Hey, all -- while I was searching for movies/TV shows in the same vein as the Donald Strachey Mysteries (didn't find any), I came across a TV series (London Spy) that was on a streaming service I've never heard of before, called Xumo Play. And guess what I found while I was browsing?

Broadchurch! Back when I watched it a year or so ago, I could only see the first season (without paying for Britbox). Now this site has all three! I'm very happy to have stumbled across it. Can't wait to watch the rest of it.

Broadchurch | Xumo Play

London Spy was okay, I guess. I've only seen the first episode so far. Now I'm much more excited about Broadchurch.

Has anyone ever heard of Xumo?

Hello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.

This Week's Question: What is your favourite thing to make?

If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

Just over 10.5K words this month, which is still a good number for me, and brings my annual total so far to 25.5K, allowing breathing space later in the year since my goal for this year is 100K.

For

allbingo Valentine's month I wrote A Fortunate Meeting starring Miss Marple, who denies being responsible but was certainly involved.

small_fandoms had their annual drabblethon and this year I wrote a series (29 drabbles because I needed to include everybody) A Year at the Midnight Bell

ushobwri had their annual WiP month, and I finally finished The Last Chapter which is Spooks (MI5) with Lucas faced with more family news. Although as I was writing it, I had an idea for a follow up, so A Family Saga looks like it may still continue. I also used this for my entry to this year's

crackthewip

And, although written last month, my

candyheartsex exchange was posted To Brighten Your Life Discworld Sam Vimes/Sybil Ramkin.

This is why I watch this show.

Intense gazes, constant laughter, always in each other's personal space... When I say they don't have to be physically affectionate, I mean they don't have to. That's just icing on the cake.

Watch on YouTube

And this? I don't even know what to say.
