I didn’t need to be in work today
I didn’t want to be there.
My manager is a good one and I took time owing and left early.
I was sat in the cinema in llandudno minutes later watching the mindless Ticket To Paradise which is a rom com of sorts.
Cinema has always provided me with a safe place to go through my childhood and adult life.
It’s a place to get lost in
And it’s a place to mislay your feelings
I came home and made Italian bean and Ham soup thickened with gnocchi instead of potato
And ate a hearty bowl of it whilst listening to The Archers
Am I shallow?
GEORGE CLOONEY’s big OLD MAN EARLOBES HAVE REALLY PUT ME OFF HIM ?
Discuss……
Hope today's adventures have helped lift your mood. And while you are still creating food, as opposed to waiting for a ready meal to ping, you are still very much OK. Trust me!
ReplyDeleteYes I knew I had to cook tonight
DeleteSounds like you did what was needed to lift your mood. That soup looks like a hug in a bowl. xx
ReplyDeleteIt tastes earthy, what with the gnocchi
DeleteEveryone needs to just check out once in a while.
ReplyDeleteI’m watching and laughing at Taskmaster right now before bed
DeleteArchers, hummm right old carry on. What do you make of it John? Tess x
ReplyDeleteAll a bit silly , they try too much to balance drama with comedy
DeleteGood for you to be good to you!
ReplyDeleteThe soup looks absolutely delicious and it's soup weather here today, too.
I'll have to watch for that rom-com movie,
It's breezy here today but Hurricane Ian has turned the other way and our kids in FL are fine. Whew!
Hugs!
And with that last sentence proper perspective
DeleteThe Archers??? I have listened to it since 1964,, and love it, even listened in Australia. So, it was Ben, I had my money on George! Sounds like the visit to the cinema and homemade soup has lift your spirits, yes all will past with time, altho' the thoughts linger.
ReplyDeleteThe Archers writing is always heavy handed but I love listening
DeleteI always half listen to the Archers on a Sunday. Can't wait to find out what was Ben and not George!! The baby?
DeleteThe earlobes,? Not the grey hair? Not his history of being unable to commit to love? It is always the little things that make one tick, or not.
ReplyDeleteBilly Connolly did a classic sketch on the very subject - and how ears and noses sprout hair as you grown older. Not a normal comment to make, or admit to observing!
DeleteThat looks a good, hefty soup. Just right for the weather to come.
ReplyDeleteYes, you are shallow, but being deep is over-estimated. We are all just worm food soon enough.
ReplyDeleteA bit deep but taken
DeleteYour soup looks delicious. Perfect for a cool Fall day. I never noticed ears. That is, until you pointed out Clooney's big ears. Now, I'll be comparing and contrasting.
ReplyDeleteYou are a good man John and you have wonderful friends, fantastic doggies and Alfred and you are a great storyteller
ReplyDeleteGood wishes and big hugs from Adelaide🇦🇺

DeleteEvery person is who they are because of how they do and are in life. Each person is most likely shallow at some time or another , if you want to call it shallow, I would just call it a preference. You know what you like. Any of the soup left...scootch on over and hand me a cup. :)
ReplyDeleteWait...George Clooney has earlobes????! I hadn't noticed...
ReplyDeleteClooney always reminds me of Phillip Schofield. They could be father and son!
ReplyDeleteMy reactions to most celebrities are definitely shallow. I'm not keen on large ears but on someone I liked it wouldn't matter at all.
ReplyDeleteThe soup sounds just what you needed at the moment.
Never noticed his earlobes, but then I don't tend to swoon over celebrities anymore. What puts me off someone is bitten nails, you know the ones when they've chewed them right down. Yuk! I guess we all have turn offs. xx
ReplyDeleteLol.
DeleteSo sorry you’re ending it with Clooney. You made such a nice couple.
ReplyDeleteIt's part of getting older. Big ears, big nose, hairy ears, hairy nostrils, balding head, muscle loss, baggy skin, wiry eyebrows failing eyesight, deafness, toothless....... you've hit a nerve with me today. I wish large earlobes was all I had to worry about.
ReplyDeleteEarlobes grow with age? Well you live and learn. To be fair, though, Mr C has always had pretty large earlobes….now to check the size of Mr Crowe’s earlobes….hmm they seem to be pretty big as well.
ReplyDeleteLarge earlobes on GC? They just give me more to nibble on! X
ReplyDeletenope George went downhill years ago for me. Hard pass
ReplyDeleteWe all have to get old darling and our bits and pieces age too - ear lobes are the least of my worries and come way down the list after teeth, hearing, eyesight, waistline and a whole lot more. xx
ReplyDeleteOn the positive about George Clooney - maybe something else has gotten larger too x🍌
ReplyDeleteOooh er, missus! xx
DeleteI trust 'old man's ear lobes' aren't a euphemism for a senior gentleman's 'hanging baskets'? I once stood behind an elderly gentleman who was wearing very loose shorts and nothing to hold anything in place beneath, as he attempted to climb over a stile. The view still horrifies me years later!
ReplyDeleteOh lord….I’ve unleashed a monster
DeleteNow, I have never fancied Brad Pitt, because of his huge nostrils - have a look!
ReplyDeleteWell I never
DeleteThose ear lobes are like the wobbly bits on Turkeys! I would happily hold hands with his wallet though, I am both fickle and greedy x
ReplyDeleteYes, the more I look at them the more I’m put off , how fickle am I ?
DeleteNot fickle, Just choosy x
DeleteI was never a Clooney fan, even in his younger, hotter years.
ReplyDeleteShocked John, Shocked! Mr Clooney will ever be the modern epitome of suave good looks. How very dare you! LOL
ReplyDeleteIn that photo, Ms. Roberts' earlobes (minus the earrings) aren't much smaller than Mr. Clooney's ... I found that surprising.
ReplyDeleteK in Colorado
I completely agree, ugh droopy, flabby, large earlobes it's a NO from me 😉 👂
