Glad you enjoyed it so much Kathryn. I didn't realise you were seeing it so soon. I haven't seen any trailers for it. I really must have a look at it. We have some free tickets at work for certain screenings but I hadn't really thought about it till now. We've just been giving them to customers who buy the book.

Here you go, Elaine: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yEO1TWe... - the trailer for The Hundred Foot Journey. The movie is worth $12 (which is what I paid for my ticket) - if you can take advantage of free tickets, it's definitely worth your time!! In my opinion, anyway!

Elaine | 2001 comments Oh Wow!!! Thanks Kathryn. It certainly does look good and I can see why you would have enjoyed it so much. I understand now your reference to The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. It's a kind of mix between Bollywood and gastronomy. Will certainly check out those tickets next time I'm at work.

It looks great Kathryn, will definitely go and see it....I loved The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, it's a personal favourite. This does look like its in the same league.

I think you'll enjoy it if you get to see it, Julie!

I'm not game to touch anything computerish until my son comes over. He is the expert and I don't want to get into trouble. :)

Thanks Michael:) It's huge and amazingly the sky is clear, so it's easily seen. Apparently it'll be at it's best to view about 11.30 tonight:)

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Good morning, Birdies!

I'm glad Brenda has confirmed it was a super moon; I've been standing outside just now, 4.30am, thinking 'is it my imagination or is that moon bigger tonight'.

I just had a look too: it was in the only bit of sky not covered by cloud

Veronica ⭐️ | 2387 comments Very cloudy here this morning. Hope we will see some rain


message 13282: by Leonie (new)

Leonie (leonierogers) | 3569 comments Was cloudy here last night, and I was hoping for some rain (our farmers are all getting edgy again) but it's dawned clear. Maybe later.

Carolyn | 9871 comments A bit of light drizzle in Sydney this morning. Not enough to make much difference but more is predicted this week.

No drizzle yet in my part of Sydney! Just cold and grey skies. I am hoping for some real rain very soon.

Marina Finlayson | 285 comments Just had a win at the supermarket! Went into Coles to buy a cake, and they were on special, $4 marked down from $6. When I got to the register it still scanned at $6, so they gave it to me for free.

That cake is going to taste so good!

They've certainly never done so before! I thought that whole "if it scans at the wrong price it's free" thing must have been an urban myth. I couldn't believe it when she rang up 0.00 dollars.

I've had that happen, but only for the first item so if you are buying six, only the first one is free, fair enough, I think.

B the BookAddict (bthebookaddict) Hello, EB's:)

For those of you with no rain, I will start lining up a 'bucket brigade' to send some of ours your way! And you can have the cold 10C we had yesterday as well!
