  1. A lovely cup & sauce to start T for Tuesday off. I'll save this must see movie for later, when all the Tuesday tasks are done & someone better praise me for getting them done! (lol).

  8. I will try to find time tonight to watch this. It sounds sad, though. I was really impressed with your tea cup and saucer. I love the blue color and the design. You have some beautiful tea cups, dear. Thanks for sharing this beauty with us for T this Tuesday.

  15. I read several write ups on this and it sounds like an awesome movie. One said he showcases the oppression of women which was very progressive for 1939 and Japan as well. Even for today... I would like to watch it. Your tea cup looks so pretty. Wonder what flavor? Happy T-Day!

  17. This sounds like an interesting movie. I haven't been able to visit blogs much for many weeks now, because of my left hand injury, which makes typing difficult. (I'm okay for a little while, then my wrist starts to strain, so I can't type anymore after that.)

    I was keeping an ongoing list of movies to tell you about, but then I realized I wouldn't be able to type them all to leave as a comment. I've been seeing some good horror movies on Tubi. But some duds, too, where I simply shut them off.

    1. I had carpal tunnel syndrome back in my young working days, so I have some sympathy for hand issues. It makes it hard, especially in these typing-centric days.

      Ooo, a movie list! I hate what I'm missing out on lol I quit on a western the other night but then discovered Major Grom: Plague Doctor, which was lots of fun. I'm in hog heaven with all the movie availability lol
