Fingers crossed!

Good Evening ,Everyone .....Late entry this evening ,Maurice has just gone off to do the first of his three nights again ,so I saved the posting of this until he'd gone, to give me something to do !Mark (my eldest son )and his wife Chrissy came to see us this afternoon.They want to go roller skating next Sunday ,as Maurice will be at work ,they want me to go too!!!well I could go and take my knitting ,and watch ........It's most of my life ago since I skated last ,both roller and ice, Mm  we'll see!

We watched a really nice film last night ,it was on late so I dont know if anyone else saw it,a biopic of the life of Charley Chaplin .Charley was very well played by Robert Downey junior .Geraldine Chaplin played her Grandmother ,the story starts  in London ,where Charley starts of in Music Hall,he is then discovered by Fred Carno,they do a tour in America ,and Charley ,is then invited back where he goes into the 'flickers 'and his famous black and white films of the  little clown,were made ,mainly silent movies,Charley fiercely resited the talkies ,so only made about four .All through the film ran some lovely music..my all time favourite 'Smile'and the theme from Limelight ,(I'll be loveing you) ' Eternally '.Dare I say...oh go on then ...they dont write songs like that anymore ! 

I plan to watch Professor Robert Winston's 'A child of our time 'tonight ,followed by'The Virgin Queen ',and tape Foyles War ,So now before I get settled in for the evening I am off to wash the dinner pots .Have a blessed ,whats left of Sunday ,dear friends.
