  1. Finished K-On. I really enjoy watching this show, five high school girls dedicated to spending their school days eating cake, drinking tea and making music, in that order!
  2. Interesting to read the comments about Josee, the Tiger and the Fish and A Silent Voice. I've seen Silent Voice and my Blu-Ray disk of JTF arrived the other day, so that's next on my watch list. I've seen SV several times and it always leaves me thinking that there is a part of the story missing that would explain Shouko's change of attitude from when she was watching the fireworks with everyone else to her actions when she returned home.
  3. I spoke too soon! The hot weather is back and it's 30+c Celsius each day a temperature that leaves me with no energy and little incentive to do anything. It's so hot outside that opening the front door and standing on the doorstep was like entering an oven.
  4. At a couple of places I worked I was on friendly terms with some of the security guys and a common complaint was that they had to work long hours for poor pay. I've always thought that changing the name of the "Personnel Department" to "Human Resources Department" gave a good indication of how companies regarded their employees, we weren't people any more we were just another resource.
  5. Well you learn something every day. As a non-smoker I never knew that such shows existed.
  6. I hope you're clear of the covid in time for your trip to France.
  7. I'm really glad to hear that. The value and amount of support you can gain from just meeting people with the same condition and who stand in the same place as you is beyond calculation.
  8. This morning I am not a happy Animedragon. I pressed the power button on my main PC, and nothing happened, changed he power lead, pressed button, still nothing! New PSU on order.
  9. Always trying to look on the bright side of things, I've found two advantages in the long hot dry spell we're having at the moment. 1. My garden pond which had been silted up for years has dried out so completely that I could shovel the now dry muck out easily. 2. I can leave my car unwashed and claim I'm being a responsible citizen and saving water instead of being accused of just being too lazy to wash it.
  10. HOT ! It's 9:34pm and it's still 24c outside.
  11. Currently watching K-On. A great series and lots of fun to watch, with just enough seriousness to keep things in ballance. A great cast of characters, excellent animation and artwork and a well written script. What's not to like?
  12. How do you fix a broken website? With stick e-tape.
  13. Just finished "Sound! Euphonium" series 1. A simple but really enjoyable series, I wish series 2 was available in the UK. Yes, I know I could buy the US release, but it's in two parts at $79 each, that's about £65 in UK money and the days when I could afford to pay £130 for anime series are long gone! In practice it would probably be more than £130 by the time international postage and import duties are added.
  14. You might also like "Grave of the Fireflies". It's a film and runs for about one and a half hours, it's an excellent story but a very sad one.
  15. I finished watching Stellvia this evening. It's an enjoyable Sci-Fi series with an interesting storyline that isn't quite as straightforward as it first appears. The series also has a good cast of characters and gives you time to get to know each of them. I'd have one or two questions about some aspects of the plot, but it's never wise to probe too deeply into such matters, especially with Sci-Fi series, because you can end up spoiling your enjoyment of the series.
  16. What did the grape say when someone trod on it? Nothing, it just gave a little whine.
  17. Welcome aboard. Make yourself at home and pull up a cushion, or a chair if you don't like sitting on the floor.
  18. You might like to take a look at "ef:A Tale of Memories" and " ef:A Tale of Melodies". "Melodies", which is the second part, is more depressing than the first part. Both parts have excellent music.
