turpsIt was snowing this morning and actually stuck for a while. It's also turned much colder and with the clocks going back tonight, winter really is inching closer. However, it's sunny right now and I've been watching the birds feed. I refilled all the fat ball holders, and the seed holders, and the nut holders. The stupid feathery things cost us a fortune but are worth it.
James is back at work today. Unfortunate timing as he'll be going off again in a fortnight for his back procedure and it would have been better to have one continuous period of sick. But it's not like he could control being shunted. He's looking forward to having the procedure done as he's suffering a load with back pain, no doubt made worse by being thrown forward like he was. He's getting physio via the insurance, he went to his first session last week and will go again on Tuesday, right after my shoulder class. So we'll both be good for nothing Tuesday afternoon.
We went to see Bohemian Rhapsody and it was amazing! I know it's not really getting good reviews in the press, and some comments I understand, but everyone I've talked to has really enjoyed the film, and the music is fabulous. I could happily watch the last twenty minutes over and over again. And in fact, we've already seen it twice since it was released on Wednesday. Both times I've come out wanting a Brian May of my own, the guy is just so good and steady.
On Thursday we went to see Miss Saigon at the theatre. We went to Hadrian's Tipi first. It's this huge tipi that's surrounded by street food carts and has trestle tables surrounded by heaters and open fires. It was smoky and hot and I had a disappointing chicken wrap, but the atmosphere was perfect, and will be even more so when decorated for Christmas. The show itself was... well, I'll just say, wow. We went in knowing nothing about the show, so were surprised when the attendant told us there was no spoken dialogue, just songs. And in fact during the first scene I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but it just got better and better, and the ending. Man. I could see it coming, but even so. Again we had good seats, and doubt we'll ever try for dress circle again, the stalls are where it's at.
It was the anniversary of dad's death yesterday. It's hard to believe it's been three years already.

We are having fun at the movies and theatre. No shows until Feb now at the theatre now, though. Well, up until now.
