I also saw this which was hilariously funny with brilliant performances from all the youngsters who starred in it and their singing was supreme too, mostly to the music of ELO (Electric Light Orchestra), so foot-tapping along was compulsory!
I'd like to see this too. Miss Winslet looks amazing in the trailer for the film and Judy Davies, the Australian actress, plays her Mother. Seems like this post is all about things to see so here's another one to add to the list. The book was a great read so I hope the film will live up to its reputation. Well, Julie Walters is in it so that's a start! Then, finally, Maggie Smith at her best. The film adaptation of Alan Bennett's play and it looks like it will be a hoot! Well, I'm hoping so, anyway.

I'm joining in with Jennifer's Winter Project Link Party (well, I hope I can if I haven't left it too late again this month!). My first Winter Project is done -
****
So most things which are next on the Winter Project list will mainly be for gift-giving, such as
a new hat for one of my daughters-in-law to replace the one I knitted for her last year, which she wore continuously all through the winter.
and a crocheted hat for my other daughter-in-law as part of her Xmas parcel. 
And to bridge the gap until the next 'big' project jumps into my lap, a warm and cosy cowl, all done in mindless garter stitch, which is very relaxing with all its to-ing and fro-ing. Minimum input, maximum results. That'll do for me!

It's very dreary weather here at the moment and it's blowing a 'hoolie' (Scottish for hurricane!)tonight and is set to last all week. How are you coping with the short days and dark nights in the Northern Hemisphere? I'm finding copious amounts of chocolate is helping a great deal!

See you all soon.

There's never a wrong time for chocolate ;-) Your blanket is beautiful as are the hats for your daughters-in-law. The colours for your Spice of Life are some of the nicest I've seen!
ReplyDeleteFunny you should pop up on my blog roll Anne as was just thinking about you this afternoon - your new makes are just beautiful as always. I love the wreath on your header. And I would just like to say ... even though its getting rather HOT over here ... & brown & crisp ... definately NOT short days & dark nights ... I too am dealing with it with copious amounts of chocolate (unfortunately - as my summer pants wont do up)!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI have seen a few Spice of Life blankets, it is amazing how many people participate! I like your colour choices. I am making a Attic24 Sunny blanket just now, when I am not working on my duffle coat. Love your big cosy cowl!
ReplyDeleteI am a fellow Scot, suffering the bad weather will ill temper. Still wet from my bike ride into work.
Your Spice of Life blanket is really lovely, I like the colours you've chosen. I'm not even half way yet with mine but I don't mind it being a long term project. I love a bit of garter stitch, so easy to sit and relax with and it makes a gorgeous cowl, you've chosen lovely colours for that too.
ReplyDeleteYou have me READY to see those films. Suffragette is only at the art theater which is too far away. SAD. I love that actress (from my fav Secret Garden).
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, thank you for joining in with my link party! I loved seeing all the different kinds of things you've been working on. Those hats are really nice; I just love the look of plain white or cream wool. I want to see Brooklyn too! I've been watching the British drama Indian Summers on TV these past few weeks and Julie Walters is in that, so they've been showing an ad for Brooklyn before each episode of the British show. I love her in it, she's quite an actress. I hope you're having a good week, take care.
ReplyDeleteSounds as though you are going to be very busy with all that great crafting and all those good films to see too! Hope you enjoy it all! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Anne, it's good to hear from you and see your lovely makes. I always think people are so lucky to receive handmade presents. Enjoy your week x
ReplyDeleteBrooklyn looks good - think I would enjoy that one... your crochet is beautiful - I love the colours - hope you find something another you can join or even start one!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing wrong with a bit of mindless garter stitch - we all need that sometimes. Your blanket looks just right for Autumn/winter. Jo

Well you certainly got me clicking away on your blog today. Glad to have the recommendations and love the idea of the musical, just from the synopsis.
ReplyDeleteAll is well here - am in a play this week - Family Planning by Frank Vickery. I play an 80 year old crotchety granny from Wales. It's a lot of fun but exhausting, even though she stays in bed throughout the whole play.
Will hopefully see you on the other side at the end of the week!
Your blanket looks great, I have seen so many. I am loving your cowl . I'm visiting you from the linky winter project over at thistlebear .Very nice to meet you
