Sunday fun

Oh what a day!


The restful Sunday that I so wished for was a happening thing, and joyful and relaxing indeed.

First there was a sun-speckled blanket, just as I imagined, with the Birdman lying at my side. We read, lay about, and so enjoyed the way that the winter sun warmed our bones and our souls alike. Tis such a different thing, the winter sun, the way that it really seeps inside your skin, like a warm liquid, and makes your insides feel right.

After that, we made a rash decision to go and watch a movie at the Arts Centre.  I say rash, because normally, movie theatres and me, they are certainly not the best match.  I pretty much baulk at anything coming out of Hollywood, have not picked a new release off the shelf since I was about 15, and am nearly always dissapointed by lack-lustre cinematic efforts. In fact, the last time I went to the movies was about 2 years ago, and I walked out about 30 minutes in in complete and utter disgust. 
So, to say I was optimistic would be a lie, but I had nowhere to be, and nothing to do, so why not fly with the Birdman, and see where we landed?

And, can I just say? Complete. Movie. Magic!
I laughed, as did everyone in the cinema, until I cried.  Understated, Fantastic, Comedic, Brilliant.
The movie?  The Trip. One thing I am certainly not? A movie critic (unless that means critical of almost all movies) but I will say this...Go see it! Do!

This Week I'm grateful for... a rest

Source





































I work two (well, almost three if you count the extra bits and bobs I dabble in) jobs, six days a week, every single week. Did I mention that I am also a full-time student? So, the one day I get off is consumed with study.

I love (almost all) of the work I do, and am thankful that I have the opportunity to be busy, and making money, and living a rewarding life, don't get me wrong, but sometimes (especially lately) I am busy! Real busy!

I work with kiddiewinks, in the hours outside the school day, and as it is the school holidays, there have been a mighty number of outside school hours of late.

As of Monday, the school holidays are done and dusted, and with it so shall be my 60 hour working weeks.

So, This Sunny Sunday (planning and hoping ahead) I shall be grateful indeed for a lovely woven blanket, in a little spot of dappled sun,  a man I love, and a not-a-care-in-the-world attitude.
