A RABBIT TALE - AND SIGNS AND SYMBOLS

 It doesn't mean I spend my whole life looking for them but something will send me off trying to find a meaning for a particular thing that happens in my life.  On this particular day quite awhile ago I was in that "wonderment" of life where everything seemed to talk to me.   This little baby on a fall day lying on the deck with no life left (damn cat)... really touched me, ...enough to sketch it.   I took a photo of it and sat down to sketch this in my nature journal I was keeping at the time. 

(For instance, this morning before waking up completely I had a lucid dream and the only thing I remember is a white van with the word "Periscope"  drove by on my street and I woke up at that time. The letters were bright- hard to miss and big.  I figure the meaning of this will come to me soon. ) 

So why did the cat put this cute little bunny on the atrium where I would be sure to see as soon as I walked out.  I'm thinking after the fact and  now years later, that maybe it was a gift from the cat to me.  Just recently we had a feral cat bring a chipmunk right to the back door and drop it on the mat outside the door.  We have taken good care of her and made sure she always has food and so there was no doubt it was a gift.   

So here is what I had found on the internet about "rabbit" medicine.  





Bake Off

 I forgot bake off had started tonight 
Nuala messaged me and I caught up just in time 
As usual a nice lot... but a general representation of London UK not general UK 
Not many gays this year Too ! 
I’m disappointed in Matt Lucas.....




The Broken Hearts Gallery



I’ve been well overdue for a rom com, so one set in a beautifully photographed New York with a likeable cast and a witty script was just up my street today.
The Broken Hearts Gallery fits the bill nicely .
Although wordy ( blink and you will miss the machine gun delivery ) this is a story that will touch everyone who has been dumped in a relationship.

Geraldine Viswanathan 

Lucy Gulliver( Geraldine Viswanathan ) is a twenty something gallery supervisor who hordes memorabilia from every failed relationship She has ever been in . After being fired from her job after been dumped by her boss boyfriend she bumps into Cute as a button Nick ( Dacre Montgomery) Who is trying to built a bespoke  hotel and by chance opens up an art gallery in the Hotel’s  balcony , an art gallery filled with the public ‘s saved Souvenirs from past relationships .



Of course the plot after this isn’t rocket science to work out , but if you add to the mix Lucy’s wisecracking flatmates, Nick’s best friend Marcos (Arturo Castro) - who looks and sounds like an young Bill Murray and a botoxed to death Bernadette Peters as a wacky art expert you can see that writer and director Natalie Krinsky has thrown everything but the kitchen sink into this her first film .

The adorable Dacre Montgomery 

Generally the movie works. 
It’s amusing and sweet despite given a slightly hardened and foul mouthed New York tinge.
Viswanathan is sassy and bright in the lead. Montgomery is very easy on the eye and cries more than the heroine and the supporting cast is likeable and memorable and look like they enjoyed acting out the bright and sharply observed script.
In one interesting scene Lucy is finally able to dump an unsuitable boyfriend and her words to him  resonate amid the laughs “ You are the hero of your own love life And the villain in mine,!”

If you need an amusing , light romantic movie to fill a dull afternoon...try it out

Octopus

 


My kitchen is looking more colourful of late
I noticed this this morning when I made pea and ham soup thickened with butternut squash and flavoured with extra garlic
The octopus dish I treated myself from John Lewis yesterday looks mighty fine and rather cheerful
I’m liking the splashes of colour
Going to the cinema later and have booked another cinema trip tomorrow 
Review later
