Harry Potter rules KO!

You'd have to been living on Mars to have missed all the hype about the latest and the final 'Harry Potter' film, but tonight we went to see it as we were waiting for the crowds to die down a bit and if you haven't seen it yet, then I thoroughly recommend you go.
What a fab film!
Normally I get a bit twitchy in any film, but this held your attention the whole time and as the baddies were getting finished off, the cheering and the clapping started up the back of the cinema by the youngsters who were getting swept away with the whole happening.
By the time the film ended, the majority of the audience were clapping unashamedly, myself included.
Somehow it felt right to applaud, it deserved our acknowledgement in praise that it had come to an end. After all it has been 10 years worth of entertainment reaching a good conclusion and all while watching the stars of these films growing up in front of your very eyes.
It left you feeling quite strange inside. Some of the youngsters in there tonight were probably only babies when the first film actually came out, let alone the books.

I'd spent most of the day with Reni and the twins who were over from Nigeria, which was very enjoyable. They are two very well brought up children and I do have to remember what I say in front of them, because I have to try not to swear and then I blaspheme instead and visa versa!
I'm going to have to get my act together before the appearance of any grandchildren I can see!
We went off for lunch at one of the garden centres that also have a petting zoo, which they really enjoyed. It was a favourite of mine too, as I used love going to see the pigs, but today while they were feeding them, we sat and watched.
There is also a wool shop there, so we decided to buy some wool to make some things for Reni's friend who is pregnant. I decided to make a little jumper and by the time I had brought the wool, the pattern and the needles, I could have brought four cardigans in the little shop next door which was selling handmade baby clothes and I bet mine will look like a mini version of something Lady Gaga would wear by the time I'm finished dropping stitches etc!

When I went to sort out mother's dinner, she was watching ITV+1 again. I think that this digital switch over is going to hinder rather than help the elderly, as my mother is getting very confused with what the time is now. She thinks she is watching the programme at the time it says in her TV guide, but of course it's an hour later on this channel.
Mother sometimes has to use the TV guide to work out what day it is by checking out what matches the programmes on the TV and this change over is already confusing her. I'm not sure if it automatically comes on straight to that channel or what. I'll have to investigate tomorrow.
She does have a calendar that she pulls of the page each day, but sometimes she can't remember if she has already done it or not and it can all get very muddled.
It's no fun getting old is it.
Mind you she was a great helpful for me today, as the book that I'm reading and am in love with at the moment... 'The Kashmir Shawl' by Rosie Thomas... it has Welsh names in it and I wasn't sure how they are pronounced.
Mother being Welsh, read them and proudly explained that the name Eirlys was pronounced Ellis and Mair was produced Maya and then went on to chat in Welsh for me. I think it gave her a real kick to be able to help me.

Being dyslexic can be a pain in the bum when reading things, also when ordering letters to be made up such as i have just found out.
I have gold lettering saying 'Rock & Roll' on the main wall in my front room, as I was always saying it when we were about to do something at work... 'Lets rock & roll people'.
I decided to have some wording made up for the bedroom too, only two actual letters but unfortunately I got too many of the wrong one. I thought you spelt it 'Sssh' but in fact it's 'Shhh'
Well done Deborah!
Bless him, one of the twins who is only 12years old, said it doesn't matter, as it depends what letter you emphasise on when saying it.
Maybe I'll just order two more h's just to be on the safe side!

Lots of love Debbie x
