Martin Luther King Day

A holiday.  ie banks are closed but everything else is open, even the Senior Centre.

 

There's not a lot to write about because I have just been sat in front of the television getting square eyes, but working on my needlework project so not entirely wasting time.   Since the tv remote only knows Fox News - it has even lost its way to the Food Network - I am becoming incredibly well informed on the news - pause for hollow/derisive laughter from liberal family and friends.

 

I've arranged to go to  the movies this afternoon with Pattisue to see 'American Sniper', but am beginning to think this might not be a good day, it is being said that cinemas are going to be very full - and in Shawnee there are four performances in two cinemas - I think I might give her a ring and see what she says.    Tomorrow might have been a good day when the nation is sat is front of the television watching the President's State of the Union address, but then she intends to watch it too, and has already ruled out the movie while it's on.

Jeremy took me to Purley to see my old friends Anne and Bill.

Just called Pattisue about the movie and we have decided to go on Thursday instead.  She was having second thoughts about today as well.   She said back in the 60s she went to see The Alamo on a holiday, the cinema was packed with youngsters and every time a Mexican was shot there was cheers and uproar.   I asked if she thought there was going to be cheers and uproar every time a baddy was shot in American Sniper, and she thought there might be.
