I slept okay until around 3:15. Then I had a bathro while Thatch ran off to either the litter box or his favorite kibble. As soon as we were both in bed and I turned out the light, there was this huge crash, which I suspect was caused by Annabelle on her way down from her mountain chalet to my bed. It's probably a stack of books she's knocked onto the floor, and I will check out the situation later this morning, after coffee.

GRANTCHESTER spoiler question


singdaw or anyone who's watching GRANTCHESTER - Do you think it's 100% clear at the end of last season that the person the Vicar sees, who opens the door (and whom the camera doesn't show for some reason), is his mother?
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: Freddie on August 27, 2025, 04:11:06 AM
I guess the Vicar in GRANTCHESTER can no longer be called a randy Vicar, since he seemed anxious to settle down this past season.
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: elmore3003 on August 27, 2025, 04:11:48 AM
DR singdaw, I loved the first Marlow Murder Club, I've always loved Samantha Bond, who used to play villains, seductresses, and women of the world in a lot of BBC productions. I think her first non-seductress role I ever saw her in was Downton Abbey. I know they've filmed a second one. Is it now showing? The author has now written several books in the Murder Club series.

There are four Marlow mysteries now. The other three are these:

BK, is it possible that the fact that you're more likely (at least for a while, while the gift card can be used) to go have a really good meal these days means that what they've given you for doing the proofing is actually having a positive effect on your day to day life - just while you can use it, with the new pill schedule.
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: elmore3003 on August 27, 2025, 04:25:30 AM
Last night I dreamed that I went to the movies with my now-dead friend Pam Hollenbeck, her husband Paul, and two friends of theirs, who brought their baby. The movie was a new version of the Ken Russell film The Devils, which was based on a play adaptation by John Whiting from the Aldous Huxley history The Devils of Loudon.

So, we had to find five seats together in a crowded movie; then Paul spilled a whole bag of provisions he had brought, including grape soda, which caused a mess so he left. The movie was violent and unsettliong and Pam and I were appalled at the number of idiots who had brought young children.
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: singdaw on August 27, 2025, 04:26:23 AM
Yes, DR Freddie, it was my impression that the person at the door was the Vicar's mother. But I guess we'll have to wait to find out.
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: Freddie on August 27, 2025, 04:27:34 AM
Maybe they just haven't cast the Vicar's mother yet.

I knew it had been filmed, but I had no idea it was already in broadcast. This is exciting!
Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: ChasSmith on August 27, 2025, 07:21:20 AM
Ask BK:

First, I positively identified the westernmost storefront between the Hollywood and the old bank as being the Coffee Dan's that I knew. In the Ed Ruscha book there are 3 stores or businesses, and the 4th has the name Daniel's, which it must have transitioned to in late '72 or early '73.

New question!  There are a thousand pictures showing the Du-Pars on Vine St. near Capitol Records. But when I arrived in L.A. that was a restaurant called Munch Box, as evidenced by both the Ruscha book and a scribbled note I have from that year indicating "lunch at Munch Box" - a couple of days in a row - so I must have liked it. I have absolutely NO memory of that, either the name or the place, but I obviously was there. Do you remember it? Does anyone?

I am not too concerned but thanks to everyone for the comments.

Title: Re: THE NICE LUNCH OUT
Post by: Jane on August 27, 2025, 09:32:44 AM
Burning, called C&D, takes longer to heal and there isn't a second biopsy to know if they got all the cancer.

On the other hand, cutting me leaves a bit ugly scar.  Most of all, my scars seem to continue to hurt forever.

DR Chas did you cut or burn out the cancer on your arm?

Cut out. It was a tiny basal cell thingy and the incision was maybe an inch and a half long. It took only a matter of minutes for him to cut, stitch, and send me packing. I do remember it taking longer to completely heal than the Mohs surgeries, but he said things on our head heal the fastest and things on our limbs take longer. This was about four years ago and the scar has basically disappeared.

Mine is more like the one that was on my leg that required way too many stitches.  I should have a call back today telling me how many stitches would be required.

Manhattan Plaza has a 9th Avenue building and a 10th Avenue building, and each building has about 900 apartments, a mix of studio apartments, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. 

The package room is halfway down the block between 9th and 10th, and it takes care of both buildings of Manhattan Plaza (plus a few extra apartments that are along the plaza area that's between the two buildings).

I'm curious about the location of your package room.  Is this for more than one building?

Manhattan Plaza has a 9th Avenue building and a 10th Avenue building, and each building has about 900 apartments, a mix of studio apartments, one-bedrooms and two-bedrooms. 

The package room is halfway down the block between 9th and 10th, and it takes care of both buildings of Manhattan Plaza (plus a few extra apartments that are along the plaza area that's between the two buildings).



I hope it is secure.  Is there an actual person who works in the room?

Yes, there are several people who work in the room. Picking up a package requires your building ID.

"The name "haboob" comes from the Arabic word haab or habūb, meaning "wind" or "strong wind". The term originated to describe the violent dust storms in Sudan, and was later adopted by American scientists in the 1970s to refer to similar, intense dust storms generated by thunderstorm outflow in the U.S."

I'm not sure they thought there'd be ANY work done on this beyond me fixing the hundreds of formatting issues. But when I was doing it, I was just appalled at what I was seeing in terms of wrong quote mark, constant misspellings, style issues, and repetition without a point. I just decided what the HELL, you can't let someone release something like this is, so I just did it. At least it will resemble a book. I'm not sure if the content is for everyone - and I've tried to fix things that make her come off not well - not much of that, but I felt and she agreed that that stuff should go. But the good news is - the light is at the end of the tunnel. Less than seventy pages to go, and when I'm done tonight, it'll be fifty.

BTW, if anyone here missed out on A Boy Named Charlie Brown, we found another box of them. Before locating the box this thing was going for close to three hundred bucks on Discogs. I can't find any other copies for sale. I have it on Amazon but it doesn't even show up any way that I search it. Weird. Someone just bought it so I know it's there.

The most maddening thing to correct is her habit of suddenly writing about the past in the present tense, where it makes no sense, and doesn't mesh with other sections of the book. That takes forever to fix. But I mush on because I musht.
