The weather is lovely at the moment, so warm and sunny, I thought I should make the most of it - with our northern climate in Britain it might be the only summer I get. Was sitting out on my front porch this afternoon.
I went to the bank and thought that I should add to "things I'll miss" are banks providing tea, coffee, chocolate and hot spiced cider. And popcorn on Fridays - not that I like popcorn but it adds a welcoming touch to the foyer.
This evening I went to the movies downtown and saw "Eddie the Eagle". Anyone my age and British will remember Eddie the Eagle, the British Olympic ski jumper (the only one) in the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. He was not athletic, and a very unlikely champion but he loved ski jumping and dreamed for years of competing in the Olympic games. I think it is what they call a "feel good" movie, and I left the auditorium feeling good.
I was somewhat surprised though that there were other people in the auditorium, I am used to having it to myself.
