This week I have cause to celebrate -
1: I organised the first Cinema Club for those of us who often don't go to the movies - the Silver Screen is only £3 and you get a cup of branded coffee and biscuits included so what could be better? I know it is advertised for those over 55 but no-one stopped me (I probably look haggard enough at the moment!!) The film was The Girl on the Train and it was so much better than any of us thought it would be so a great start to this new venture. Twelve of us went and for some it was their first trip to the cinema for years - it's just nice to go with someone else so you can discuss the film afterwards - so we'll definitely be going again!!
2: I attended another sports' award evening - this time to take part in a Q&A session up on stage on women going into coaching in sport. Yet again something I never thought I'd be part of if you'd asked me this time last year!
3: Some lovely weather I feel blessed to have been out and about in - I know it's been snowing a bit over the past few days but nothing too bad and they say this week the weather will get warmer again. My pot of mini narcissi (which were only buds last Saturday) all came out during the week and are now brightening up the downstairs loo.
Here's to everyone - let me know how the week has treated you and what has made you stop and smile - you know I'd love to know :)
Wishing you well for today :)
ReplyDeleteI've been down with another bad cold so haven't been out much but there were two bonuses in it - a day in bed and a catch-up on reading - wasn't fit for much else. I think the body was saying - why do you only rest when you're sick!!!
And from the inside looking out - the joy of watching the birds feeding on the seeds and nuts we've left out for them. Have a great week.
Sorry to hear you've been poorly and I have certainly known that feeling about only resting when you're sick - but I also know how difficult it is when there is so much to be done! Watching birds on a bird feeder is always entertaining :)
DeleteI would enjoy your cinema club. I love the movies and especially on the big screen. I thought Girl on the Train was well done also. Based on a tricky book
ReplyDeleteWe had super weather on Sat and enjoyed a hike. It was good to get out and stretch the legs
Fingers crossed for good exam results!!
Of course - you also work as a film critic so you must have to be a regular at the cinema. There is certainly something to be said for watching a film on the big screen in the dark rather than curled up on the sofa at home - our next film will be the space film - Passengers. Good to hear you got out on a hike and enjoyed the good weather :)
DeleteWaiting for good exam results!! Happy Valentine's Day my friend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Paula :)
DeleteYour new Cinema Club sounds like a lot of fun! Clever you for thinking it up 'coz I know so many of us haven't been to cinemas in years. Impressive about your talk on coaching. Your exam is finished by now and I'll bet it went great! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteSo glad exam is over - now just need to wait for results and hope for the best!!
