David and I watched a film "Silver Linings Playbook" this evening. I had read very good reviews of it so I was quite interested to see it. I found it to be a bit strange and rather shouty, with the characters all talking over each other all the time. The characters were also very downbeat and troubled people, and I wasn't really getting it, until I noticed how much David was enjoying it. It's funny how people see things differently and David's appreciation of the film made me like it better. In the end I did enjoy it but David absolutely loved it.
I had a phone chat with Jamie this evening, who is making the final arrangements for his trip to Peru. He is working incredibly hard just now and he can't wait for his exams to be over and his travels to begin.
I have been thoroughly enjoying reading Ewan's blog about his and Heather's holiday in Italy. The countryside and villages around Portofino sound really beautiful and his descriptions of the scenery and their travels are poetic, evocative and humorous. James and I were laughing as we read his description of a scenic but steep walk they took where they needed to use via ferrata, because they had reflected during their journey that James would have loved it and I would not! How very true! They are clearly having a great time and I can't wait to see their photos.
