Review, Repair and Reflection.........

 
Saturday matinee was this....

A 2020 adaptation of Roald Dahl's book, this time set in 1960s Alabama, which maybe wanted to highlight American race relations of that time but actually didn't. We enjoyed it as a cold afternoon's light entertainment. The CGI created some very clever special effects and one or two little snippets were almost horrible enough to have disturbed me had I been me as a child.

There's some floorboard repairs happening

So lucky having a Hubby that can do so much, and he's definitely happier when he's doing. 

Dominating the media this week, both public and social, is of course Oprah's interview with Harry and Meghan. I'm not going to add to the debate but a couple of quotes made me smile - Someone called them marmite celebrities. I've also seen them referred to as "Ginge and Whinge". 😂

But sadly it also reminded me of the struggle to bring mixed cultures together as it was for Hubby and me and other family members, which brought confusion, pain, harsh words and long silences. So maybe working monarchy aside they are just a struggling family. 

Front door and side panel finally got finished after covid interrupted their factory production, we weren't in any rush. Really nice fitter who sorted all the problems and made sure everything was perfect before he left. Funny how this has taken three visits and each time they've had to work in heavy rain! 

Another matinee on a wild windy Friday. 

This was the 2021 sequel to the original 1988 film (wow didn't think it was that long ago!)  Eddie Murphy humour and his multi-characters were fun as expected although sometimes totally over the top, however, over the top lavish sets and costumes were appreciated. 

This morning we were both up really early and the sun is really bright, although I'm sure it's still chilly, so hoping to have some out in the garden time and add to my vitamin D. 

Till next week, stay safe.
