A life ‘Down Under’!
Foiled!
We thought we might break with tradition and head out to the cinema again tonight to see 'Interstellar'....we are really keen to see it.We had tea and then Dulcie settled down in her chair to watch the rest of the news and then at 7.oopm the James Bond movie, The Living Daylights came on. She sat watching it.Normally she is in bed by 7.30 pm but she kept on watching.....7.30 pm passed.........she yawned loudly and Will got up and got all her tablets and bedtime medication ready on the table....she didn't move.8.00 pm passed......8.30 pm passed......I came downstairs to do something else...I've seen it before and was not keen on Timothy Dalton as 007.9.00 pm passed.....it was now way too late to go to the film. Will came down too leaving her alone with Timothy Dalton.9.15 pm we heard her get out of the chair and close the front door.....we both went up....she was finally going to bed......but no....she was closing the curtains and then she settled back into her chair!I came down again until the film finished at 9.45 pm then I went back up.She was sat at the table taking her medication."You liked that film then?" I asked."No, it was a heap of shit!" She said.Will and I were both thinking, 'Well, why did you sit there and watch it then?'....but said nothing.She went into her room to get changed for bed....and a few moments later we heard...."Holy Bloody Shit! It's ten to ten!"We're going to wake her up at 6.30 am.....Interstellar is on again tomorrow night!
'Oh, Happy Day!'
Hurrah!We drove to Morningside this afternoon....and there in Foodworks was Vimto!
"Are you the guys from the internet?" asked a chap.....it wasn't Andre.
"We are!"
"Tell all your British friends," he said.
I didn't like to tell him that I don't have any here in Australia.
"Are you the guys from Facebook?".....it was Andre...."I sent you the message as soon as it came in!"
"Thanks very much!" I beamed.
We also bought some lunch and drove down to Colmslie Recreation Reserve and ate it by the river.
Talk of the Devil.
Will was out at Choir last night.I saw Dulcie to bed. I got her a new blouse out of the wardrobe but must not have shut it properly."Just close that door," she said, "I don't want any cockroaches running about."I didn't either."I haven't seen any cockies recently," she went on."Me, either," I said.It was asking for trouble.I went downstairs and settled down on the sofa in the Man- Cave.I heard a strange rattling, whirring noise close by my head and turning, saw something whizz along the top of the sofa back.At first I thought it was the Huntsman spider.I leapt up and saw immediately that it was a big, brown, shiny cockroach!It was fast!.......but not fast enough.It made a mistake in showing itself to me.....a fatal mistake!
