Seven Brides for Seven Brothers and other Films.

SHE got an email from Joanna Darcy a couple of days ago. Joanna is the Blogger who writes La Vie en Rose. She and Jean-Jacques lived in Paris when fhey were newly married and Joanna recently started her Blog with a couple of stories about # 1 & # 2 son, she has SEVEN SONS, and J-J, eight men and one woman in one house, brave gurl.

Anyway, she queried whether she should write about them all, or to keep the material for a book, what to do, what to do? SHE replied... "Write it all down, every Tale you can remember because they won't be able to remember the anecdotes and I think it is important that the stories and facts are written down because time will pass and someone will ask their bigger brother what about so & so, and they won't remember but a Blog gives them access to what went down as it were, as it happened".

Do you remember the film 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', how many Grandchildren must Joanna & J-J have?

The other reason SHE told Joanna to write it down was it is MUCH easier to cull stories than to suddenly have to remember them, if everything is written, the really great stories POP right off their pages and those are the one's that are Book Material. Isn't SHE right LuLU, who is a Professional Editor and writes the most excellent 'Unofficial Guide Book to London', the 6th edition should be being started on sometime soon.

Have you read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? It is a good book which SHE read earlier last year BUT the film is BETTER and SCARY indeed, there were bits in it that had HER disappearing in HER chair.

SHE says the whole concept and the buildings are brilliant and as it is close to Hammersmith, it is easy to get to. An extremely good place to go and see a film and eat lunch or supper.

From what she has described, it is amazing, I would love to go and see it as it sounds open and light and I would have fun zooming about and up and down, ever since MY flight UP the stairs at the Studio, I've been remembering the old workshop in Deptford, it was an old, under the railway arches, building and I flew happily up and down until I was too tired to flap any more.

I am now waiting for HER to get the cooking act together, SHE may not want much to eat but I want some steamed Broccoli. I bet SHE ate Singapore Rice Noodles with HOT Chilli Oil. It is true that you take the gurl out of Malaya but you can't take the Malayan Food out of the gurl!

GeeGee Parrot.
