Friday Favorites - August 22, 2025

 

A quick wrap-up of a few of my favorites this week.

After a nasty stomach upset and the associated diarrhoea, we stopped feeding Malone kibble and switched him to The Farmer's Dog.  He's doing great and can't wait for meal times.

In human food news, Costco's French Toast Bagels are amazing!

Lots of great TV coming up.

The Thursday Murder Club premieres on Netflix on August 28.  Solving crime over tea and biscuits, how can you not love that?  What a great cast - Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, and Celia Imrie.

The Great British Bake Off (aka The Great British Baking Show in the US) is coming in the UK in September which means it will be on Netflix shortly thereafter.  Another very diverse cast of home bakers who will no doubt amaze (and at times dismay) us with their creations.

The Diplomat Season 3 premieres on Netflix on October 16.  I can't remember how Season 2 ended so I'll just have to go back and watch it again!

The fashionistas are back in Emily in Paris Season 5 (or should it be called Emily in Rome?), also on Netflix December 18.

And I saved the best for last - All Creatures Great and Small Season 6 takes us back to the beautiful Yorkshire Dales for more heartwarming human and animal tales but, this time, we find our beloved Skeldale gang in a somewhat different situation as we join them in 1945, just as the war in Europe is coming to a close. We arrive back in Darrowby to veterinary advancements, expanded families, and new faces as they all look ahead to a brighter and more peaceful future. This season will see Herriot’s wonderful characters navigating the opportunities that a new world brings, a host of animals great and small, and of course, each other.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
