Cape Town Trip

Back in August my very good friend Anne-Marie called me from Cape Town to let me know she would be flying me out for a Birthday treat. Never one to pass up on a free trip I jumped at the chance.
The Country was lovely and I had a brilliant time there, so much so that I am planning a return trip, this time with Jeremy at the beginning of 2010.
Take a look ot these pics taken with Anne-Marie's Sony Cyber Shot camera (Father Christmas...you know I want one now!)

My Lovely Hostess

The Cape of Good Hope

Various Other Pics

And now the highlight for me!

Let it snow, let it snow

My word is it Christmas again already? No.......it is Easter, and you know that poor bunny is pissed right. This is the time for new life, daffodils and spring chickens. the grass is greener and new life is cracking through the soil. No, this is Easter. THIS!!!

Of course I am excited and the first thing I did was hop out of bed, but on my clothes and grab Murphy. The cat has never seen snow and of course she was transfixed by it.

Today we are going to Dean and Lee's for a lovely roast and Easter fun. I will update with pics once I have them...trying to photograph snow this afternoon was impossible.

Movies Movies Movies!!!

Well you all know how much Jeremy and I love to watch movies!

We watch them and watch them till we all have square eyes.

You also know how opinionated we are about movies, and freely share our thoughts, sometimes to the point of argument. Since it is awards season in Hollywood I thought I would share with you some of the badly written reviews I write on my blog. Luckily I have avoided completely crap films this year.

Click on the title to read the review.

Ratatouille
Atonement
Once
Zodiac
Michael Clayton
The Namesake
The Savages
Eastern Promises
Jindabyne
Away From Her
American Gangster
Elizabeth: The Golden Age
Charlie Wilson's War
La Vie En Rose
Gone, Baby Gone

Most of these films are vying for OSCAR attention. Still have to write up reviews for "No Country for Old Men", "Juno" and a few others.
