The car goes in to the garage for a couple of days, so I’m marooned.
Before this happened, I shopped, ran errands and met my sister in law for lunch.
It was raining and humid when I got home and I found myself reading an article on King Juan Carlos and
Queen Sophia of Spain.
He was a bit of a dog to her by all accounts,
I got enthralled in the Spanish Royal family and forgot to blog
Silly me.
I like Felipe, he is also an arguably more progressive monarch than Queen Elizabeth or King Charles In 2015, Felipe became the first monarch to appear on the cover of gay magazine, Ragap. The cover photo was in connection with a profile the magazine ran on King Felipe's progressiveness with regards to "homosexual, bisexual, and transsexual topics." That is not the first or only progressive move King Felipe has made in this area, though. He was the first Spanish head of state to meet with LGBT groups — and he did so during his very first week in office.
I remember that I never mentioned the death of Donald Sutherland an interesting actor who became a firm favourite after shining in the likes of Dont Look Now, Mash, Klute and Ordinary People.
As an old man, his best performance was in this scene as Mr Bennett in Pride and Prejudice. Underplaying Knightly and winning the scene
A few examples of what I binged on Netflix
I remember him as a young boy, appearing all over the Spanish media with his family back then when we lived in Tenerife. They were an attractive family.
ReplyDeleteHe shrieks warm
DeleteGood for him!
ReplyDeleteAnd he's damned good looking:)
ReplyDeleteHe’s mine
DeleteI bet he has a lively chihuahua. x
ReplyDeleteNow strange as it would seem that made me laugh
DeleteYes, I like King Felipe as far as kings go. Thanks to Juan Carlos I think Spain came out of the Franco years successfully. Too bad what he turned out to be after all that.
ReplyDeleteWhat do the Spaniards think of him
DeleteKing Felipe? He’s overall very popular. About 60% of Spaniards still fully support the constitutional monarchy. Apparently, his daughter Princess Leonora is even more popular.
DeleteHe’s a looker that’s for sure
ReplyDeleteLee
Oh he’s lovely
DeleteMy favorite Donald Sutherland Movie is "Eye of the Needle". He shone as one of the best "bad guys" in the movies.
ReplyDeleteAnd his worse the alien with the perm
DeleteThe body snatchers
I'd let Felipe get doggy with me x
ReplyDeleteOlè
DeleteAm glad you got your errands run and that the village and sea are within walking distance while you're marooned. No doubt someone will give you a ride should the need arise.
ReplyDeleteAh, Donald Sutherland. Always a favorite in this household. He will be missed.
Hugs!
His sweet Oscar win

Oh, that scene from Pride and Prejudice was wonderful! Sutherland was one of my favorite actors after I saw him many years ago in "M.A.S.H." and I recently just watched it again with great pleasure.
ReplyDeleteMe too….this time with hindsight I understood it more. Donald was luminous in pride and prejudice
DeleteOh yes
ReplyDeleteI hope Felipe doesn't have his fingers in the till like his father and sister. Poor Sophia, her daughter in law isn't all that patient with her either.
