Watching a lot of TV
 |
| The Great British Baking Show is winding down for the year. I like watching, but mostly I’m not tempted by the pastries they bake. The meringues sounded pretty good, though. We have faithfully watched each week as it’s being released. |
 |
| “Elsbeth” Season 3 is much more comical than the previous seasons — we watched one more this week. The effective detective still wears unusual hats and carries 3 shopping bags. A very fun series! |
 |
| Nero Wolfe and his trusty sidekick Archie now speak Italian (with subtitles). It’s a little strange, but watchable. I’ve only seen one episode. |
One Boring Book
 |
| The Hollow Man: by John Dixon Carr: A Classic. Also a very boring book. I forced myself to at least scan to the end. |
One Intriguing Short Story Anticipating Halloween |

I unplugged my TV a year ago because I never watched it. I spent too much time on my iPad and phone, so I need to rest my eyes sometimes.
My TV is on from the time I wake up to the time I go to bed. I'm not always watching it. It is more for background noise. But I do actually watch some great movies and series. Love the Halloween pics.
I love Elsbeth, great series. Not much into cooking shows. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Mae.
I totally get the struggle with a boring "classic". It feels wrong to give up, but sometimes scanning to the end is the only way to save your sanity. Glad you made it through The Hollow Man.
I love the Halloween walk around your neighborhood. I was in one area of town and I turned the corner and saw Jason staring me straight in the eye with a spotlight on him in the pitch black dark and I really had to second-guess whether it was Halloween season or not, and was totally freaked out.!
By the way, Halloween seems to be getting earlier and earlier every year because this weekend there were so many trunk or treats. I think Halloween is falling on a Friday and everyone is probably doing possible to make Halloween safe and they probably don’t want kids out after school late at night on friday I guess.
