WOW! Where did March go? I had a busy month studying my course, attending to only a couple of craft meets and continue bowling on Sunday night.
My team Is currently in first place. The second team (who has the top bowlers with 200 averages) is only one point behind us. Myself and my team mate had star of the week rewards and I won the one of the raffle draws once.
Besides the normal commitments I managed to see 1927 in concert with my boyfriend. Wendy Matthews was their special guest.
Every Wednesday Rachel and I were at the club for dinner and see a free move upstairs. Watched the movies we haven't seen before.
Speaking of new release movies my boyfriend and I had seen STILL ALICE at the cinema. It's a fiction story about a professional doctor in her 50s with Alzheimer's Disease. This story plot was too close to home as I had a grand parent with this horrible disease. The actress who played ALICE won an award for the best actress!
I can't believe the start of Easter is only two days away. I plan to do some Easter shopping in the morning after I drop my daughter of to school. At this stage I don't know what we are going to do as my boyfriend works night shift on Thursday night and day shift on Easter Monday. Also I won't see my girls over Easter either as they will be away with their father. Rachel's birthday is on Easter Monday.
The girls will have the start of their school holidays on Good Friday. We haven't made any concrete plans as this weather is so unpredictable. Also I have some study to catch up on.
All the best for a safe enjoyable Easter break! Safe travels on the road if you have any travel plans. I don't think I will be driving much over the weekend as we have been forecast a wet and/or story weekend. It's heavy rain right now while I am typing up this blog report.
'Still Alice' was only just turned into a movie through a book by a neurologist who wrote a book called 'Inside the O'briens'. It's about a family who are going through the worse things in life... mainly losing their breadwinner to Alzheimer's Disease. Everything in the book is fact, but put into fiction so people can read it easier without it feeling like a textbook.
ReplyDelete'Inside the O'briens' by Lisa Genova.
Just thought to let you know, as there's a big interview with her in this month's Good Reading Magazine.
Actually, I have gone back to the article and the book was about Huntington's Disease, not Alzheimer's Disease...
