Famine to Flood
Funny how it life goes
isn’t it? We don’t go out as often as a lot of people do but maybe we will go
to a movie once a month or so, and usually more evenings out during the summer
months. This week though, is more than a bit giddy and we have outings booked
five days out of seven and no idea how it happened that way. Sometimes it seems
that there is not a movie or show that we fancy for months. Yet last Sunday night
we went out to see comedian and west end star Brian Conley, performing less
than ten miles from our home at the Pavillion in Worthing with the tour start
of his new show ‘Alive and Dangerous’ and yes, we nearly split our sides
laughing.
Our next outing up, is a
drive to London to the Royal Geographic Society for their Antarctic Legacy of
Ernest Shackleton and Frank Hurley, now known I think as The Endurance Exhibition
and then straight after that, stepping directly next door to the Royal Academy
for the ‘Painting the Modern Garden: Monet
to Matisse. The on to visit friends on the
way home. Such excitement in one day!
Then, on Wednesday evening
a movie that we had missed when it was newly released, The Danish Girl, we’ll
be going to that with my daughter Jacqueline, who is also on catch up for that.
This one is at our local Windmill Cinema in beautiful downtown Littlehampton. Well
anyway, at the beauty spot where the River Arun flows into the English Channel .
The following night’s
delight is one of those, ‘direct from the opera house to local cinema’
performance by our favourite operatic tenor Jonas Kaufmann in an Evening of
Puccini and for that we will troop in to the Connaught theatre cinema, where my
mum used to work as an usherette when I was a child. Of yes, I was a child
once! The week will be rounded off by a dinner with friends for a birthday
celebration. We will need three weeks rest to get over all the excitement.
Stunningly for me and my easy
going husband, this February week has gone not from Flood to Famine but quite
the opposite; From Famine to full blown Flood.
Variety is indeed the
spice of life.
