Hello all.

I've been ill for the past few weeks - they don't think it's the virus and last Thursday they finished the tests on me and said they'd know in 2 weeks time, Will keep you posted.

Yes, I don't agree with looting, burning or violence - being an admirer of the Gandhi school of protest - but black people, as in the UK and other countries, deserve equal rights and non-discrimination. We had a similar situation in the UK some years ago.

Shocking to see what's happening in the US since the death of George Floyd - extensively covered over here. https://pbs.twimg.com/semantic_core_img/1266886326952972288/8tCks-FO?format=jpg&name=small We also had thousands protesting 'in sympathy' in London and Manchester at the weekend. https://pbs.t...

Hi, docwheels! I came across this page from a 1954 ad: DORIS DAY INC. WHOLESALE FUR CATALOG 1954 "AMERICA'S MOST HONORED NAME IN FURS" https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/doris-day-inc-wholesale-fur-catalog-1724249268 https://i.etsystatic.com/10379108/r/il/8cd655/1876209338/il_794xN.1876209338_e4...

Thanks Mary Anne. It's a big pleasure to keep Doris' memory alive. I think it does us all good during these strange and awful times. How are things in Indiana? And with you?

I think you're right, Johnny! She looks as fresh as a daisy there, doesn't she?

Lovely to read all your posts - thank you. Here's another Sunny Day from the 1950s: https://www.dorisday.net/forum/styles/doris-fifties.gif I started a clean up of old posts the other day, starting with FILM & AUDIO CLIPS, VIDEOS and removing those with photos and videos that are no longer available...

Thanks Debbie - so long since I've seen this! (Found while tidying up old posts.)

Remembering Doris a year on.

Thanks. :) I was going to say that looks like a budgie to me. (One of my relatives had one as I was growing up and it used to say simple phrases it was taught, but I felt sorry for it being in a cage.) I looked it up and they come from the same family of parrots with 'parakeets' being more common in...

Thank you all. Here's another sweet one of Doris.

Nice to read your posts. :) I came on to change the banner - often it takes a while to show up. Also I noticed it said Forum Banners 2019, four months into 2020 - I was sure it said Forum Banners 2020! Anyway, this is the new banner, a sweet photo of Doris & Terry on the backlot of filming Calamity ...

I'm fine, Michael, thanks for thinking about me. Just feeling a bit low in energy. I think this about my sixth week of 'not going out' and days and hours seem to run into one another so life takes on a dream-like quality. I check the forum every day - looks like I'm not the only one falling asleep! ...

Thanks, Ania, Robert, Jas, Peter, Johnny, and Michael! Hope you are all doing well. :) Here's a new one: Young At Heart https://www.dorisday.net/forum/styles/doris-day-young@heart.gif Caption; Doris Day filming the 1954 dramatic musical Young At Heart at the beach in 1954. You can see Elisabeth Fras...

Thanks, Puck, great artwork as usual. How are things in your part of the world?

And thanks, Johnny, same question to you.

Thanks, Jas, and Happy Easter from Doris, the Easter Bunny, Puck and me! https://www.dorisday.net/forum/styles/Happy-Easter2.gif The original: https://www.dorisday.net/forum/styles/Happy-Easter-Puck.gif Is everyone coping okay? I haven't been outside for weeks now - mostly I'm coping well but other ...

Nice to see you all chatting away. I just wanted to say Happy Easter and a thank you to Peter for the Easter Bunny pic:

Thank you all and I hope you've all had a Happy Doris Day Birthday! It would have been better if she was still here - but she is in, our hearts. 3 April is kind of fixed in my mind, as I'm sure it is in yours. I had this message from a friend at lunchtime, "I took a look at Twitter just now and it's...

Glad you're all enjoying Michael's video. Just a reminder that Doris would have been 98 years young today!
