What an evening !

Last night we went to see " the Dark Night rises " as planned and it was absolutely fabulous to be out and not to have to worry about anything. It was the European premiere in London at the same time but for whatever reason, it made them crazy in Southampton too. We were asked to be there an hour in advance, there were lots of identity checks, threatenings if somebody tried to record during the movie and waiting in line with all the organization people in black suits, running around. We were even wondering if somebody wasn't going to show up, but we heard afterwards that Prince Harry had chosen London instead !

The movie is really good, the THX effects a bit too powerful though as we came out of there half deaf and still body shaking from the vibrations in the seats but if it's your kind of movie, go for it, it's a great experience and you will love it !

This morning was a very nice start of the day and although it starts getting covered again, it looks like we might have seen the worse of bad weather. At least let's hope so.

Rhea is on decreased dosis of meds and I start noticing it as we walk less far but this morning she wasn't too bad. I need another week to make sure if she needs an increase or if she can cope the way it is. The meds not being good for her kidneys, we need to find the right balance and that isn't easy.

I took a lot of pictures of this plant but I do love it and here are some other views before the flowers blossom.

Project 365+1 - Day 201 : Cheese

I do love cheese, but the kind of cheese I love like running camembert or overdone mountain cheese doesn't photograph well. So I went for another kind of cheese.

In this house, when I want to take a picture of somebody and I say " Cheese ", they all take their teeth out in the most unnatural way and I constantly complain about it because we get weird photos. The kids being here today, I decided we do on purpose an unnatural session of photos saying cheese.

I don't know how to do that but believe it or not, when I asked them to do it on purpose, they all had the audacity to say they didn't know how to do it  . . .

So that's still my photo for today

but they forced me looking into my photo archives so I can show you what they do. You won't be disappointed :

First Dennis

Then the kids

Know what I mean and what I have to deal with !!! At least it's worth a good laugh each time I look at them again.

Take care everybody, xxx
