Well this weekend was all pinned on the hope of good weather, but alas mother nature did not agree. It was cold, damp and really just a bit boring.
It was one of those non-starter weekends, when everything seems to take a long time and nothing goes smoothly, even if your at the bus stop really early , the bus will have left without you or hits road works and makes you feel like you might aswell have walked, but looking out you see rain and take back the last comment.
Anyway when there is rain there are movies!!! So on Saturday I did some tidying and milling around the flat then went to watch the newly released French movie called "strayed" set in the 1940's in France at the end of WW2, it's about a mother and her 2 children who flee Paris, have there car burnt out by a bomb on the way, go into the forest and are met up by a young boy of 17, they find a boarded up isolated house and it goes from there........cannot remmember what I did after that.....I'm getting forgetful in my old age.
On Sunday though it was still cloudy but not raining yet. I took put in the 5 mile Walk for Skin, around through Holyrood Park - which is really beautiful and I plan to walk that route again soon, it was really nice to get out into the fresh air, and play dodge the swan around the lake.
After that I must have walked another 8 miles around the city as the busses are few on Sundays, looking for nerd glasses for my photo shoot on Wednesday.
Anyway, my flatmate got a rare day off from work so we decided to see (another) French Movie called Russian Dolls, which is a dark slight romantic realistic comedy, which was cool, about a French writer and his friends around the world, dreaming, expectations of perfection and a wedding in St Petersburg.
Anyway........that's about it really, I know I must have done other things but probably not worth mentioning.....
