… and lots of fun !
ILLAWARRA Cont .
July : This was a night for thinking on our feet ! Each lady had to bring along a secret topic to be placed “ in the hat ”. On choosing a piece of paper from the hat , each of us had a moment to read the topic ( laugh or cry ) then were given 2 – 3 minutes to discuss it . Topics ranged from vaguely serious to the “ who would think of that ?” We all did very well considering and we found out how much we had stored away in our minds and then spontaneously pulled out the weird and wonderful to put forward our thoughts ! A fun night was had by all .
August : Our Movie Night … On the freezing “ horses b ’ day ” night we headed off to Robyn ’ s home for a movie night where we ate popcorn , chips and sipped wine ( just one , truly ) as we laughed and almost cried with the great characters depicting life for the “ upper crust ” in a retirement mansion in the English countryside . We saw the same old “ tricks ” being played out as if in the school playground . Bad habits sure do take a lifetime to tame , if at all . The celebrated , very “ mature ” musicians thought they were “ past it ” whilst still hanging on tightly to who they used to be … but a gala concert brought out their fears , expertise and a romance . Music was enchanting !
Based on reallife celebrities of the musical era , it was a great movie …
