Bobby (bobbej) | 1375 comments The wee wife and I don't get out to movies much....no time with my traveling but we did go see "Creed" last week at a theatre where they brought meals and wine to your seats!! Very cool....and the movie?? We both really liked it and the wee one is not the boxing fan I am, but this film isn't really about boxing. Check it out!! (an aside) It's better if you saw the first Rocky before viewing this one.

Yeah, must go to bed and read some more of my book! Oh, I hope I don't fall asleep after the first paragraph as per usual.


message 13371: by Laureen (new)

Laureen (laureenandersonswfcomau) | 133 comments P.S. Friday night staff party was really the sort of fun we all love. We had it at our own premises with food ordered in. We had a prize for the best costume - neck up. So simple. Then we had games which were easy but fun. I had a wig with cat woman mask. One lady came as Miss Piggy which was really good. The winner was a Queen. Neferiti look alike.

Problem was, we got a Maxi Taxi to get everyone home safely. Except when we go to our house I fell getting out of the cab. I misjudged the height of the cab in the dark (no, I was not drunk). I ended up on my bum. How I have a support brace on my right knee and by doctors orders, I am supposed to be on crutches which I didn't get as I couldn't think of anything more uncomfortable.

Problem solved, my darling husband turned one of his golf clubs upside down and said "use this". I hate to admit it, but a golf club is the perfect walking stick. I believe he selected the sand wedge (I know nothing about golf) but this stick was the perfect height and the "wedge" fit my hand perfectly. The handle was w rapped in a way that does no damage to our timber floor. I will never get a walking stick. This iron also works as a weapon!
