A real treat by happypat

A real treat

For the first time for months I went to the cinema today.
Not one of the large chain cinemas bit our local garden centre one. Dot & I went to see Alison Steadman in 23 Walks. A story about two dog walkers meeting up & becoming partners eventually! It was good...gentle watching!
You can just see Dot on the back row!

I got a text this morning asking me to upload the Coronavirus app, very timely as I used it at the Flower Bowl today. So many safety precautions...it felt safe & there were only four of us inside.

Three good things:
1. Very plush sofas to sit on....a G&T in hand...
2. Lots of talk so we had a great catch up.
3. An extra blanket on the bed tonight!
Looks like fun - must look out for that film, sounds good.
I can't upload the app - my phone is too old!

So luxurious - I wouldn't mind visiting such a cinema ! So good for you and Dot to have time and place for a good old catch-up . Getting so much colder - heating on , yes you will need an extra blanket tonight I should think !

Love it

Love the colours and nice to get to the cinema. Haven't been since January!!!!! Some precautions make sense, but others are ridiculous!!! A friend going to Glasgow can have her family visit her at the hotel she is staying in but they can't go to family house....I don't get it!!🙄

It looks somewhat surreal. And yes, a blanket on top of the summer duvet!

I can't see Dot at all, a bit dark for me! Film sounds good though. Peter downloaded the app on Saturday and was asked to report any symptoms. He said he had a change in his sense of smell, although to be honest he's had this since he came out of hospital after the operation, 7 weeks ago. Because of this he was offered a corona virus test on the same day - at our local town! When asked if there was anyone else at the same address who would also need a test he said yes. We both went down at 2.30 pm and got the results the following day at 10.15pm! Thankfully both negative. We had to administer our own tests - not pleasant as it makes you gag. Don't even know if we did it right!

Good to have time for a catch up!
I just watched our Prime Minister on TV announcing more corona restrictions, not only for the larger cities, but for all parts of the country.

It is so wonderful to go to the movie. There is never any one close to us at all. I feel bad for the theaters I hope they make it.

@sarah19 No nir me Sallie...I have done everything they say up,till now but you do begin to think do they know what they are talking about...I get that it’s a compromise trying to keep the economy going though.

@busylady I did Harry’s....it was hard to get to the tonsils, Harry’s tongue was in the way!...the nose part made his eyes water & he had a runny nose & sneezing all day but was ok the next day.

@gijsje It’s scary Bep....when is it going to end?
September 28th, 2020  
@louannwarren The entertainment business is completely absent here Lou Ann....we all need to be entertained in life so hope they survive!

@quietpurplehaze Yes ours is a summer duvet...I can’t seem to find the Winter one Hazel....
September 28th, 2020  
You did well with the camera settings to see this scene. A nice thought - G&T, comfy couches, an agreeable movie!
September 28th, 2020  
@casablanca Harry’s is too old too!
September 28th, 2020  
@julzmaioro Your hour went forward too so you are now same as us! Talked to Ant tonight!
September 28th, 2020  
Glad you were able to go out! Cozy couches!
September 28th, 2020  
@beryl Yes so comfy Beryl....little tables for your coffee or drink....very civilised!
September 28th, 2020  
Looks comfy
September 28th, 2020  
Good to get out
September 28th, 2020  
Very cool shot

@happypat

I know where ours is but what a Herculean effort to get it back into the cover!!!

How lovely you are able to go to the cinema again. Our cinema opened again on Friday and a friend and I were going to see The Secret Garden today but with David poorly we will put it off till next week.

I see Dot, is that your G and T next to her?
September 29th, 2020  
@onewing I want to see The Secret Garden too Babs but it’s not advertised here yet! I was a bit nervous going to the cinema again but honestly it was empty....not sure about going to somewhere like Vue but the small private one was fine. Hope you & David get out again soon...might be just the thing for the first trip?
Yes my G&T sitting there waiting!

@maggiemae Oh it was just a quick flash with my iPhone Maggie but it was better than I thought in that strange light.
September 29th, 2020  
GOOD for you ! ☺️👍
September 29th, 2020  
What an amazing Shot. I'm hoping for our first cinema outing this week
September 29th, 2020  
Not many people around it seems. Looks more like a big lounge than a cinema. I have lost count on when I last went to the cinema.
September 29th, 2020  
What a neat cinema!
September 29th, 2020  
Great blue tones and composition.
September 29th, 2020  
Wonderful way to capture what possibly feels a bit surreal after all the time away.
