No boys in the house

This was a very strange day for me; with James working in Warwick, Jamie in Dundee, Ally in Magaluf and Davie in Wales, I found myself alone in the house. Of course I had my furry boy Jack to keep me company so I wasn't lonely, but it was certainly very quiet! So I decided to spend my day on a mix of leisure and usefulness. The useful bit was some cleaning and tidying, and the leisure bit was watching a film. I chose one that I have wanted to see but that I was fairly sure that no one else in the family would enjoy, called "Happy-go-lucky" starring Sally Hawkins. She is a great and very natural actress and she plays the part of a teacher who remains eternally optimistic despite various tribulations. It's a quirky wee film and I loved it. More cinematic entertainment was to come. After James came home we watched another film, "The Artist", which did so well at this year's Oscars. I thought it was tremendous, James not so much! No wonder it was so successful, it's lovely. It has been a good day but too quiet without my boys!
