I almost wanna play a guessing game @Shaz51 ... what kind of frames would our dear Shazzy have? Cos you have such style, all your nifty teapots and art bits... so the frames... I picture cat eye!

Oh I gotta dash, find out if I was right tomorrow hehehe

Night lovely Shaz!!

After a certain age, guess we have seen most of the screen offerings…. They need to be worth watching… and hype is not quality… otherwise I’d rather listen to the birds.

you have done pretty well dealing with so many health challenges… 

sometimes having a body is a real pain 

aint it 

you’d know that too @Shaz51 

thank goodness for our gardens 

@rav3n ah you studied it too

I was also enjoying Nollywood… films about 10 years ago 

from Nigeria

had some good distance friends from Africa… til Facebook locked me out of my account 

Yes, my son said the same thing re the long series form compared with movies…. That is why I enjoyed Maxima…you couldn’t do justice to the complexity of many psychological and social issues… in the shorter form…. Yet I also love poetry….

my mum loved Nollywood films, she's a big fan of their humour and expressions. @Appleblossom 

oh no!! you couldn't get your Facebook recovered? it's such a confusing process sometimes, hopefully you get a chance to connect with those friends from Africa again.

so true!! there's a poet named Rupi Kaur who wrote the Sun and her Flowers (and immigrant relationship with immigrant parents, specially mum and daughter). the book was super quick read but the impact lasts forever.

I ended up sending parcels by shipping to both Nigerian and Uganda to those friends @rav3n 

I chatted with them online through the Covid lockdown era. It was good in that I had read Nigerian authors and could really talk with them about the arts and society and politics. The Ugandan was running a children music project/ combo orphanage.

my son was worried I was being scammed 

I did wire them money too, but I felt there was enough genuine need 

I let go of Facebook… mostly using the forums as social media
