Yesterday was such a foggy morning, when I looked out the window at 7.00am. I don't recall this happening here before at all. You could hardly see a thing looking down the road in our village.
A very foggy morning
Once the sun came up it chased all that fog away. It reminded me of Kathy wandering around the foggy moors, calling to Heathcliff! It turned out to be a beautiful sunny Autumn day in the end.
Later that morning I took myself off to the movies, I was keen to see The Sheep Detectives. I wasn't sure what to expect, I'd either enjoy it or hate it. But there was only one way to find out.
I was the only one in the theatre, (there are three picture theatres in this complex) so I could sit anywhere. So it was just me, the sheep, and Hugh Jackman. It was a gentle story, albeit being a murder mystery, set in a picturesque English Village. When the shepherd was found dead, the sheep, remembering all the murder mystery books he would read to the flock each evening, did their best to solve the crime, leaving clues for the rather bumbling local constable. I must admit, I didn't guess which one did the deed, which probably means that those sheep are smarter than me. The film was light, and enjoyable, and who doesn't like Hugh Jackman, and Mr Google told me he is an Australian, I didn't know that.
Since I was in town, I went to the local quilt shop and found a few things I was after. A refill cartridge for my Clover chalk pen, and a couple of hanks of Perle no.5 cotton. Not every shop stocks the no.5 so it can be difficult to find. I had an appointment as well, it is good to combine what's on the shopping list these days, with the fuel prices being so high.

That fog! We sometimes see that here, so I know how it can feel a little disconcerting, almost spooky. I'm so glad you saw "The Sheep Detectives" movie! A friend who saw it just told me about it, and said it's excellent. As for Hugh Jackman... I knew he is Australian. Have you ever seen the movie "Australia" with Mr. Jackman and Nicole Kidman? I highly - very highly - recommend it. In fact, it's a movie I own and have watch about a dozen times. No matter who we are or where we live, we all appreciate a little Hugh Jackman in our lives!
Hi Jenny, this film looks like the sort of daft one that I'd enjoy relaxing with, I'll look out for it when or if it arrives in England. A sort of Shaun the Sheep with a good looking shepherd. Lovely to see the spread you and your friends put on for each other, and all the delightful things you make. Elaine in UK
it is not often that you are the only one in the theater is it = happened to us a couple times over the years. I had not heard of that movie
Looks like an entertaining light hearted mystery.Yes, fuel seems to loom large on the expenses lately, we tend to try and do everything grocery wise on a Tuesday, but this week I had to go again today, our guava tree is proving it warrants the place in the front flower garden and is so prolific. So jelly, and with feijoas from a friend, and bananas from the freezer, baking for family and posted to Grandson too. More to do later today.Rotorua as well as Taumarunui also had fog !!!
We quite often have a fog like that, it really seems to dampen the sounds of the city. I have heard some good things about that movie, so perhaps we will need to see it.
God bless.
That movie is on our list! Maybe we will go see it this weekend. We sometimes get fog like that here, usually in the fall.
I want to see that movie. I'll most likely wait until it comes out on dvd.
That sounds like a nice way to spend the day. The movie sounds light hearted and enjoyable
