Around the House

Cozy Comfort

Time to relax…

The day after the recent eclipse I had a appointment to get my hair cut. This was a brilliantly beautiful day with loads of sunshine and few, if any, clouds. My driver knew all the ways to get around town without being stuck in traffic, so I got to enjoy some lovely scenery, too.

Later that day, however, the weather started to shift and we entered a rainy period. Rumor is expecting almost 2 inches. I am glad I do not need to be outside for any reason.

What this means, however, is that I am entering a Cozy Comfort Zone. You know, nice music, good munchies, finding a great movie or catching up on a series (or 2 or 3) that have been waiting for your attention. Or, as in my case, finding an old favorite BritCom to curl up with.

My usual early evening appointment is with ‘Allo, ‘Allo over on Pumpkin FM but you can find it on various platforms. I might segue over to ‘Are You Being Served?’ afterwards. This evening, however, I chose the very first episode to the sequel of ‘Are You Being Served?’ which is known here in the US as ‘Are You Being Served, Again?’ although in its’ original form it was known as ‘Grace and Favour’.

I enjoy quite a few of the old BritComs. The comedy is fun, often the language is a bit cheeky, and the target audience is over 25.

Another of my favorites is ‘Dinner Ladies’. I started listening to it on Pumpkin FM but found episodes on YouTube. This was a lovely series set in a factory cafeteria just before 2000. Great cast, too.

Oddly enough, when I seek out comfy TV it is something similar to these shows. Perhaps it is because they were not what I grew up watching? <shrug>

Off to grab a cuppa and curl up for a bit…
