Happy new week, friends! How are you all doing? How was your weekend? What are you up to these days? Not much to add on my end. The week just flew by and so did the weekend. We are in stage two of re-opening and my hometown is much further along. Very soon I'll be contacting loved ones that I haven't seen in the longest time and book dates to get together. I can't wait to see them!
In entertainment, we are presently watching Black Earth Rising on Netflix. It's a limited series that is fictional but it does touch upon real events of the Rwandan genocide. It's quite well done. And in books, I keep bouncing around from one to another. I can't seem to settle down with one and totally immerse myself. I've read so many books throughout my life that it's difficult to find something that truly captures my attention. Anyone else have this problem? Any book recommendations?
Okay, let's get to what you're really here for...to laugh! Enjoy the images below and have a wonderful week ahead!
Enjoyed the laughs today. Yay on getting your second vaccines! I was happy when we got past 2 weeks of that shot.
ReplyDeleteWe're hitting two weeks tomorrow, so we're very happy. We will be making plans with friends and family very soon!
DeleteYour wonderful selection of funnies always makes me smile!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you enjoy them!
DeleteMartha, thanks for the laughs. Yes, those who believe in conspiracy theories certainly do lack critical thinking skills. Also got a kick out of the court cartoon.
ReplyDeleteAlways enjoy sharing these with all of you. We need all the humour we can get!
DeleteThe conspiracy-theory types are indeed the most gullible people in the world. They'll believe anything, just so long as it doesn't have any evidence supporting it.
ReplyDeleteThe Bill Gates pic expresses something I've often thought. If anybody ever set up a monitoring system to spy on me like that, they'd be bored out of their minds.
You and me both! He'd spend most of his time dozing on following my life!
DeleteGood news about the opening up things... and laughter is good and these cartoons made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed, Sandy. We'll be getting to stage 3 by Friday and I'm very happy about that.
DeleteI read my first book since the beginning of covid a week ago. Now I have out of Africa. My dad was a voracious reader. One time I asked him how he could read so much. He said, "Oh , I skip a lot. I know what's going to happen!"
ReplyDeleteI'm a little bit like your father. I don't typically know what's going to happen but I do have a habit of skimming through a book!
DeleteI read mostly non-fiction, but one good series free with Kindle Unlimited is The Klepto Cat series by Patricia Fry. There are 50 books to keep you amused. Great bunch of funnies- I like the cat researching Scuba diving. Have a great week. XO
ReplyDeleteOh, I'll have to check that out! That's a lot of books to enjoy. Thanks for mentioning it. xo
DeleteAccording to one blogger who no longer has my attention, I'm a member of the sheep party for getting the vaccine. He's just jealous because I can communicate with my thoughts since I got my microchip. I can even turn on the TV without touching the remote. I especially like throw him in the river and see if he floats. Books: have you read anything by Anne Tyler? I'm a big fan, although I don't care for the first couple of books she wrote. I finished Clock Dance yesterday. It's not very long and parts of it are funny. I always relate to her characters. I also like everything I've read by Ann Patchett, Amy Tan, and Joyce Carol Oates. Love Jane Austen's books--Emma is my favorite. On Netflix I'm watching the CBC series Workin' Moms, which I think is very funny. On Hulu I'm watching The Handmaid's Tale and I re-read the book, which I love. I like some other Margaret Atwood books, too: The Blind Assassin, Alias Grace, Cat's Eye, and The Robber Bride. Here's wishing you a happy week, love bug.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Oh, Janie! I love all these suggestions. I'm going to look into them. I have read The Handmaid's Tale but it was a very long time ago. I may get into it again.
DeleteI like being part of the sheep party. Very cool bunch of people with superpowers! Still waiting to become magnetic, though... HAHA
Female authors: Ann Cleeves, Caroline Graham and Alex Gray. Male authors: Colin Dexter and Jonas Jonasson. All Crime writers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestions!
Deletethis is nice that your city has started to lift all the restrictions dear Martha
ReplyDeletethere are so many people like you and me starving to meet love ones whom they have not seen in ages indeed ,i hope and pray may such times never repeat itself .,i am far behind you in privilege of reading so i hope you will find great recommendations from other friends :)
more blessings to you and loved ons!
series you mentioned sounds good
I can't wait to see many of the people that I've really missed. I know you feel that way, too! Hopefully the world begins to become more and more "normal" as the moths go by.
Deletewe are in phase 3 of 5 now. We will see how it all goes and see if people will still be a little cautious as they should.
ReplyDeleteAlways knew cats are smart!! lol
Have a good week, Martha.
We'll be starting phase 3 in a few days, Jim. And like you, I hope people will be as cautious as they have to be, so we can keep moving forward. Wishing you a wonderful week ahead!
DeleteI got my 2nd vaccine a few months ago
ReplyDeleteI was hoping to become Magneto
You got yours really early! I'm just glad we're done.
DeleteGood to hear you both have your second dose of vaccine, as do both of us. Time to get together with family and friends is needed.
ReplyDeleteYes! Time to enjoy time with our loved ones!
DeleteLOL at the sheep! I need more foil. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou and me both, Rain! LOL
DeleteA very good collection of chuckles Martha, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThe first two are my favourites.
All the best Jan
Always a pleasure, Jan! I hope you've enjoyed a lovely weekend.
DeleteI enjoyed your collection of chuckles. They made me smile!
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday, Martha.
Thank you so much, Veronica! I'm really late getting to your comment and I hope you're doing well.
