Could we grow into an Emma Peel or a Lara or even a “Kill Bill”? I don’t know. The plots got less and less believable anyway - and the world was quite happy to rank the Bond actors. I guess “a straight white male” keeps it simple.

When we first saw Sean Connery in Dr No, did we have expectations because of Ian Fleming’s book - or did they eventuate with subsequent movies - and actors? I’d like to think a good writer has the freedom to surprise and please me with their replacement.

It was such a buzz seeing people in their 60s, 70s and even 80s graduating. Yay for lifelong education!

I was really into Chemistry at high school - home “lab” - parents installed a gas Bunsen burner for me. I bought my own beam balance and things like a glass barometer tube. Really enjoyed the experimentation. Then failed at University! 🤷🏻
Thirty five years later I finally got there - in Physics!

If you aren’t familiar with ChCh, there is Fendalton Mall which is effectively a strip mall and then Fendalton Village - also a strip mall but about a km away. The former isn’t owned by a company like Eastgate or Westfield but the entire Village is - and by Rock Kwan Ltd.
