Rawalpindi

My honey lives there.
I remember the black swan where between us we watched the whole film. You covered your eyes for the sexy bits and I covered mine for the nasty bits. I didn't enjoy that film.

I would say that the friend that I have seen some of the worst movies with was Bev. We could never get it right. I've seen some of the best with you. I particularly liked some of the earlier ones where we didn't do much watching.

Movies

The first film I ever saw was Jungle Book with dad. I am not sure what cinema it was at but I do remember that we had to leave part way through because there was a fire or at least that is what I think happened. I would have to check with dad to be absolutely sure but as we are both losing our memories I am not sure if I have made it up. I also remember seeing Grizzly Adams and The Spy Who Loved Me with dad. When I was older we went to a cinema in Walsall - it was unlike cinemas today - one screen (or maybe two) and the queue would go around the block. The carpet was always sticky and you bought your ticket and sat anywhere you could. It was a Canon cinema but is no longer there. It became a Woolworths.
The story of the little match girl - another story that makes me cry.

Match Box

This reminded me of something we were asked to do when I was a young girl and that was to see how many things I could get into a match box. I think I remember the match box being one of the stubbier types (not swan) and I think I also remember getting quite a lot of things into it. You couldn't have two of the same thing. Funny really but I wouldn't mind having another go at it now. In fact I think that we both should have a go and see who can get the most in theirs. What do you think?

The only joke I could find

Q: How can you avoid spotting a wrinkle every time you walk by a mirror?

A: The next time you're in front of a mirror, take off your glasses.
