WW2 at the movies update!

So, I started the movies on WW2 thing today. We looked at life under Nazi rule through the epic that is The Sound of Music! So, we took a look at the clip from just after the wedding to the end of the concert. In amongst the singing is a glimpse at Austrian nationalism, at how the Nazi's gained control- and at the impact of Edelweiss on occupied Austria..

Next lesson is who was with the Nazi's and who was against: plus the all important how reliable is this film as evidence!

Then its onto Goodnight Mister Tom (or Hope and Glory!).

Happy days!!!

Remembering What I Enjoy..

Occasionally I forget things. Some stuff like birthdays, names and stuff is a normal human thing, and I don't sweat it so much. But I also forget some other stuff which is not so good. I forget what I enjoy. I don't know how it happens but it does from time to time. And its at these moments that I need a bit of help remembering. So- this is a request for help. What do I enjoy doing? What gives me joy? Leave me a comment.

Who will rid me of this meddlesome...

... piano? It occurred to me yesterday as i nursed ANOTHER bruise on my arm.. that I have had a piano sat in my hallway for 2 months! It seemed like such a good idea at the time but apparently is not... its stuck there and everytime I walk down my hall I have to squeeze past the darn thing- often not successfully! A number of options lie before me: -chop the thing into several hundred pieces -find lots of people who want to move it.. to where I'm not sure -sell it -give it away -pray it away It goes next weekend.. even if it kills me... which it might.. hummm

MK Apple Store!

Opens 1st March. I move and the joy of Apple begins to surround my home town! Hmmm.
