Oh woe is me :(

I am so over being sick, even if throwing up 3 times a day may mean I lose some weight as April .I. ingeniously pointed out!
Is anyone free tomorrow and keen to come over for a coffee? Have been through all my I Love Lucy dvds and quite a few Cary ones too. Mum's been so good though. Aren't mums the best?!
Am just hoping I'm better by tomorrow night before I go to the ballet - Tutus on Tour - yay! And there's a five year old little girl in our group, so she should be gorgeous to watch. I still remember my first ballet, Peter Pan. I was about 11 though, but so, so magical. And any excuse to get gussied up, right?! People don't get dressed up enough anymore. I said to my mum once that I'm trying to change that, one function at a time!

But yeah, visitors tomorrow and Wednesday would be muchly appreciated!!!

I saw Notes On A Scandal the other day. Brilliant. Except for the stupid cow in front of us who had her cellphone out during the film, and when I less than politely snapped at her (no sympathy for rude morons) turned around and said "It is off!" Yeah, that's why you keep pulling it out of your bag while it's all lit up like a friggin' Christmas tree! Grrrr!
Anyway, wow. Judi Dench just never ceases to please. And what a role! I would love a role like Barbara. My favourite part of drama class - other than performances - was delving into a script and doing a complete and thorough character analysis; and wow, Barbara would have been an amazing character to analyse.
Cate Blanchett I absolutely hate, but she's a tarty cow who played a tarty cow in the film, so I suppose it worked!
So, in conclusion, GO SEE IT! If there were runners up for Best Actress Oscars, it definately would have gone to Dame Judi. Brilliant. My modern day hero(ine); one of the few, if not the only, actors today who can draw crowds to a film just by being in it! Not something that has happened much since the 50s!
