SOB!

My favourites, Austin Healy and his professional partner, Erin Boag, were eliminated last night from "Strictly Come Dancing". Soooooob!!!

I am now cheering on Tom Chambers and his professional partner, Camilla Dallerup (see below)

Movies! Movies! Movies!

I had a lovely relaxing weekend (after doing some household chores) watching some DVDs that I have been meaning to get around to watching. The first (and best) was "Mamma Mia" with Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan. I really, REALLY enjoyed it and so glad that Mum owns it on DVD so I can borrow it and watch it again! (Incidentially I now TOTALLY understand why so many people have been flocking to Greece after watching it. BEAUTIFUL!)



The second was "Palo Pinto Gold" with Trent Willmon (the whole reason I bought the DVD). It was ... ok. I thought Trent was good in it but the script and cinematography was, honestly, quite horrible. It was a low budget and amateurish attempt which is a shame. It could have been fabulous or at the least, better.



The third was Toby Keith's "Beer for my Horses". I don't know what it is but I just really like Toby Keith. I definitely prefer "Broken Bridges" to this endeavour and I prefer the storyline in the "Beer for my Horses" music video to the storyline in the movie but hey ho, what am I gonna do? :-) I might watch it again and see if my opinion improves....

Odd Thomas

What a great book. I've only read 279 pages of 420 but boy I'm really enjoying it. The funny thing is my very VERY first impression was that the story was, well "odd" but within the first fourteen pages, my interest was piqued and I kept reading .... and I am so glad I have. It's been a great and gripping story.

Four Christmases

I had yesterday off and went to see "Four Christmases" (because Tim McGraw was in it) and it was ooooooooooooooooooooooookay. I did laugh out loud at some parts but overall it was pretty cringe-worthy and I couldn't help but think it could have been so much better. Still I got to see Tim on the big screen.

Cute Video - Cat stuck in a Box!

This is so cute! I LOVE the cat's back legs. Makes me smile every time he/she skids across the floor into the box....

First Snow!

This weekend saw the first snow of winter ~ and it fell all Friday night and during Saturday. Fantastic! A real "winter wonderland" feeling! I loved it and immediately started playing Christmas Carols.

The sky full of snow...

(and yes that IS snow on his head).

Still snowing that night!
