The
bits of stuff that fall in the cracks between Life, Music
and Outrageous Fortune. |

Of
movies and luncheons..
20.1.14 - It's only one more
day now and Maria and I will be boarding the plane
to NZ. Lots has been happening and now the panic
to get things sorted and packed - I just checked
my passport and it's up to date, thankfully. Yesterday
we and the Robbos were invited out to lunch at Bulla,
just a five minute drive from the historic Sunbury
Festival site and, sure enough there was an opportunity
to pop down and take |
a squiz at the newly
restored Billy Thorpe plaque. Apparently the original
one got knocked off and the council commissioned
a new one, only for the original then to be returned
anonymously to the local Salvation Army. The story
goes that the original plaque will now be presented
to Lynn Thorpe, which seems appropriate I s'pose.
In other news Maria and I have discovered recently
that the local flea-pit, the Waverley Cinema, located
in the Pinewood Shopping Cemtre barely five minutes
away from home, is not a flea-pit at all but actually
a well maintained and well patronised mini-complex
with a good selection of movies on show. In the
recent brace of uncomfortably hot days we took in
both The Book Thief and Philomena,
the first perhaps disappointingly coming off
more like a classy children's movie (with a John
Williams soundtrack!) and the second quietly impressive
and pretty satisfying overall - although Chris struggled
to stick with it. |
