The noise woke me first today. Wind and rain driving against the window. What a difference 2 days make.
On Saturday I was with Cris and the mini- Hewers constructing an elaborate sandcastle, splashing in the shallows, collecting dead jelly fish for Annika and rescuing little black shellfish she & Mathew had pulled off the rocks. Perfect weather, sunshine and no breeze. We even had a horse and rider straight from central casting walking along the beach. Made mine and Cristina's day!
It started raining a little bit on Sunday but we didn't mind. We were at the movies, an 'eye boiler' as Cristina calls it Mao's Last Dancer, a lovely film about a Chinese boy selected to join Madame Mao's academy to learn ballet. He eventually ends up in Houston Texas. It was beautiful and I cried buckets. He now lives in Melbourne with his wife and three children and has become a stockbroker. He made the front cover of 'National Seniors' magazine recently so he must have turned 50. That mag is for the over 50s.
I heard the book as an audio book last year, and enjoyed that too.
After the movie Cris and I did some retail therapy at the store where her sister works. A very satisfying day. When I got home, I topped it off by watching a one day cricket match between Australia and England. It was a close match, thrilling in parts and, ultimately we won...by 4 runs.
