I've never been one for physical activity, especially if it's to a practical end, so to relieve me from the tedium of mowing the lawn, we got a robomower!
In best Asimovian tradition, he's been anthropomorphised, and named Ian, after letters in his serial number. 🤖
I can take no credit for setting it up, which my practically-minded son kindly did when he visited yesterday.
Book and a glass of wine in the late evening sun? Don't mind if I do 😊

#ThreeListThursday

This made me remember all the popular disaster movies of the 70‘s. Favorites on the list:

Fiddler on the Roof
Raiders of the Lost Arc
Witness
Mary Poppins

See @dabbe ‘s original post to play along!

This collection of nine short stories published in 1950 is extraordinary with its vision of a future with robots. Each story could stand alone but they collectively tell a larger story. The famous “Three Laws of Robotics” first appears here. Really interesting and well-thought out. Hard to believe that this was written well before artificial intelligence was developed. Bravo!

Few ideas for 'Now' discussion of Sense & Sensibility. I can't wait to see what everyone read & watched! 📖📚📺

Today's Monday Night Hockey is The Jets vs The Sharks. So now I have this stuck in my head: https://youtu.be/twbuT1V5mFE?si=OZWRSdfkL4zPu_v6

Watched these two adaptations over the last two evenings and I truly love both. I had forgotten Anna Madeley (Mrs. Hall of All Creatures Great & Small) was Miss Lucy Steele. Maybe the 2008 3 episode series has a slight edge since it has more content than 1995 film.

I spent this afternoon working on my reading journal and watching the Sense and Sensibility movie. I've always loved this adaptation. I feel that it highlights all the best parts and portrays all the relationships even better than the book 😅
