carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 15/09/2026@70up @ITV Its interesting to see how many of the 70yrolds don't seem to be enjoying retirement. Unlike me, I love my life at 70. Music, reading, the sea and friends are enough for me. Watching this show helps me see where I fit in and what changes my generation has lived through 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I love watching 'A House Through Time' with @davidolusoga.bsky.social on bbc It is always fascinating to see history played out through the lives of local people. Edinburgh looks majestic. If only history lessons at school had been this interesting. Excited to see all episodes. 020
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 13/08/2026What will you remember from 'The Summer of '26'? I will remember how many ice poles I consumed!! Never usually buy them but at 75p, they're a bargain, extra long & remind me of my childhood. Cherry flavour is my favourite. 030
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 19/07/2026What did I think of 'The Odyssey?' I am getting so old that I couldn't remember much from school but it didnt matter. Nolan's film is entertaining. Its not as great as all the hype but an epic nonetheless. Highlights: Samantha Morton as Circe & evil Robert Pattinson's Antinous. 100
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Blues skies at Wolverton Blues and Folk Fair, Milo starting us off well with some rocking blues! 000

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 08/10/2025Today's episode 3 of Series 5 is my favourite episode EVER (so far) of '#SlowHorses'! Absolutely brilliant script, all performances & story! Such a lot to admire and laugh at. @slowhorsesappletv.bsky.social @appletves.bsky.social #garyoldman #christopherchung #saskiareeves 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 01/09/2025Hey, who wants to see a very silly but very enjoyable film? #JamieLeeCurtis is fabulous in 'Freakier Friday'. Maybe it's extra funny because we have aged alongside her and can laugh at ourselves at the same time... recommended 010
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 17/08/2025Sad to hear that that beautiful man, #TerrenceStamp has died... so many great performances. Who can forget his Sgt Troy in 'Far from the Madding Crowd'? 60s icon. 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 17/08/2025I've been letting my number of gigs slip recently, so have just booked to see The Cinelli Brothers @ Strings in I.O.W. Marco particularly likes Freddie King & hot belly dancers! Watch interview: youtu.be/O0ojzjBx5vo?... 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Such a big fan of @michaelsheen.bsky.social since seeing him @ thedonmar many years ago in Frost Nixon, great actor & man. This afternoon I watched #Nye @nationaltheatre.org.uk Michael was great and the play exquisitely produced, as usual there. Emotional & punchy, loved it. 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 31/07/2025Trip up to London yesterday to see 'Inter Alia' @nationaltheatre.org.uk with Gerry Dauncey. #RosamundPike gives it her all... 000

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 11/07/2025Anyone else find Andre Agassi's voice very alluring as he's commentating on the mens' semifinal @ Wimbledon? Please ditch #andrewcastle @BBCOne and replace with Andre's knowledgeable commentary & great voice. 010
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 21/06/2025This Wednesday we will sadly holler 'Adios' to Chuckaroo the Buckaroo on KPOV High Desert Radio. CTB (aka Charles Engel) has been roping in some beautiful tracks for us since 2005. His saddle pals say a big 'thank you' as he rides on up the Trail. A modern day penpal to me, via email. #westernswing 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 20/06/2025Surely not another strong, intelligent woman from the 15 hundreds? @charliehigson.bsky.social @wwhspodcast & #AmyLicence discuss Margaret Beaufort's power behind thrones.

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 09/05/2025You like Anne Boleyn? You'll LOVE Elizabeth Woodville, says Lacey Bonar Hull, who also sheds a light on how British history is viewed in US. Sounded to me as if interest is personality led, a sort of historical Comi Con. Make up your own mind, listen to @charliehigson.bsky.social @wwhspodcast 000
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 25/04/2025Do Oxford's Saint Scholastica's Day Riots mean anything to you? Never heard of 'Town vs Gown'?

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 20/01/2025Just indoors from seeing #ACompleteUnknown Exceeded my expectations and Timothée Chalamet smashed it. Loved the 60s Greenwich Village vibe created. Not an impression but he captured 'Bobby'. Very, very good film. #rydecommodore 010
carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 18/01/2025There are some historic characters you really wish you'd met, William Marshall is one. Listening to @monstroso and Sophie Therese Ambler, he comes across as astute, brave and loyal. @wwhspodcast 'Greatest Knight in Christendom' 000

carryonsmiling.bsky.social @carryonsmiling.bsky.social · 22/11/2024It seems #HenryVIII (boo) & #OliverCromwell (hiss) managed to destroy pretty much all that represented British Art in their day.
