Family Forum / Parenting / Mothers / May 2007counting coup!
I am so doing a happy dance. Today there are a number of tag sales [aka garage sales for you southern US folks, yard sales for some others....] in town. So, off I went, without the disinterested family members. I took $20 with me, came home with $10 as well as two decent humidifiers that work [one with new filter] for $2/each, two reversible window fans for $3, Dr. Doolittle paperback for 50 cents, and a thing to hold pot lid neatly for $2 as well as a 5x7 wooden picture frame with glass and mat for fifty cents. We so need the humidifiers. I am hoping that they will humidify the whole first floor in the winter as we find this house gets *very* dry during heating season. The fans will be a big help, too. So, I feel good! Now, back to weeding multiple flower beds and other yard chores.... How is your day going? -Aula > I am so doing a happy dance.

Katherine has riding later then we are going out for lunch. Tomorrow we are going up to London to see the Star Wars exhibition. (think it will be very very crowded, its a Bank Holiday and due to pour with rain) Sarah > Yay - well done on your finds :) > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > it will be very very crowded, its a Bank Holiday and due to pour with > rain) That sounds fun, despite the rain. You'll have to tell us all about the trip, as well as K's riding, when you get the time. Aula <snip> "Aula" >I am so doing a happy dance.

Roast dinner Friday, no soccer Saturday so a bit of an easier day, barbq Saturday evening (last one til spring) and the new Pink Panther, the family went to see Pirates of the Caribbean Lands End, quite enjoyable. Lovely weekend for DH. I hope the planting went well. Night all Marc > Good DHs b'day on Friday.

I'm also wondering about Pirates...I was somewhat disappointed in the second one. It seemed less spontaneous and more contrived, or something less enjoyable than the first one. How do you see number 3 comparing to two and one? -Aula <snip> "Aula" > "Marc" >> Good DHs b'day on Friday.

I didn't manage to make it right through number 2, tg it was a hire. I wasn't looking forward to 3 because the reviews have been bad. It was ok - especially for the kiddos. I would probably hire it rather, because it is a bit long, although it would be difficult to see the ship fighting on a small screen. I also thought the opening scene was very ugh, and not really pertinent to anything else - or not really tied in with the rest. One or two other scenes put in to make some points unmissable, but then other points just whisked by. Worth it just to see Keith Richards - he didn't need no makeup, lol.And everyone walked out the movie house feeling like they'd had a good time. It is getting cooler since last week, 10-15 degrees overnight, but still getting up to 20-25 through the day. So long as the wind isn't strong really lovely days, blue blue skies but no humidity. Could really do with a couple of weeks of drenching rain, but I have never been a fan of being cold and wet. Marc > I didn't manage to make it right through number 2, tg it was a hire.

I enjoy both Orlando Bloom and Johnny Depp, so the scenery is good, but i do like a plot of some sort, not just an excuse to swing a sword, iykwim. So, maybe they learned a few things over no. 2. We'll probably get it on dvd in a year or so...I hate trying to sit through long movies - the seats are just not THAT comfortable. My living room is, and then there is the pause option. > It is getting cooler since last week, 10-15 degrees overnight, but still > getting up to 20-25 through the day.

Those temps are about what we're enjoying now, although the humidity has been present a few times. Cool nights, some falling near to 40F, and warmish days are just lovely. I could take that a whole lot, too. I spent most of the day today transplanting stuff and generally working in the yard. A lovely rain storm came along around 5pm, just as I was starting to water all the newly planted items in. That was so helpful! -Aula |
