More Eddie Izzard

Ages ago I posted Eddie Izzard's Death Start Canteen - how - the lego version, which is even funnier...

Happy birthday girl!

... sorry it's a day late...

Dear Proud, normal mummy - happy birthday for yesterday.

I am proud of your mothering skills. You have every right to be a proud mummy! Kaydin is a joy, and you're doing so well.

I am proud - and extremely grateful! - for the relationship you have with my mum. Maybe the best relationship really is grandparent and grandchild. I'm so happy the three of you have made a home together.

I am proud of the way you carry yourself, no matter what life throws at you. I have yet to see you not cope with a situation and, somehow, I don't think I ever will. I hope you know, though, that we are there for you - you don't need to carry burdens on your own.

I am proud of the adult you have become.

I am proud to be your aunt.

I love you. Always and forever.

Betrayed

How little things can affect your childhood memories...
No raisin-box whistles anymore - and I've heard stories about Spaceman lollies...
Then, after years of waiting, my favourite book - ever - in the whole world! - has been turned into a movie. I know that can be bad - "never judge a book by its movie" [JW Egan]. But I wasn't expecting this bad...
So, here's my not-that-detailed review of The little white horse - and here's a review of the movie, The secret of Moonacre - and the website of the movie, including a trailor.
That's one movie I won't be going to see...
Just - yuck!

200+ and counting

So, I've rabbiting on - and you've been reading - for over 200 posts now... no wonder it's taking me more and more time to think of something to say!

Maybe I could talk about the weather...
And, how odd it has been lately. One day, freezing - next lovely. One night I'm in my 'in between weather' pjs, the next back to summer ones, and then winter the following night! What's with this?!?!? No wonder people are getting sick all around & about...

Work? Nah, too dangerous. Too many work colleagues read this...

I know... just figured it out... back soon...
