Top Gun 2 Lumbago and flatulence

Miles Teller and his acting moustache 

Last night , I met up with my sisters, brother in law, nephew, great nephew and sister in law for a trip to the cinema.

Everyone is banging on about TopGun 2 so we all thought we’d go

I never wanted to see Top Gun way back in 1986, so I wasn’t bothered to sit through a 2 hour rehash of American Jingoism with veiled homoerotic moments and slow motioned long looks into middle distance.

But I went

Some of it was exciting enough, I must admit.

 I did like Goose’s son ( Miles Teller)’subplot with Maverick ( Ton Cruise at 60) he was nicknamed Rooster and their father and son bonding at the end was suitably moving.

Sad not to see Kelly McGillis not reprising her love interest role from the first movie…..unfortunately for Hollywood she looks every inch her 64 years ( how dare she?) and would never have been given screen time….

Anyhow it was Glossy rubbish and

It was nice to see the family . I joked with my sister in law, as we were leaving  that we all should have our own nicknames like the characters in the film….

“ What would they be “ she quipped “ Rheumatism, limper, Lumbago and flatulence “, 

Guess who was flatulence?

Love

 Let me love

Deeper than divide

Wider than depths

And find 

The desire

To continue

Doing right

Even if

If doesn’t suit

My motives

Bonnie ……

I’ve booked to fly to the Highlands of Scotland on Friday. 

I’ve got cheap ( and hopefully working ) tickets to Inverness 

I’m catching up with my hospice friend Ruth , who has gone to the Highlands in order to heal after the death of her mother. She has returned to a sort of commune community who share farming allotments and poly tunnel food and produce. 

I am welcome to join her in her lovely forest hidden caravan if I help out with work

A duck to water , I thought. 

Yesterday a rather lovely troll suggested that my itchy feet was infact a nail in my marriage’s coffin which seemed a bizarre suggestion for sure. 

I think my steadiness was a factor if the truth be known . 

Steadiness can be boring, I understand that 

Steady and strong for some…..boring for others

So when I get my itchy feet from now on

I intend to scratch them both .

And so it’s Scotland next week then Rome. In August it’s Ireland and London and in September it’s Barcelona and  London again  .I’ve also got Berlin to fit in with my friend Jane before winter too …..

Christmas I’m thinking of doing something different too……

Next week I have the interview for my counselling course and in three weeks I go part time….

I feel like a mole sat in front of an open fridge door…..At midnight 

I’m blinking hard

More

 More Monkey Laundering.... Okay, okay, I know he's a chimp which of course makes him an ape and not a monkey...

I wonder if references to "breeders" should have been "keepers" instead?

Today's only other offerings  from The Yorkshire Pudding Blogpost Factory are three more photographs from my walk in East Yorkshire last Thursday and another of White Cross Cottage which is near the village of my birth.

You always knew you were nearly home when you saw White Cross. The "cross" in question is the stone pillar in front of the cottage. Historians generally agree that it marked one of the boundaries of Meaux Abbey's estate.  You can read about Meaux Abbey here if you wish.

In Londesbrough, the old telephone box is now used as 

a book exchange called The Wendy House..
