What next!

We are sweltering in Sydney today while the UK are freezing. Getting ready in a minute to have lunch with Nora at our usual cafe......we are shouting this time.

Had my car serviced yesterday so it will be ready for my big trip to Nelson Bay at the end of the month. We dropped the car off at around 8.3oam and continued on to Castle Hill and thought we would see a movie. The one we wanted to see "It's Complicated" didn't start until 12.30pm so we decided on another one called "Did you hear about the Morgans". We settled down and the ads came on but only half the screen was showing and after someone went and mentioned it to them it was corrected. Then a trailer came on but there was no sound. The lights came back on and the young usher said they were having projector difficulties and things should be soughted out shortly. We had been waiting about half an hour and an elderly gentleman in his eighties got up and went to the front and began to tell us about some of the things that happened to him in
World War 2. Much to my surprise everyone listened intently, even the younger ones ( I think they couldn't believe what was happening), and all clapped him at the finish. About 10 minutes later the usher came back and said they would have to close this theatre as the problem could not be fixed at this time. They gave us our money back and 2 complimentary tickets. By this time Tony had had enough and lost interest so we went home. The movie we were seeing I believe wasn't that crash hot anyway. The only reason I wanted to see it was I like Sarah Jessica Parker but Hugh Grant is like a limp fish.

The hospital rang Tony yesterday and he doesn't go in until 2.30pm on Monday........the morning is going to drag. You know what it is like when you are going to the airport, you just want to get there and get on with it.

Just got back from the Little Rock Cafe lunch with Nora. Another catastrophe, we ordered and were waiting about 45 minutes and nothing arrived. It was not as if we ordered something that had to be actually cooked like the people at the next table we had already received theirs. One of the waitresses, not the miserable one that originally served us, saw that we had not yet eaten and went to sought things out. I would say the original girl just threw our order in the bin. Fifteen minutes later we received our lunch with an apology from the cook and the waitress. We thought we might get lunch for free but we were only offered free coffee or drinks. I wonder what number 3 mishap will be????
