Easter Monday

Although the last few days have been on the quiet side I did have quite a few days of last week when my feet were hardly on the ground. Last wednesday I met up with Robert, Stuart and Denise and spent time eating and drinking and generally enjoying spending time together. I then went to Robs for the night, as my lesson was due thursday morning at the Apple store, where, as Tom was not available, another really nice man named Ashleigh took the lesson with me. He took me through how to link my mobile phone to the computer and address book, which Stu and Rob had already tried to show me but as I have said before I forget almost as soon as I've been shown.

Robert had arranged for us to go to the MAC in Cannon Hill Park on wednesday to see "There will be Blood". He had seen it in Hongkong and had raved about it. It certainly was worth the viewing as Daniel Day-Lewis's acting was so powerful that without a doubt the Oscar was given to the right person. He completely dominated the screen. I was so glad that I had the opportunity to see the film.   Thursday afternoon, again Rob and I went to the cinema, to see "No Country for Old Men"  again this was another great piece of cinema with the starring role going to Javier Bardem who won the Oscar for best supporting actor and the film winning best film. Two fabulous films that I honestly would not have bothered to go and see myself if Robert had not said how much he had enjoyed them when he had first seen them while in Hongkong. 

Friday we met up with Charlotte and Lucy for lunch and then guess what ? we all went off to the cinema again, this time for Lucy's benefit to see "Horton hears a who" a Doctor Seuss story about an elephant and a tiny town of tiny people on a spot on a clover. Strange, but most enjoyable, well Lucy and I did, I think Rob and Char dozed off a couple of times. I eventually returned home on saturday in time to do some shopping for sunday  and get my washing done. Stu came yesterday for lunch and it was nice just spending time and watching " The Wizard of Oz" on tv.  Today has been very quiet, I haven't done much, as usual on most bank holidays the weather has done almost everything from rain, sunshine, hailing and snowing, so apart, from cooking my lunch, I have watched tv and a dvd that Stu said I must see called "Hard Candy". A very good but unpleasant film. I am now going to have a nice bath and then off to bed. I'm so worn out doing nothing.
