3d or not 3d, that is the question

My nephews Callum and Max recycle their 3d glasses
These past few weeks I've been lucky enough to indulge in some trips to the cinema to see the third Transformers movie in 3d and of course, Harry Potter:The Deathly Hallows part 2. I actually managed to see HP in both 2d and 3d within 24 hours; due to a friend having a spare ticket for the 3d showing, although I realise this does not make me any less of a geek than I really am.

I grew up in the eighties, when technology was still developing for 3d and it really wasn't a great success. Now over 20 years later, there seem to be many films being released in 3d and they can be an amazing experience, Quite literally, they can bring a film to life, I've now heard that they are looking into developing smell-ovision too, although whether this will be a great addition to the film experience will have be reviewed on the first release. The one thing I really enjoy is seeing my nephews and niece enjoy a great cinematic experience but what a difference a few decades makes to what I experienced at their age.

I love 3-D but think some films are made 3-D afterwards when they realise they've a clunker on their hands!

Not much I can say but after watching the film 'Brassed Off' for the numerous time, I cried at the fact that although this film was produced in the nineties, our country hasn't improved in terms of employment but there is still hope. RIP Pete Postlethwaite x

My new obsession

Image
A year ago, I decided to do something about getting healthy and making time for exercise.   I'd tried a gym and managed to fall off  a treadmill, my attempt at Zumba was one spin too many and trampolining keep fit resulted in painful knees and a struggle to get up off a train seat. But I've caught the running bug! This time last year I started to go running, after seeing an online post about starting up a small running group.  My early running days were a struggle, barely able to jog let alone run for a minute.  But I stuck to it and can now run for ten minutes nonstop, actually run! The beach promenade is my gym, a early morning run on a Saturday morning is my work out and I am ready for more.  Instead of a new years resolution, I set myself challenges for this year including running my first 5k and by spring I aim to do this. It does mean that some of my footwear choices lately haven't been about the height but more about comfort and speed, but it doesn't me

Shoe of the week

Shoe of the week . . . Really? For the current weather we are experiencing, I should be nominating a pair of waders of the week!  With May apparently going to be the wettest month this year, a pair of wellingtons rather than a great pair of heels is what you need.  But why should they be boring. These wellies from Funky Wellingtons should be enough to brighten any dismal day. Got to protect those paws I can't forget my four-legged friends during the wet weather, our dogs still need to get outside and exercise but it doesn't mean they are waterproof!  So, a set of boots for dogs would be perfect to ensure those lower to the ground are protected from the cold too!.
