No words

To describe how good this book was...

Ok...well maybe just a few 'don't' words...

Don't stop reading because there are a lot of characters introduced early in the book (it gets easier)

Don't read the reviews (go into it with no preconceived ideas or opinions)

Don't ever not stand up for what is right

But if you read it...do let me know what you think

No...not me.  Although...

It's the title of this movie I watched recently...

A good one.  Really good!  Something for everyone...intensity...laugh out loud moments...and great music!! (and just a warning...a couple of  swear words)

But...so, so good...  You can watch the trailer  HERE

Sunday in the south

Pouring with rain this morning.  It has cleared a bit now, but the sky is still looking rather ominous...

A bit over the macadamia and ginger shortbread, so made rock cakes...

Here's the recipe...

Plenty to be going on with...

Knitting more beanies for Bec

Reading BearTown by Fredrik Backman

I read his a Man Called Ove a few years ago and enjoyed it, and this one is also proving good...once I can remember who all the characters are.  Not the book's fault, but my memory :))

Time for a cup of tea and a rock cake!

Marnie and I visited a new café at Westbury...

Working on a new baby blanket for charity...

Finished another beanie (new pattern) for Bec's shop...

Starting a new book (from the library) 

And just because I love the soft autumn sunlight...

It will soon be time to light the wood heater and snuggle in for the winter

Even I...

...eventually move with the times!

Goodbye my little Samsung...you have served me well...

Movie night in down town Deloraine

 

Last Saturday night was the monthly Film Society movie in the Deloraine Little Theatre...

starting to fill up

The movie was Hidden Figures...



Which turned out to be surprisingly good.  Except...for some reason, they had English subtitles for an English movie???  Maybe someone in the theatre had requested it.

Anyway...it was a bit disconcerting, because I didn't know whether to read or listen!  I tried just listening, but my eyes kept going to the words, so in the end...just went with that, and 'read' the movie.  Still good!


Rain today, so a good time to...

Bake...

 feeding the addiction...more ginger and macadamia shortbread

Read and knit...

 beanies for Bec's shop

 

Listen...

Leonard's latest...and as good as ever

 

Keeping busy and staying warm

eat + exercise = balance

They always request my scones, jam and cream when they come to visit...

And then adjourn to the lounge room to eat...

A drive to the next town (Westbury), with Quamby Bluff in the background...

For a walk...

Where we came across some locals...

on foot

 tree dwelling

bench sitting...Forrest Gump style

 

 

And enjoyed the scenery...

A picture is worth a thousand words
