Had a coffee with Jack and Brenda this morning which was nice. Been so long since i caught up with them and you miss out on so much... I was like Ok, so whats the story behind that!! Must be very fristrating. Thank goodness for blogs, at least one can keep up with stuff to some extent!!!

A rainy afternoon at the Movies

I was a HUGE fan of the Mama Mia Musical when it came to Australia.
Emelia and I took a bus tour and stayed at Kings Cross before heading to Star City Casino to see this musical. Talk about atmosphere!!!
We were up in the isles dancing and singing along... it was truely wonderful!!!


Then the Movie!!!!
All I can say is WOW!!!!!

I saw it for the SECOND time of no doubt the hundreds of times i am going to watch this movie and i probably enjoyed it more, as i wasnt distracted by all the things on the surface of the movie, i could see all the things at a deaper level.
Words just dont express the enjoyment this movie brings.....

Meryl Streep!!!! What a surprise! After seeing her in movies like "The Devil Wears Prada" and then seeing her like this, its like she is a different person!!!
Shes young, vibrant and so sexy in this role with her long wavy blond hair and looks so wonderful in those overalls.... and then she sings and just brings so much more to the felling of this movie!!!
Also the Donna and the Dynamos!! Arnt the Dynamos great!!!
Amanda Seyfried.... have we seen her before in anything.. Must google it!! Here is an inview on youtube So this was a role of a lifetime for Amanda. She started off as a singer and then going to acting... bringing it all together in this movie!! Nod doubt we will see lots more of Amanda!!

I must admit, until now i was never a big Pierce Brosnan Fan. Personally I much prefered Sean Connery as 007....

But what a hunk he is in this movie. Even his singing is all so believeble!!And Harry Headbanger!!! Hilarious!! Hes a bit hot in this movie too.. Pity he likes the boys though...
And isnt Bill loveable!! I think him and the cook wil make a great couple!! LOL
It was a wonderful afternoon with Mum and Ken watching this movie....

Stuff

Here is a layout i did last night for the 123 Cybercrop Challenge 2. Not real happy with it, but ive lost my mojo lately!!

Here is a function i did yesterday.. I did three functions, a memorial day and a 1st birthday yesterday and these are the only photos i took!! Must remember to carry the camera at ALL times!!!!
It was a 70th! Great colours!

Fore those keeping posted. My brother went to hospital last night, completely intoxicated. Apparently the ambulance discribed the scene as atroscious!! A heap of anebriated people sitting around his flat. They called the ambulance as he has lost consciousness. They dont know why - he wasnt saying - but did admit be being this drunk everynight!!

Honestly, if he cant see the reason to live and care of himself, why waste our time and stress worrying about him. I think this is evidence of our former decisions to just ignore him and his antics. The hosptail had to call security in as he was carrying on a treat! What kind of person does that to poeple who are jsut trying to help... a total loser .. thats what kind of person!!!

I drove past the footy fields yesterday and saw the littlies on the field with their coaches. I thought, thats what Mat should be doing - running aroiund on the footy field with his little bloke. Mat himself was selected as one of the first participants in the city to country footy scholoship that the South Sydney footy club set up about 30 odd years ago. He would go and spend a certain amount of time training with the club and they would bring coaches to Narrabri to train them as well. I think Mat may have been 7 or 8. They recognised his potential as a great footy player and were willing to spend money developing it. He has had so many opportunities, and blown the lot of them. All through grog. I think he was experimenting with drinking petrol around that age.. so what hope is there... A wasted life!!
