Good morning to all our lovely tea room folk ....oh how wonderful to be almost "normal" again ...the sun is out, but it is still only about 11C here so I am waiting for it to warm up just a bit before wandering around (due to soreness.)
Oh yes jean I read The Shining way before seeing the film ...at the time the film did not live up to the book in my opinion ...however I truly enjoy the movie now ...perhaps because of the Hydro Majestic vibrations.

I stayed for a weekend and it really had a spooky feel to the room in which we slept, so I guess the movie felt very different this time around. I really loved it!
Speaking of scary movies, I was wondering what everyone's favourites may be ...don't you just love them?
I think my all time favourite scary one is "Deep Red"
It was not a huge movie out here but has a cult following overseas.

Another I loved but can't remember the name of one that was a veggie diner that had a veggie menu, in reality they were serving minced people ...they were bought undone when a vegatarian fish finger was found sporting a ring ...I love scary movies that are really funny, ""The Lost Boys""" springs to mind.
"The Uninvited" is another favourite ...an oldie in black and white ...fantastic.

So there is a question for you, if you are stuck indoors for any reason.
Ok the Garden ...I haven't been outside all that much since I did the neck thing ...so there isn't much to say about that except that my Iochromas are going very well ...even in the cool temps, I am thrilled, the Brisbane lilly bulbs that cestrum sent are leafing out
I have lots of flower buds on my new crosses but I think they won't make it in this early cold ...never mind, gives me lots to look forward to next Spring.Lots of little bulbs poking their leaves out ...
trees starting to colour up ...some naked already after the icy cold winds ...you can keep your warm winters, I love the changes and relief that the seasons bring ....have a wonderful weekend, to our dear friends up North enjoy your labor day long weekend ...our Labor Day here in NSW is the first weekend in Oct., I hope you have a wonderful time!
