  1. "Waiting for Anya" sounds good. I love Angelica Huston. And I enjoyed Josh O'Connor in "The Durrells" too, playing the obnoxious Larry.

    1. the third season will start, methinks, very very soon. You haven't watched God's Own Country? It's gay :) He plays a manly farmer who gets some Romanian hunky asylym seeker as a farmhand and then they fall a bit for each other... stuff from dreams :)

  3. Because I’m planning out Ireland now, Sea Fever sounds like something I should avoid. No bad thoughts of getting sick need to be filling my head before we leave.
