Hallo all! Hope Friday 13th was uneventful (we still have 7 hours to go here).
Here's to a good new week for everyone.
Glad to hear that all is going well so far, OG, apart from the nosebleed - how inconvenient. I hoped that you would be "dancing in your heart, too" :-) The film "Life of Pi " was most unusual. Not sure whether to highly recommend it, as its rather Marmite and some may hate it. But we thought it was beautifully filmed and atmospheric. The actors were all excellent, including a short appearance by Rafe Spall, who is the son of famous actor Timothy Spall (we are huge fans of his). The young actor playing the lead is very good. We had it on a DVD which I had bought years ago, when the film first came out and was much praised. Then I saw it was on TV and was cursing myself as we could have recorded it then! I can only say watch it if you like to see the unusual, and there is a lot of Nature in it, with some rather clever CGI.
Here is a new member of our family- this is Boris, a 6 year old terrier cross, now adopted as her dog by my sis in law Sue!
Actually, he sort of adopted her, as he moved into her street with a neighbour who had brought two rescued dogs back from Cyprus a few months ago. Once he got to know Sue, he used to rush down to her house every time he got out of his own front door!!
So now they are a family together, as the lady who had him said she is quite happy that he is happy & she still has her other dog.
PatO: You had me there for a minute when I read your post. I thought Boris had resigned or something!
Lindybird: Fascinating about Boris. I wonder if he didn't think sharing an owner just wasn't on and was on the lookout for a likely candidate. He's a cutie and I'm sure will be a great companion for her I didn't see The Life of Pi; kept thinking about it.... Re Xmas presents, I took Ms. D's with me on my recent AZ trip (two books and $$$s for her Mom to take her shopping for clothes) and am sending granddaughter's back with daughter, who's arriving Sunday for doc's appointment next week. I was in the post office yesterday and they were telling customers that they should aim to get any presents in the mail next week to be sure of Xmas delivery.
OG: Gosh, not great timing for EE's nosebleed. Hope all went well with their trip. How nice that you got a good night's sleep and that your podiatrist is so generous with her skills. :-)
Lynette: So did the cake arrive?
Went to Costco this morning to buy new tires (big sale on Michelins) and made an appointment to have them installed early December. I had the technician show me the "wear line" that tells they need replacing (my mechanic told me to be sure and get new ones before the rain but they'd looked okay to me). Saw my yoga teacher in line and we commiserated re no lessons. Roll on a safe vaccine....
