Night Shift

love the pi @TAB

Hey @PeppiPatty I saw that Washington DC violinist youtube ages ago. You might have mentioned a writer on another thread ... Diana W Jones ..

havent read her but I did love the Japanese animated movie of "Howl's Moving Castle"

Havent seen or read the "Hunger Games" maybe one day.

Sometimes a sad movie brings me down and retraumatises me BUT sometimes it actually normalises my feelings and experiences ...helps cathart and situate similar events in a broader social perspective ... and I actually felt better after seeing them.

Eg I watched a few "Oranges and Sunshine" "The Leaving of Liverpool" "Magdalene Sisters"

"The Crime of Father Amaro" "The Boys of St Vincent"

but you have to be ready for it ... just saying. Then for 6 months I started watching "Friends" to bring me back to the our times and laughed hysterically at inane jokes and my son was totally disgusted ...

thx

I know @Appleblossom

Hello my clever friend, wanna cuppa tea?

I'm making.....

Clever memories........

Howls moving castle was the first Diana Wynne Jones book I read.....

yesm it's slightly embarrassing on our need to watch Friends and Sienseld occassionally. Mine is Mash as well.....I'm so ashamed of my need to watch FRazier and Ted Danson sitsoms.............

Stuff Hunger Games @Appleblossom but I so admit I watched the forst one and it's Awesome !!

Whats Orange and Sunshine? Me and hubby was introduced to Mother of Anarchy or something and we are addicted. In about a month, we should be able to purchase the 6 th one so that will be exciting.

We love love love the dvd of Deadwood @Appleblossom I strongly advise you to check it out.....

Better get to work (groan) only 1.5 housrs of work but these little bits of work mean I can see my PSychotherapist.........

Hi @Former-Member

After that beautiful day we had yesterday the weather has turned nasty and my back is really bad and so I did not go out for coffee with my daughter or to get a new computer either

I blame the weather for the flare up with my spine - abrupt changes in the barometric pressure can cause this to happen

But otherwise I am fine - my computer is behaving itself today - unlike yesterday when I could not do very much easily at all - and sitting here with my heat pack behind me isn't bad - things could be a lot worse

Well - my daughter and I have noticed enough signs that we are in for an early spring - this is a good thing - it has been a pretty horrible winter so far - the best thing it could do for all of us it to be over soon

I hope you are well today - and you have a good week - or rather the best you can

Hi @Former-Member

I hope you had a restful night - and a better week than last week

We often wish life could be that little bit better I think - and I hope that things are even just that little bit better this week at least

Decadian

You are right @Former-Member - My sister's Keeper is not the best movie to watch at times - it is a movie with layers and asks more questions than it answers - and there are families who have to live with this

The Hunger Games is not what it seems on the outside - but in spite of the satire I am not in a hurry to watch it again - though I will watch the last movie when it comes out. There is something and horrible in human nature that is revealed here - and comes from the ancient Roman Gladitorial Games - and shows how people can be sucked into this kind of thing - I am glad I am one of those people who can watch a movie once and say - "never again" to it

Hi @Decadian

Sorry to hear you had troubles with your back again today- I hope it eases for you. And I have heard the weather plays havoc with spinal conditions.

You are rights things could be worse for us, but we are fairly lucky that we have reasonable quality of life and access to good health care. Plus there are plenty of people worse off then us.

What type of computer are you looking at buying @Decadian ? The laptop I have atm is probably the best computer I have had so far and fingers crossed I can get a few more years out of it.

I think we might be in for an earlier spring too, it was another nice day here- I think it was 22 degrees but it felt much warmer. I think the signs are here too for a much earlier spring but here in Queensland it seems to happen by the end of this month- I wonder if we will have warmer days in the next two weeks and it starts to heat up by Mid August- we can only hope.

I am actually feeling a bit better each day and I hope tomorrow is another good day for me. I have specialist appointment tomorrow and some testing and I hope it goes well for me.
