OMG I am going to use that line about something smelling like the tunnel to hell at every opportunity.

Department Q is soooo good! I wish they had a second series, going through withdrawals without it. Love a good suspense.

Charlotte, thank you so much for sharing my work! Truly means a lot. I love, love your Listopias. Such generosity for the rest of us. I missed Diane’s piece and am so glad you shared. It’s funny-sad-lovely. Hermann’s daughter is straight up hilarious. I see her future? I had read Melissa’s piece and I love the subtle skewering in it. Eternal adoration for Van Morrison, and what sucked me into Inspector Q were the characters. I already miss them. Just discovered Garbage. We have a great independent radio station here. Shome’s posts are so vulnerable, real, funny too. Did not know your back was out, and I’m so sorry. But you spent your infirmary well- for us! Thank you again. Going to get to the rest of this wonderful curation.💕

Gina, your essay was just wonderful! I enjoyed reading it very much.

Re: Dept Q - it took me a couple of episodes to tolerate the Carl Morch character. I felt like he was overacting (I was not a fan of his Downton Abbey character so I think I was biased.) but I mellowed towards him as the series unfolded. Loved Akram from the start! So many of the actors were familiar from other crime dramas so that was cool.

Re: music - you should check out the website I linked toon both albums. It’s become my go-to for newly released music.

As always, thanks for reading. 🩷💚💛
