The King's Speech

Today I did something that I have never done before, I went to see a film by myself. Yes, I know it sounds as if I have lived a very sheltered life, but I have always gone with friends or my late DH.
Seeing a film in a theatre is something I don't do often, going only if the film has had rave reviews and looks as if it is one I would be interested in. I enjoy it more than sitting at home with a DVD, it must be the vibes from others in the theatre. The reviews for The King's Speech have been great and it has numerous award nominations, so this afternoon I went to see it.
If you are not familiar with the story it's about George VI reluctantly taking the throne of England when his brother Edward abdicates in 1936. George VI turns to a speech therapist to help overcome his stutter, and the two forge a lasting friendship. It was a lovely story and thoroughly enjoyed it. I give it two thumbs up and it is worthy of all the "Bests" that it has been given.
Consequently, there was no sewing done today, we are suppose to have another dumping of snow, this weekend. Reports give conflicting amounts we can expect, whether its alot or a little there is no need for me to go out, so I will be sewing this weekend.

The first time I went to movie by myself was when I was home from college on vacation. So freeing! Since then, I never hesitate to do things by myself--otherwise I would have missed out on a lot of fun things. Good for you, Patricia. I want to see that movie too.

Good for you, Patricia. I haven't been to a movie on my own either but I think I would if it was something I really wanted to watch. I am looking forward to seeing The King's Speech but it is likely to be a few more weeks before it arrives in deepest France. Glad you enjoyed it.
