Senses working overtime #544

1 Term 4, week 1:  

2 R.I.P. John Lodge

Remember me (My Friend) - on Blue Jays (Justin Hayward and John Lodge) is my obvious choice to remember him by.

3 Reading: Our Mutual Friend - Charles Dickens

4 Listening: Frog City - Southern Comfort

Try - Get Back Home

5 Listening: Diana Wichtel and Ali Mau

Jacky and I attended a Readers & Writers event as part of this year's Hawke's Bay Arts Festival. Both authors read from their recent work - Unreel (Diana), No Words For This (Ali). 

It was great to see an old friend (Diana) and hear them both talk about their creative process. I had previously bought both of Di's books, but I also bought Ali's about her family history.

Overtime: Robert Orben

Time Flies. It's up to you to be a navigator.

1 It's Groundhog Day...again

Wahoo - one of our favourite films of all time has been made into a musical!

2 Thor Part 3

Not sure about this new look Thor with short hair. I'm not a fan of the films but I LOVED the comics when I was growing up.

3 King Kong reboot

Here we go again. Interesting reading - the new version of Kong and the on-going appeal for this beast of a story (laugh it up Fuzzball).

4 Honeybees go 'whoop whoop'

Fascinating stuff! Apparently bees make that sound when they bump into each other. This article explores what they are communicating.

5 Planet Earth 2

In keeping with the animal kingdom theme for a lot of this edition - here's how the genius BBC team filmed that thrilling iguana chase on Snake Island.

MTM - This one is for my dad who loved Mary Tyler Moore! Here she is in five performances that sum up her talent.
