Frozen

and No, I am not talking about the weather in Tassie at the moment but I could be.

The weather is appalling here, raining, cold, windy  - real winter stuff.  However we have just been to the cinema to watch the animated movie, "Frozen" and it was fantastic and funny. 

It is the story of true love based on the Hans Christian Anderson fable of the Ice Queen.  The pivot of the tale though is not true love between a princess and a prince but between two sisters. I went to see it with my two daughters and my SIL. 

Yes we are all adults but the movie was so worth it, we laughed an awful lot through it as well a few tugs on the heart strings. 

I wont spoil it for you, but I really so recommend you go see it.  This rainy, cold afternoon was the perfect opportunity for a nice relaxing few hours in a darkened room with comfy chairs, a big screen plus a box of popcorn :) 

At one particular moment when all the main characters were standing around looking forlorn and worried, one little person on the other side of the cinema wanted to know, "What's Sven doing?"  Sven is the reindeer!! LOL

As always there is the fall guy who gets all the funny lines - think the butler Niles is The Nanny, he got all the best gag lines and most of them were MA rated. In this movie it is Olaf the snow man who has all the insight as well as all the punch lines and cute awww moments. 

The other stand out supporting role is the aforementioned Sven the reindeer, he's the good back up guy!

So while you wait for Philomena or The Railway Man, go see Frozen - I can pretty much guarantee you will love it. 

YAY SUCCESS!!!!

OH MY GOODNESS!! 'scuse the capitals but I am so happy  - I finally got the computer to accept my loading page for new blog posts. Wanna know how I did it. I loaded a new browser - Chrome. Thank you Mr Computer, even though half an hour ago I hated you with a vengeance and was going  to throw you out and get a new one. I am so pleased that you decided to play my game and not yours anymore!
 I forgive you, but you are on notice, one more stunt like that of the previous week and I will seriously re-think my new found admiration. 

Now what did I really wanted to talk about - of course being a cold, wet Saturday when all I really wanted to do was catch up on my lost hours of sleep - was to sleep in - Dizzy decided that 5.40 was a good time to go out for a wee this morning. Bad Dog Dizzy, seriously??  When your Father gets back, well he will be getting up to let you out, not me. Be warned Chris you are taking over the early morning calls when you come home. I do Love you Dizz, but we gotta talk about this and we will later. 

I must admit that my back has been giving me such jip, that I don't think I could have stayed in bed much longer anyway.  Will have to get a nap in this afternoon - ha ha ha , I crack myself up!! that's not going to happen either - more chance of Ryan Gosling dropping by to help me fold my fabric :)

Gratuitous inclusion of said Mr Gosling, just cos I know how:

Close enough for me Mr Gosling ~ LOL

It is a wet cold weekend and while I am thrilled about that for two reasons, one reason I am not of course involves Jonathan's washing, small detail.
The reasons for being thankful for the current weather situation,  not in any particular order:

•  I can stay inside all day and play in the play room
• the garden really needs the water
• saves me out there for ages watering the pots and the new vegies
• need for comfort clothing, warm woolly hand knitted cardigan prime example of this
• plan on something warming for lunch
• good weather for movie watching with Kerry later today
• I can listen to the last CD of my audio book in peace without the nagging thought that I should be washing floors - you can't wash floors in bad weather, the dog just makes it dirty again as soon as he goes out for one of his numerous pees.

So now I am feeling so much more positive, thanks to working useful computer, I will have a lovely cup of tea and head off to the playroom.
