PT today included a new goal: walking outdoors on the grass, bumpy terrain, slopes. When I ran out of steam, we headed home.
It was great, no need of assists, and next I need to increase stamina, bit by bit, until I'm back to my walk to the pond and the turtles and frogs. This was a definite great new frontier.
Later I did a mailbox run, look at me! This was after I slept on the deck thinking I was reading Howard's End..
About Howard's End, I don't really recommend it if you saw the TV production with Emma Thompson and the Welsh actor whose name always escapes me. Anthony Hopkins, yes.
Forster is able to create intriguing plots on important subjects and great conflict ideas. But he doesn't really know how to handle it. He tends to stop dead at intervals and start telling us how to feel. And he gives away important outcomes ahead of time, the old had I but known approach.
I think if he'd handed his plots over to maybe Trollope, and collaborated, it would have been so much better. Trollope wasn't in the old boy network, but I digress. Anyway that's my take, and I'm stickin with it.
Yesterday I watched Legally Blonde, again, and Legally Blonde II, both great fun.
The second featured Bob Newhart playing a doorman and totally crushing it.
They do address serious issues, sexual harassment, Washington shenanigans and double dealing, but with plenty of pink fluff and it's great fun to watch.
Then today my version of a horror movie. A documentary about the inner workings of a giant cruise ship.
It's a treadmill of work, great tech equipment, meticulous organization, humans working at breakneck speed to accommodate thousands of people partying it up.
Wall to wall people, flashing lights, noise, no escape, floating in the ocean, save me. It was entertaining and as close as I ever plan to come to taking a cruise. I know people who love them, and I say great, go for it. My introverted little hearted will wave you off happily then stroll away to walk, watch birds, think, avoid the neighbors.. I might dance a bit in the kitchen while waiting for the microwave.
Happy day everyone, I'm having a lot of them.
