Downton Abbey - A Celebration: The Official Companion to All Six Series | Jessica Fellowes

And on a lighter note, I thought I‘d pay tribute to poor, doomed but insanely beautiful Mr. Pamuk. 😆😬😳

Feeling cute; might die
in an Englishman‘s house tonight —
I‘ll ask Mary! 🐎

Mad Men: The Illustrated World | Dyna Moe

Did this one a few days ago & debated on posting it since it won‘t make much sense to you if you haven‘t seen it, but what the heck. This is from another of my favorite episodes of Mad Men, S5E10, Christmas Waltz. If you haven‘t seen Mad Men I can‘t recommend it enough!

Jaguar, jukebox, drinks —
flowers from Aly Khan; a
plate of spaghetti…

Mad Men: The Illustrated World | Dyna Moe

Today‘s haiku is inspired by one of my favorite episodes of my all-time fave show, Mad Men. If you‘ve seen S3E7, Guy Walks Into An Advertising Agency, you‘ll get me. 🤓

The Brits are coming;
never fear, Lois is here!
No more golf for Guy…

Love, Lucy | Lucille Ball, Betty Hannah Hoffman

pick

Gotta Love Lucy! 🙌🏻This is the lost memoir Lucille Ball started to record at the height of her career. It was somehow forgotten & discovered 20+ years later after the passing of Lucy and Desi Sr. It‘s truly a love letter from this Hollywood legend to all her fans. Loved the sizzling Lucy & Desi love story and hearing about Lucy‘s enduring friendship with Vivian Vance. Daughter Lucie‘s narration & touching intro blew me away. (Published 1996)

MemoirsForMe I had no idea that the streets and retail stores around the country were empty whenever “I Love Lucy” aired on TV. It was THAT popular! 🤩 1w

Schoolhouse Rock!: The Official Guide | Tom Yohe, George Newall

I have had this on loop all day. 250 years later, and we're still fighting this. Thanks to all who went out there today to fight the good fight. I got blindsided with a hellacious cold and didn't want to spread my germs, but I've been there in spirit. #resist 💙✊🏻♥️

If you've never seen Schoolhouse Rock, especially this one, it's worth 3 minutes of your time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZs3g3qIo

ChaoticMissAdventures I live in Portland Oregon so we are pretty learned in the protest ways. I was Bail Friend today. Meaning I hang out, all my friends have my number written on their arm and if they get arrested or sent to hospital I am in charge of organizing their release. We rotate Bail Friend duties. It has been a quiet day and all my people are done for the day so that feels good. 2w

Being Henry: The Fonz ... and Beyond | Henry Winkler

pick

I vaguely remember the repeats of 'Happy Days' but I was much more interested in spin-off 'Mork & Mindy' (shazbot!) in which the much-missed Robin Williams was absolutely hilarious. I digress, so anyway this is the autobiography of Henry Winkler, best known as 'The Fonz' (Ayyy) in Happy Days.

Winkler has been in a lot more than just 'Happy Days', not things that I have tended to watch in the main but I remember him in 'Scream'. (Continued)

OutsmartYourShelf Outside of his acting career, it was touching to see his realisation that he had lived with undiagnosed severe dyslexia for many years & that he has used this to write a series of children's books where the main character also has difficulties.

Winkler seems a nice guy from reading this, humble & genuinely interested in others. It was a nice, gentle read with lots of humour. 4🌟
