Remembrance Day 2009

Remembrance day or Poppy day is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month, to remember the end of the First World War. As it was the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month that the war came to an end.

A two minutes silence is observed at 11am on the 11th (and on Remembrance Sunday as well). I was watching on TV live from Westminster, so had the 2 minutes silence. On Saturday at the Newcastle match we had a minute’s silence before kick off for remembrance day, as did all other matches across the football league. 

The Queen attends Westminster and the silence is followed as soon as Big Ben strikes 11.

The Poppy quickly became part of this remembrance and are on sale for weeks before, and everyone on TV are seen wearing them. Which I think shows a fantastic type of togetherness.

We will not ever forget those who lost there lives in battle for us all to have a better life.

VACATION !!!

Woop !!!

I am off on my vacation now. Tomorrow morning I am heading to Boston, I dont know if I am taking my computer or not so may not have any updates until next Thursday as thats when I get back.

My first 4th July in the USA !!!

Movie Character’s I Have Related Too . . .

You know what its like, theres a moment in a movie when you totally feel for the character because you can see some of yourself in them and just know you would react the way in which they do. So I decided to make a little list using icons to help explain it all.

I will start with Bridget Jones . . . picking the wrong guy and doing really stupid things, yep that sounds about right, haha. And yes I have drunk a bottle of wine to myself on a few ocassions, like a virgin is my karoke song . . .

   

Iris from “The Holiday” played by Kate Winslet. Had such an awful time with a certain guy, she even gets a holiday exchange to get away from him, haha. But yes I could so feel her pain at times knew exactly hows she was feeling.

   

Charlotte in Lost in Translation . . . I just really have hit a crossroads in my life over the past couple of years and not sure at all what I am supposed to do.

 

Well I guess when looking at the icons those are the only three that I could find. So this will be part one, haha.
