3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
I haven't seen Titanic for years and it was a quick three and a half hours, spent last night watching it. Alisons homework, for drama school this weekend, is to learn lines from a scene in Titanic and so we thought it a good idea to watch it. She hadn't seen it.
I have caught snippets of it, over the years but I think that I may only have seen it once, since I first saw it in the movies in 1998. The film said that it was released in 1997 but I am pretty sure that I went to see it at the beginning of 1998. Mm? Jennifer Denham senior or Bill may be able to correct me on this but I am sure that Jen was expecting Holly, at the time of her viewing it. I remember because I think that she found the length of it a bit challenging. I also remember the theme tune making me think of the young widow that was left by a friend of ours, when he died that year. His funeral was on the day that my niece was born. Or perhaps it was the Con Air theme......was that movie the same year?
Anyway, doesn't really matter except that I do like when events help you to remember dates of things. I otherwise would never have believed that Titanic was made seventeen years ago. It's older than Ali.
My day had been spent indoors until Jen and I went to collect the Pizza. The lady there now knows what our order is and that is both very cool and frightening in equal measures. Well, maybe the coolness wins. I love, in the movies, when someone is asked if they want 'their usual' and now we have 'a usual'
Our triple bagging really does work a treat. A twelve minute walk in sub zero temps plus five minutes to get organised at home and it was still piping hot. Jen treated us last night and I must say that the Pizza was even better than usual. Was that because it was 'free'? Jen wasn't feeling great all day so we didn't go for a walk in the sunshine. I could have gone myself but decided to plod away with my book instead.
My washing machine got fixed yesterday which was an unexpected event because he wasn't supposed to come back till Monday. My Angel card had said to accept any help that was offered but I was not expecting it to manifest like that-lol. It was the motor that had packed in and, now that there is a new one, I realise that the old one must have been on its way out when we moved in. It used to take at least five minutes for anything to happen but now it kicks into action instantaneously. My landlady is glad she had a warranty and it's great for her that the new motor was covered by it and will hopefully last for years. As I type, I hear the beautiful sound of the washer downstairs, doing a huge load of dark laundry-yippee. I did the towels last night and I will get the bed-linen done this afternoon. Oh, Bliss. Clean knickers and towels at last. Simple things, eh? I never did go to a laundrette.
How the heck did they cope with washing bulky items before washers appeared? Well, I know how they coped but HOW DID THEY COPE?
I did a fair bit of editing yesterday and also a lot of knitting. I have decide that stocking stitch looks very boring and I plan to knit up another ball and then switch to crocheting around the knitted square. I promise to post a picture when it is done. I told Jen that I have no clue what it will look like but that it is being made with love.
Ali has loads of work for school just now but she's plodding her way through it without getting too overwhelmed. Her grades are great and I am very proud of her.
I feel great this morning, which is a lovely change from the mornings earlier in the week
My meditation this morning was fantastic and whilst I know that I really ought not to grade it, I can't help it. It was insightful, peaceful and emotional and has me seeing more clearly than I have for ages. So, with that 'clearly' in mind, I have decided to give up wearing my specs, as much as possible which will lead to wearing them not at all.
I have typed this without them on and hope that I have hit the correct keys most of the time. Apologies, in advance if it's gobbledy-gook......some days it's been like that even with my specs on, though-lol.
Much love to all and hope this weekend is going great for you,
Lxxx
