Here yot are, last part of Christmas, and the last Starbucks for this year.
Sad point, Dad took Mum into hospital this morning, her nose was bleeding for 3hrs in the night, although this doesn’t seem serious because of the medication she takes for her heart, the nose bleed wasn’t clotting which is serious! The hospital decide to keep her in over night to keep a check on her, and for her to get some bed rest.. Hopefully the will release her tomorrow.

Here we are Christmas again, the past couple of weeks manic preparation have now come to a conclusion, phew!
It’s a strange feeling this year, I’m surrounded by my parents, and my sister in laws parents. They are talking about their lives, their personal health and injuries, which is interesting, but I have not felt so out of place since I was in my teens. My brother is doing his best to entertain me but we are not that close so it’s awkward for both of us..
It’s good to be together, but secretly I’m glad it’s once a year.
Happy Christmas everyone, and have a fantastic New Year…

Getting ready to Kong it up

The 3pm showing of "King Kong" awaits – no monkey business, the king has arrived!
Synopsis: The tale begins in 1930’s New York when beautiful young actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) teams up with Carl Denham (Jack Black), an irrepressible film maker and entrepreneur.
Whilst filming on location on the mysterious Skull Island, they come across a giant gorilla living in a jungle where creatures have remained undisturbed for millions of years.
Their search for the gigantic ape leads to encounters both with Kong and the other prehistoric inhabitants of the island. Kong’s fate is sealed when he is finally subdued by the attentions of the beautiful Ann and he ends up being shipped back to New York, destined for a future on display to the public.
However, things don’t go entirely according to plan….
Conclusion: Wow! This is a true Epic – one that will last and last. Building on the classic movie, this remake is a winner! The pictures and images are classic 1930′s, the characters and acting is marvellous! I’ll certainly be buying this on DVD – highly recommended, go see it!
