Hello, What a lovely day. Bright and sunny but very windy. Been spoiling Smokey, our rabbit. Made her hutch really comfy. She is spoilt rotten, we're always treating her to tasty snacks (well, for rabbits)  and new toys to stop her from getting bored. Here she is with my daughter Laura who is totally gaga about Smokey.

I recently mentioned going to Chatsworth and watching the balloons go up. Doesn't this look great. Such an uplifting image.

One Day

Took Mum to see One Day at the cinema. Having read the book earlier this year I was looking forward to seeing this. I was not disappointed and feel my eyes start to well up a couple of times. Probably one for the girls but certainly worth a viewing.

Chatsworth country show

On Sunday I went to Chatsworth country show. What started out as a rainy day brightened to a lovely sunny afternoon. Lots to see from dog competitions and horse and cart races etc.. Sadly didn't see Red Arrows, which i love to see , but did see them earlier in the year at athe Waddington Air Show. Had a go at archery, would probably do that again. Had my palm read; interesting. I loved watching the hot air balloons go up at the end of the day.

Rise of Planet of Apes

Recently went to see movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes. Enjoyed the film and couldn't believe time passed so fast. Would definitely recommend it. Visuals really good and good performance by James Franco. As often happens though, my friend Karen and I got up to leave as the credits start to roll and then... more! So there you are stood at the side of the seats watching the short piece of footage that,surprise surprise!,leads you into the obvious beginning to a sequel. Still, not complaining, I would go to see a sequel.

Cinema weekend

Not been to cinema in ages so I made up for it this weekend. On Saturday went to see Insidious which was recommended to me on Friday when having my hair done. It was truly scary, not the hairdo! the movie. A bit along the lines of Paranormal Activity but much better.
Then yesterday's viewing was Hanna. Couldn't quite decide if it was good or not. It did keep me interested but expected more twists and turns in plot.
I missed Water for Elephants but had more or less decided to read the book first then maybe get the dvd out depending on how much I enjoy the book.

Been so long

Hello there, been off the radar for a while. Just busy with the usual stuff, you know how it is. But also just so lazy with free time. You know, procrastinating (I am VERY good at that), putting off stuff till last minute even if means doing the ironing instead!
Anyway, we now have the most adorable little grey rabbit, well- he or she (dont know which) needed a home and I kinda got attatched as did my daughter. In time I'll learn how to put pics on here on properly and then Smokey(original hey!) can be on here too. Previous attempts have not been good.
Oh yeah, nearly forgot, had a very pleasant weekend break with my sister at Clarice House in Bury St Edmunds. Lovely place , gorgeous food, enjoyed the spa facilities and as we got a deal, booked earlier in the year, it was very good value.
Anyway, must stop putting off jobs for today including; food shopping, work on diploma coursework and usual house stuff. Hang on, already popping into head is wondering whether to pop to Mum's. See already procrastinating. Is there any hope! Ha Ha
