British fan of the Buffalo Bills. Lover of books, music, dance, theatre, film noir, yoga, Pilates and gardening. Not necessarily in that order!
It’s getting late over on this side of the pond, so here’s hoping that the 49ers maintain their lead for the rest of the game.

Well I have to admit to thinking Mahomes looked overly smug when the Bills played the Chiefs last season! I think my husband may not watch the Colts game, he’s too tense about it!!!
Oh, it’s so nice to know your name Catalina, you have a good week too. I’ll be preparing for Christmas!

Edge of your seat stuff again! Amazing game, butterflies in my tummy for most of the game 😂 Husband just preparing to watch Philip Rivers. Shame about Patrick Mahomes, looks really injured.

I wouldn’t call it noir, just because it’s in black and white. It’s just a brilliant film, that’s the only descriptor you need!

One of the best noirs imo. Fast paced, no waste, lots of humour, especially between Bogart and Lorre. Add to that a very young Elisha Cook Jr being outsmarted at every turn, but putting in a stellar performance as a baby faced killer. It’s a favourite, can you tell?!

Yes me too, although if it is an Achilles injury it’s unlikely, sadly.

It always makes for an interesting game when the teams are well matched. For the fans though, it makes you feel like you’re on a rollercoaster! I see the 49ers are playing the Titans next week, and the Colts on 23rd. My husband will be on tenterhooks for that game!!

We don’t have Panera Bread over here, so I just took a look at the menu and there’s a cherry pastry that looks absolutely gorgeous!

And Hawthorn too, that was lovely. Beautifully performed, as always.

I’m definitely a film noir fan, are you?

I could watch any film that Joseph Cotten was in. So menacing in Shadow of a Doubt and, if memory serves, such a good guy in Gaslight. I also wondered about the term ‘gaslighting’ having been adopted by younger people in recent years.

Likewise! But I can’t pretend to know much about the game. I’m not sure of the rules, and can’t predict the plays, but I certainly enjoy watching it. Funnily enough I never watch English soccer !!
Happy Thanksgiving for tomorrow.

Well the good luck wish worked! I hope it was an interesting game, with such a disparity between scores. It’s been such an interesting season, don’t you think?
Your QB is so young!! For all of the players it’s great to be so successful so young.
You have a great week too 😊

Thank you, but a loss for the Bills 😫 I get too emotionally involved, especially for a British fan!!

Yes, that’s very true!

Such a tense game as it went back and forth, very evenly matched teams it seemed to me. Elated at the Bills win, think I had been holding my breath for much of the game!!

Yes, I’ve never seen the Bills play so badly this season. JA looked exhausted, and James Cook was shut down so easily. I couldn’t believe my eyes!

Preparing to watch and yes, you never know what’s going to happen, but Go Bills!
