can lead to business networks being compromised:
