Postponing.

I took these cute photos of my nephew when we went for a walk on Easter Sunday. I used the April 2 page sketch from Sketch Support.  I pulled the background together and forgot to save it and my computer crashed. A day or so later I redid the layout saved it when I had the background done added the photos and then my computer crashed again.  I added the photos again and then I couldn’t bring myself to add the journaling even though i knew what I wanted to write. It sat open on my computer for a week before I finally added it to finish the layout.

 

 

The other layout is using screenshots I took on Christmas Eve from the NORAD Santa Tracker. They have been sat in a fold on my desktop ever since so I finally forced myself to make the layout and get it done.

10 on the 10th

I was struggling to come up with something this month and then I thought I have been watching a lot of programmes on Netflix recently so I decided for this month’s 10 on the 10th I would do a list of ten films/tv programmes I have discovered or rediscovered on Netflix.

 

1. Charmed. – Watching all 8 series was the first thing I did with my free trial of Netflix – It’s still as great as when I was watching it years ago.

 

2. Firefly – I’ve heard about this show and how despite it’s now cult following it only lasted a year but I’ve never scene it until now. It’s great.

 

3. Mythbusters – I know it’s still on air and I’m watching it (loved the Duct Tape Island epsiode) but thanks to Netflix I got to go back and watch the early series.

 

4. Jane Eyre – I’m a big Jane Austen adaptation fan, but Jane Eyre was another one of those books I read multiple times as a child. Somehow I missed this adaptaion when the BBC aired it.

 

5. Lost in Austen – I saw this when it was on TV but I always wanted to watch it again. How cool would it be to be in an Austen novel

 

6. Kate & Leopold – I saw this once years ago, I forgot how much I loved it.

 

7. The Three Musketeers – I think it’s my favourite adaptation of the Dumas novel (but I live the one with Orlando Bloom too).

 

8. Good Will Hunting  - I saw this when it first came out and not since. But it’s still good.

 

9. Half a Sixpence – I remember when I was a kid one Easter (when we only had four channels) that this movie was show on 3 of them 4 times in the space of two weeks. I haven’t seen it since.

 

10. The Hitchhiker’s Guide To the Galaxy – after taking Shimelle’s class this was stuck in my head, I read the book years ago since I couldn’t find it anywhere I thought I’d watch the film. Martin Freeman seems to be everywhere now.

 

And that’s my ten.
