Hello, Littens!

Have a great day.

I‘m starting mine with The Exploits of Moominpappa before work.

How about you?

Bookwomble I started with two cheese on crumpets, scrolling Litsy and reading about the new Tolkien book due in November. It's a bank holiday in England, so having a slow start to the day 😌 2y

Libby1 Hi, @Bookwomble ! It‘s a bank holiday here in Northern Ireland as well, but I‘m working. Next stop Waterstones! I‘ll try not to buy anything today. 🙄 2y

TrishB I‘m hoping for a day of reading 😁 2y

A humorous prequel in which Moominpappa reads his memoirs to Moomintroll, Snufkin and Sniff, introducing lots of characters who stick around for future adventures.
I particularly liked the Horriblest Ghost, who Jansson skilfully makes both morbidly gruesome and amusingly pompous. 👻
Great fun 😊

Relaxing by the "pool" ?
?Club Tropicana,
?Drinks are free! ??
My last book was rather dour, so lightening the mood with some Moominpappa ??

vivastory I like your style 📚🍸 3y

#KeepLitsyPositive today - this is my niece, totally engrossed in a book. It‘s one of her favourite things! Other favourite things are Moomins - she‘s not wildly chatty yet, but leave her alone with a Moomin cushion and they‘ll chat for ages!

On the keeping positive front, I‘ve also booked a supermarket delivery (for 2 weeks time 😱) and subscribed to NetFlix. What should I be watching?

@LoverOfLearning

rockpools Hi @wanderinglynn - how‘s things at your end today? Will reply to your email this evening. I‘ve been having a Blue Planet sort of day here 🐙 ! Will reply to your email this evening 😘 @wanderinglynn (edited) 5y

Mitch Unbelievable- on Netflix‘s is amazing! 5y

squirrelbrain Aw, love her chatting to the Moomins! ❤️ 5y

wanderinglynn For a dark comedy, I liked Dead to Me starring Christina Applegate & Linda Cardellini. Can‘t wait for the next season! 5y

wanderinglynn And I love that she‘s totally engrossed. ❤️📚 5y

LoverOfLearning That is darling ❤ love when babies talk like they're having conversations. Netflix hmmm. NEW GIRL!!! My absolute favorite show. It's funny and makes me happy. 5y

rockpools @Mitch Thank you - I‘ll check it out. 5y

rockpools @rabbitprincess PERFECT! Shaun‘s the best! 🐑 5y

rockpools @squirrelbrain She‘s so funny. Put her on your shoulder to wind her, and all of a sudden ‘Agoo-hooyou‘. ‘There‘s a Moomin behind me, isn‘t there?!‘ 5y

rockpools @wanderinglynn I haven‘t heard of that one - thanks - will check it out. 😊 5y

rockpools @LoverOfLearning Funny and Happy are order of the day - thank you - that‘s a good few things to get me started! 5y

squirrelbrain 👶😁😘 On the Netflix thing, I don‘t watch much (yet) but I love Queer Eye. It‘s very life-affirming and positive, just what we need right now. (Although sometimes I have a happy cry at the end, but that‘s fine too!) 5y

If you were thinking I included #TheThingummyBob just so I could post a picture of Thingummy and Bob, you'd be right. #RedRoseSeptember @Cinfhen
