pickPaul O‘Grady was a comedian, actor, TV presenter, chat show host and British national treasure. The third in his autobiographical quartet charts the 1980s as he hones Lily Savage in Northern clubs (dragging Vera with him), overseas and London‘s gay clubs and searches for love in all the wrong places. But tragedy isn‘t far away as HIV starts to bite and O‘Grady suffers more loss closer to home that even his sharp wit struggles to see the humour in.
I used to watch this show every week, and my husband would tease me because I cried just about every episode. #angel #coverlove

I‘m in love with this
Édith Piaf is a favourite of mine ♥️
so-soI respect Reeve for his courageous battle with his spinal cord injury and the work he did to raise awareness, esp. in fighting for insurance coverage. As someone who works in physical therapy, I also enjoyed the PT aspect of his memoir. But as a whole, I just felt this was a so-so book. Short, but it jumped around a lot and didn‘t feel very cohesive.
so-soSydney‘s story of how he grew up is heartbreaking. However, he begins to find his way around he seems to have lost his identity and the book rambles on quite a bit…. which makes it hard to follow.
RIP Bob Newhart . The shows were great and what about playing papa Elf in Elf? Fantastic ! May give these a listen today, it‘s been awhile.
1. Ha . Why yes, yes I do. Lists, schedules, calendars….
2. Katharine Graham has always inspired me.
One of her books is tagged.

pickShe's great, not just at singing/making music but also as a writer, a chronicler and making sense of stuff.
I was a late comer to EBTG in the 90s so this was good to understand her, and their, beginnings and journey.
bailedAnd I‘m on a bail roll. This is horrible on audio. Billy Dee is reading it and I just can‘t. It‘s like he can‘t read 😣 maybe he gets his groove on but I‘m not sticking around which is sad cuz I loved him in Mahogany and Star Wars #hewillalwaysbeLando
