Filled the car up with petrol and bought myself a couple of new puzzle books, then headed to Chartwell shopping mall.
Quite accidentally, I met my brother and wife there and it was nice to chat with them for awhile.
Midday found me sitting in the picture theatre with a whole lot of other old women - I felt quite at home!
We had all come to watch the movie Little Women. I remember reading the book when I was about 12 years old, so long ago that I had forgotten much of the story.
I loved seeing all the costumes (although I don't think I would want to dress like that today!) and it is a good story with a happy ending - even though I did have to brush away a few tears a couple of times.

After the movie I drove to Hamilton Lake and went for a short walk. The place was crowded with children on holiday, all wanting to play in the playground. Lots of noise!
From there it was a short drive to the supermarket and then back home again.

Now the evening is beginning to draw in. The sun is shining, the sky is a little cloudy, and the wind has dropped to a comfortable level. Must be time to go and prepare some dinner.

I too went to see Little Women yesterday and cried. How I do love Jo - even if the director took liberties with the story.
ReplyDeleteI was just looking at the trailer then saw that you had done a post on it. Was looking for a film to go to on Tuesday 21st when we are having a power cut.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a good day out. Hope you enjoy your dinner equally.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a perfect day to me! Sleep well!
ReplyDeleteI have seen Little women as a TV-series and I enjoyed the story very much. I liked it so much that I have seen it twice! Maybe I should see the movie too!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a lovely day. I hope to see Little Women soon. I've heard many good things about the movie.
ReplyDeleteDo you like to do crossword puzzles? My DH used to do those a lot in the days before we had computers. My father, on the other hand, used to do 'word finds'.
ReplyDeleteCrosswords were my mum's favourite puzzle, and my husband liked word-finds. I prefer mostly code-crackers, sudoku, and suguru. I do puzzles when I wake up at night to stop my brain going round and round in circles.
DeleteI think I would call this a good day...if I had had it. And mine was not bad either. My supper is over and dishes are done...always a plus.
