Did anyone watch The Thursday Murder Club movie? It’s on Netflix. I enjoyed it, but I liked the book more. The book goes deeper into the characters. It was nice to see the book realized, to see it visually.

We watched it last night.  I agree with everything you said.  I was very pleased with the cast.  Were you?  There was only one change from the novel that really bothered me.


We enjoyed it a great deal, too.  (I haven't read the books, but Skip has.)

Keith hasn't read the books either, and he liked it.

I am having really bad speech issues today, maybe the worst since this began. Just took pill one and Prednisone - hopefully that will help and I have to keep my mouth shut for a while. I've had almost no problems for the past two weeks, so this is worrisome. Maybe it's because I didn't take pill one until lunch.

~~~Continued Vibes for BK!!~~~

Made another offer on the condo, at a slightly higher price. Don’t know if he’ll accept or not. He may just rent it out.

Good luck, Jeanne!

Re Covid…I’ve heard of two studies that linked those who were able to get over Covid quickly with higher (50 to 80) vitamin D scores. Vitamin D levels can be tested with a simple blood test. It’s very difficult to get enough through just your food or sunshine. The supplements are very small capsules and are inexpensive.

Good to know.  I've been taking a vitamin D supplement for years.

I agree with DR Jeanne's assessment of The Thursday Murder Club. Still enjoyable, but the books are far better.

I expected as much, yet was pleased it was much better than I feared.  I look forward to the sequel.

I tried a cherry Twizzler, and BK, I agree with you. Liked it better than the Strawberry flavor.

I’m glad so many people enjoyed the TMC movie. 🍿

I think it helps to have read the books. The movie omits some things, including some of the humor. I found the books very witty.

Jane, I was very pleased with the casting. When I first heard that Celia Imrie was playing Joyce I said, “Oh, no.” But she played Joyce very well. A strong cast all around.

I do wish Bogdon was in it more. He and Elizabeth were my two favorite characters.

I now want to reread book 1. I have a reading backlog, though.

I miss the Joyce diaries bits from the books, but of course you can't really replicate that in a movie.
