Just Catching Up

[debris4spike]

Work went well over the last couple of days, although yesterday it was very, very cold - ended up almost putting my coat on, but was a good girl and didn't. Still the shifts went well ... and mostly some very nice, very sane people. However there were certainly a few odd questions around that I had to keep smiling while I tried to appear relaxed!

I also started a project that I have been meaning to do for ages. kazzy_cee reminded me when I made a comment earlier in the week about my worry about losing Mum & Dad's wedding photos (etc) if there was a fire, like those in LA. So, here we go - 22/03/1952 -







I also made a few icons. These 4 are for a competition with a theme of "More Than 1 Film" and there are 2 icons from each of 2 films. Lethal Weapon 2, and the second Downton Abbey Film -

. . .

I am also working on a few for some of the other communities I icon for.

Now I have today off - well I have cleaning to do, and ironing (I did washing earlier in the week). I need to go and get some groceries, as well. So a bits & pieces day!

I want to catch up on comments, as well, but before that -




16. How often do you eat out at restaurants or cafés?
Very, very rarely

17. In Somerset (England), it is traditional on this day to enter the orchards and toast the trees with cider to encourage a fruitful season. Have you ever had alcoholic Somerset cider or Scrumpy?
I do like traditional cider ... but not a fan of the new "ciders" made from fruit other than apples.

18. Cary Grant was born today in 1904 (in Bristol England). Have you a favourite Cary Grant film?
That's a very hard question as I love a lot of his films ... Some of my favourites are -
The Amazing Quest of Ernest Bliss
Bringing Up Baby
Holiday
His Girl Friday
Mr Lucky
Arsenic and Old Lace
The Bishop's Wife
People Will Talk
To Cath A Thief
Operation Petticoat
The Grass Is Greener
Charade
See - that's just my favourites ... there are a few I haven't listed that I also love, but these are among the watch & watch again films.




Right, let me get on x

The only things I would take in a fire now are...well my purse is near me and my cell, the cats, and my parents' urns and two fireproof boxes with legal paperwork in it.

I have always said that providing "people", whether 2 or 4 legged (!) are safe, then the rest doesn't matter.

But, given the chance there are things that could never be replaced, like my Grandfather's medals, or Mum & Dad's wedding photos ... but in the end, they are not essential

I would definitely be sad about those losses. In fact since a lot of my old photos were taken in Japan more than a hundred years ago I was going to donate them to the Japanese American Museum in Los Angeles.

Good list of Cary Grant films!

[debris4spike]

I do love his films

Those photographs are truly treasures.

I didn't know there were ciders made with other fruits!

"Arsenic and Old Lace" is such a delight.

Arsenic & Old Lace is just such a brilliant film, isn't it?
