Early Birthday!!

 Andrea took me into work today and we found lots of happy birthday banners put by her desk!!!  Some of them had a number on them which Andrea didn't like so we took those down!

 Then we found a card and a present on her desk too!!!  OH!!

 Later on, everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" to Andrea which she didn't like at all (she hates attention!) but then we saw the cake they made!!!  It had a picture of me on it!!!  AND it's chocolate!

Isn't that fab!!!

 We got given brilliant presents too!!  The biggest one was an acrylic paint set!!!

 It had a little easel, a canvas, six paints, three brushes and a palette!!  We can paint a masterpiece of Paris on this!!

 We also got a brilliant book about origami too!!  And it has lots of little origami papers in the back as well!

And then the little presents were a bar of chocolate and a bunny rabbit pen that flashes different colours when you bash it's head on the table!!!!  Hahahahaaaa!!

Andrea was a bit of a Grinch that Stole Christmas today but I think she secretly quite liked it!

New cable boxes

These cable boxes I managed to download direct from my camera memory card straight onto my Chromebook laptop and then edited them to crop out the traffic!!!  I'll add them into the rest of the collection later!

 

 This box plus the orange airplane one underneath were found in Hove on 16th May 2014

We got a birthday box!!!

We got a Big Box in the mail today!!!

It had a card on the top for Andrea and she said I could investigate the rest of the box myself!!

TEA BAGS!!  Yum!!

Oh!!

We got two bars of chocolate, some doggy paper whatsits

A MOUSE FLOWER POT!!!  Or an ink pot!  Or a pencil stand!!!  I love it!!

And two wooden coasters to put our tea mugs on!!!  What a brilliant birthday box!!!!!

Thanks Sir Woodstock and Diane!!!

Movie review - "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom"

movie review number 24

PLOT

This movie starts in Club Obi Wan in Shanghai with a blonde cabaret singer singing a Bing Crosby song in Chinese.  Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) walks in and sits with three Chinese businessmen to do a deal.  He receives first some money which he rejects and gets a diamond and a poisonned drink.  He hand over a valuable vase in exchange and takes a sip when they tell him it's poisonned.  There's then a huge fight in the club while Indiana and the blonde singer try and get back the diamond and the antidote for the poison and then they escape by jumping out of the window and falling into a car driven by a little kid.  Then there's a high speed chase to the airport where Indy, Blonde and Kid jump into an airplane that takes off!!
When Indy, Blonde and Kid fall asleep, the two pilots take the only two parachutes and jump out of the plane!!  Indy & the others wake up and escape the plane by using an inflatable rubber dingy as a parachute!  The plane crashes into a mountain, and the three end up "skiing" the dingy down the mountain, jump off the mountain side and into a river!!  They come ashore in India, and follow an old Indian man to a tiny village...... with no children in it...... Uh Oh!!
Indy, Blond and Kid are told a story of a magic Shankara stone that's been stolen by A Hideous Nasty Cult, who have also stolen all the children and that Indy has been brought to the village by Shiva, to rescue the stone and children!!!!  Indy, blond and Kid are shown the way to A Big Palace with the Maharaja lives..... who's about 10 years old!  They're served a fancy dinner of bugs and Eye Soup and chilled Monkey brains before retiring to bed.  THEN, Indy discovers A Secret Passageway!!!  He decides to follow it (so do Kid and Blond eventually!) and they discover the Hideous Nasty Cult is under the Big Palace!!!  And some of the Maharajah's staff work there!!!!!  OH NO!!!
It turns out that Hideous Nasty Cult have stolen three Shankara stones and are using the stolen children to dig in big caves to find the other two so Cult can Rule The World!!  Indy then decides to steal back the three they've got..... but he gets caught and made to join the cult!!  And THEN they try to make a human sacrifice of The Blonde!!!  OH NO!!
But they all manage to escape and have a really exciting rollercoaster ride through the tunnels in a big mining trolley, but then nearly get washed out of the tunnels by a big flood!!!
WILL THEY GET HOME SAFELY?????
You'll have to watch to find out!!

RECOMMENDED

Oh yes indeedy!!

SCORE
