I'm on my way from misery in One day at a time

to happiness today. Nah, not really it was a song in a move I saw the other night (Sunshine on Leith), and has been stuck in my head since then. It's a lovely movie, if you are into musicals (it was a musical made into a movie), all the songs were composed by the Proclaimers and it is set in Edinburgh.

That was the fourth movie I have seen in the last couple of weeks. First was the Muppets, which was a good time. Then I took Mum to see "The other woman", her choice - and quite a laugh (especially when she asked me what Clymidia is on the drive home. Then I saw The Budapest Hotel as part of a work presentation, another lovely, quirky movie that people either seem to love or hate.

That won't be it for movies for me either, I am off on a work trip tomorrow so will watch a couple of movies on the flight. I'm going to a tiny spot called Norfolk Island (via Brisbane, Australia). It's one of those places that people make fun of relentlessly (it's known as the place for Newlyweds and nearly deads). It is an island rich in history and I have wanted to visit it for a long time.

I have a bit of personal history with it too. Mum had an Uncle and Aunt that lived there for years, and my older brothers would go there for their summer holidays. My Uncle sadly got some bad medical news and took his own life (around 20 years ago). I'm hoping some people on the island will remember them, and maybe I can see where they lived. I have this "thing" where everything has to be perfect before I go away and I always put unnecessary pressure on myself cleaning and stuff. Not sure why I bother as slobby the roomate won't bother while I am away.
