Lazy weekend poll ~ fall viewing list, episode 1
Some of us are still stuck at home, and some of us are freer to move about, but with fewer places to go. Either way, if you’re watching more tv during the Covid-19 pandemic, you’re not alone! So as with the reading poll, we’re adding extra viewing polls — if you’re going to watch, it might as well be something good. (And we’ll cover audio entertainment, like podcasts, in an upcoming poll.) So do tell us…
…what fragrance you’re wearing today?
…any great tv shows or movies you’ve discovered recently, and/or
…anything else fun you’ve been streaming to stay occupied (exercise videos? anything),
Or, as always, just talk about something else…
