Karen OBrien

@Avonleebythesea I'm reading Anna Karenina at the moment. Levin's happiness whilst he's in the fields with the workers really hammers home the fact that contentment can be found in the small things in life. I've reached part five of the novel and absolutely love it.😃😃

This is the life Tolstoy longed for, the one he tried to get us to recognize through both Anna Karenina and War and Peace; it is not fame, passion, war, success that bring meaning, but the simple beauty of hard work in a field beneath an autumn sun, a wife and child waiting at home, a glass of wine, a beloved book, the worn hand of a grandmother, the peace of a life that is rich with moments.

The ‘PEAKY BLINDERS’ sequel series will pick up after the events of the film, with plans for two new six-episode seasons. “Once again, it will be rooted in Birmingham and will tell the story of a city rising from the ashes of the Birmingham Blitz. The new generation of Shelbys have taken the wheel, and it will be a hell of a ride,” says Steven Knight. via @netflix

@DavieMcfadyen We always look after our own, Davie...👍👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😃😃

@mrskmob1 Think they had a pile on in America after Baftas but everyone in Scotland was behind him 💪🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I've been waiting for this to be released for ages and I wasn't disappointed. And yes, I was sobbing at the end! Now I'm going to rewatch the entire #PeakyBlinders series. Loved it! #TheImmortalMan

@80s_Kidz That movie stayed with me for my entire life. So traumatising....😭😭

It's nearly that time of year when we were traumatised forever😢

@DavieMcfadyen Yes, I've seen it. 😃 I felt sad for him, especially in school and what happened at the BAFTA',s was disgusting. But God, I did laugh out loud too....🤣🤣

@mrskmob1 That's on my list , have you watched I Swear some bits make you laugh but overall it's pretty sad what he went through 😱

@DavieMcfadyen Hahahahahaaha 🤣🤣 I know what you mean about the music! 🤣🤣 But a lot of programmes are like that nowadays. Cillian Murphy has been brilliant! Big shoes to fill. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Have you seen A Thousand Blows on Disney? Stephen Graham leads . It's great too! 😃😃

@mrskmob1 Hi Karen enjoyed the movie though thought title Immortal man meant Tommy Shelby sad to see him gone don't know what that means for upcoming series without all the original Shelbys only other complaints I thought music was too loud probably more to do with my age 👍😂

@everymovieplug Focussed on making way for the next generation of Peaky Blinders, I thought it was a fitting send off. 9/10. 😃

If you’ve watched, gracefully rate it out of 10.

@DavieMcfadyen Look forward to hearing what you think! 😃 Have a good week Davie,n 🥰

@mrskmob1 Will do Karen thanks will send you my review either way 😁👍

@DavieMcfadyen A lot of people didn't enjoy it Davie, but I thought it was good. It's paved the way for the new series coming soon, with a new generation of characters. See what you think...😃

@mrskmob1 On my radar Karen take it you recommend it 👌😀👍

@IPhillips79 I adore the Carry On movies. Naughty and funny. Just fab! 😃

Carry On Up The Khyber - Sir Sidney & Lady Ruff-Diamond meet the Khasi of Kalabar (1968) Opening scene of the classic Carry On film. The Ruff-Diamonds 😂Sid James & Joan Sims brilliant as usual (Joan in her very best Carry On role IMO) as well as the rest of the vintage cast.

@Marylaw59112593 Morning Mary. 😃😃 Hope the week ahead is bright and sunny!! ☀️☀️🥰

Good morning from Cork 🙋‍♀️💞💞💞

@perfectrose2011 @arealmofwonder There's definitely something in our DNA, Wendy. Since I was a little girl, I always felt a strong connection to Ireland. I've never been there, but always felt it held something for me. Recently, I found out my great great grandfather was Irish. The ancestors do reach out. 🥰

@mrskmob1 @arealmofwonder I agree. Being born in London, England, I've visited other areas on trips back to the UK many times after my parents & I immigrated to Vancouver, Canada when only six yrs. old. A first time visit to Cardiff, I felt I'd been there before. Ancestors perhaps? Souls touching ours?

It's so real...

@ST0NEHENGE Fantastic! Wish I was there...😃

@inthezoneuk @moving_charlie I literally just said this to my husband. The money has allegedly been spent, but has it really? Or is it lining the pockets of the corrupt elite? A clever accountant can make any money disappear

You do start to wonder if this is a legal way to launder money to friends and VIPs knowing the next Government will likely stop it. It’s amazing anything gets built these days. I read that it costs £335K per cell built for a new prison. That’s bonkers. No wonder the debt is increasing. It can’t continue.

This is deeply symbolic of the British Bureaucracy sickness we are suffering from. £179m spent, for literally nothing. World class waste.

@bbcpress Looking forward to this! 😃

@shesrideordie Damn right she was...💯🥰

She was right, the whole time. #SinéadOConnor

@NiallHarbison I cannot understand how anyone can leave a dog in those conditions! Thank goodness your team was there to help. Good luck in your retirement home, Tofu. You'll never struggle again...💕

Someone drove him to a remote spot. He was weak and left there to die. Luckily we got word. Tofu wasn't ready to go and although his sight isn't perfect he is very happy in our little retirement village with his senior friends. Glad to give him his dignity back
