I have just watched this trailer for a new movie coming out mid-next year from MGM, The Sheep Detective, which made me laugh out loud it is that funny! Starring Hugh Jackman and everyone else who is it in Hollywood right now, this sheepish comedy crime caper is hilarious.
Shaun the Sheep meets Knives Out …
Check it out NOW!
The one thing I love about reading Elisabeth’s posts is the amount of comments she gets creating a great thread of reads. Today she’s posting about her Top Favourite Christmas Traditions which, of course, got me thinking about traditions my parents created for us, as kids. Sadly, we don’t have that many these days.
The one’s I remember the most were:
Our traditions now consist mainly of going to my sister in law’s on Christmas Eve for a party and dinner followed by present swapping. And though most unwrap their gifts then and there, me and mine always bring at least one home to put under the tree, joining our own, to open on Christmas Day.
It’s Sunday, it’s the Winter Solstice as of 10:03 est here in Québec, so I feel it’s okay to wish you all a very merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year.
I hope you have a joyous time with your family and friends, near and dear, and celebrate with love, gratitude, and grace.
I know how much I love a good challenge, and I know too that there are a few of you out there who, like me, love to answer blogging questions. So when I saw this challenge online I knew I had to do it.
So, welcome to The Blog Question Challenge.
And, the questions are:
Feel free to copy the questions and answer them on your own blog. And then, when you’ve answered them, how about asking three fellow bloggers to accept the challenge?
Today I thought to answer another of the #AMA questions floating around.
“What’s the best music-related experience of your life so far?”
Narrowing my answer down to just one person or act is impossible given the sheer number of concerts I’ve been to over the course of a long life (so far). I could say the best was meeting, inadvertently, the Rolling Stones when I was about 7-8 years old, and getting my photo taken with them. Though it’s true I didn’t, at that age, get to go to their concert or see them live on stage. Though decades later, I did get to see them from afar on the Plains of Abraham here, in Quebec City.
Fast forward to my teenage years at high school, and as a bunch of pimply teens, my co-conspirators and I where just at the right age, at the right time, to be around just as a number of emerging and rising stars where still doing small venues in cities across the north of England. And so, I was lucky enough to go see, Elton John (1976), David Bowie (1973), and Kate Bush (1978) all doing concerts at the Liverpool Empire theatre back in the day.
Not only that, we got front row seats thanks to Janet Griffiths’ father who knew someone who worked in the box office. So that our little group of four were there, right up close and personal with our musical heroes of the day!
I mean, come on, how do you choose between those three stars? Each was amazing in their musical performance, and sent shivers down my spine. David Bowie doing his Ziggy Stardust tour, Elton John playing songs from his Captain Fantastic & The Brown Dirt Cowboy album, and Kate Bush ending her concert with Wuthering Heights.
I, of course, went on to see so many more great concerts, I remember an outstanding performance, in Germany, by Emerson, Lake and Palmer during the late 70s and another with the Moody Blues. So many great bands, so many great singers, so many great performances.
