Rosa's extra special weather report and 'filems' review
well exciting this will be for all 2 of you that read this, as the title reads; earth-shattering hold-your-breath stuff today...well it is a lazy sunday after all.
And I would be hill-walking today, but for the lovely summer weather that has introduced summer in Scotland: rain, rain, fog, fog and more fog (or har as they say here). Well, you do live next to the north sea MR G says, so serves me right I guess. But the fog makes a welcome change to continous rain for the last week in May. It's nice and humid too. Very strange. As one of my patients said to me on Friday 'well, scotland does only get 2 months of summer; june and july'. cheers. really lifted me up.
onto the movies (also called filems here in scotland, as they do in ireland). Being a recipient of the scheme; 'love film' where for a monthly fee instead of only bills dropping through the letterbox you also get DVD's regularly, considering that TV is a waste of resources and electricity lately, you get stuff that you really really want, including all those cool old black&white movies and great comedy series, like KATH & KIM!!!! This has fuelled both me and Mr G's obsession with Kath's wedding and Sharon's future netballing injuries. A great Australian comedy series with great aussie humour where only the aussies can point and laugh at themselves the best. We are considering having a Kath&Kim themed wedding, following on from Kath's preparation 'oh Kimmee I've got so much to do re: the wedding'. it's great.
Then just this week we watched 'Little Miss Sunshine' which I've wanted to watch for ages. My god what a brilliant film. Great casting, great acting, great characters and great plot. Just watch it, if you haven't already.
We also saw 'wah-wah', for all you Richard E Grant fans (myself a big one) on new years eve actually (before driving up to Stonehaven for hogmanay to watch the fireball ceremony, but that's another story and probably one already told). T'was a bit freaky to know as we watched wah-wah, Richards autobiography of his childhood in Swaziland, my bro and sister-in-law were in swaziland for new years. hah! anyway, i digress, Wah-wah is also bloody fantastic, well cast and acted etc etc. Just watch it no. 2.
Black&whites: the african queen (which ma will laugh at me for!) was fantastic, as was 'the big sleep'. Watched chinatown with a very young Jack Nicholson, brilliant and was ashamed i'd never heard of it before (the shame the shame).
and all the Peter Kay DVD's! priceless.
I've turned into one of those annoying people who just have their conversation as a mish-mash of different catch-phrases from comedy series/movies.
oh that's nice, it's different, it's unusual.
sorry. better go. It's children of men tonight :)
next time will be better i promise!
