2016 is flying by and there are so many perfumes to write about – I feel like I’m falling behind even though I set my own schedule, but the start of spring means hay fever season for me. My sense of smell diminishes substantially in […]
The Smell Of Conscience And Lying According to Frank Underwood
“Conscience has an unmistakable stink to it, sort of like raw onions and morning breath, but a lie stinks even more when it’s coming from someone who isn’t used to lying. It’s more like rotten eggs and horse shit.” (Frank Underwood played by Kevin Spacey) […]
February Favourites
Well January and February have already been and gone. I missed January favourites (that was not a stellar month for me – let’s just say a bad flu knocked me about) and it’s time to sneak these in. TV : Netflix has been busy on my electronic devices. […]

Who loves TV binge viewing? I had the flu or whatever lurgy it was for about a week recently and indeed France appears to be in the midst of a wave of sickness, with this weekend’s headline in Le Figaro – “Grippe : La France […]
Sunday Ramblings : It’s Hard To Break Up With Breaking Bad
I’ve become a huge fan of TV over the years and view fewer movies these days. The quality of the scripts is great, and the longer length affords more of an opportunity to watch characters develop over time and build an imaginary rapport with them. Plus […]
Sunday Ramblings : Bring It On : Game of Thrones Season 5
This week the trailer for Game of Thrones Season 5 and new pictures were released. Let’s just say I can’t wait for the show to hurry up and start. I’ve read all the books and I just want to see more action up on the screen. It’s also […]
I’m Late To The Party But Idris Elba Has An Album Out
I have to admit I have a crush on Idris Elba, no doubt along with millions of other folks on this planet. Anyhow I rate him as an actor, he is brilliant as Stringer Bell, the business minded drug dealer in The Wire. He is also kick ass […]
