The Hot Potato...the Movie



Finally I can publish the pictures of our amazing time in Brussels, on location in Bruges, and Gent. You can read my blog here http://roobywhishes.blogspot.co.uk/2012/01/my-first-ever-blog-for-hot-potato-movie.html, about the amazing time Mem and I had.

A British film, directed by Tim Lewiston, is based on a true story, about two men who found accidentally found some uranium in the 1960's. The story follows their attempts to sell it, dealing with some very dodgy characters, It is refreshingly funny, with no bad language, or scenes of a sexual nature. And it has a very unusual twist at the end, like The Italian Job. It stars Ray Winstone, Lois Winstone, Louise Rednapp, Colm Meaney, Jack Huston, David Harwood, and Derren Nesbitt. Ray Winstone plays a very different role. It is a wonderful film.  All the cast and crew were just so nice...no big heads anywhere!!!
Sadly, as with a lot of films, this one has gone straight to DVD, and hopefully it will do well...bloomin well better..the amount of money we put in, well not "we' but whats hubby's is mine!!!!!

Here is the trailer

And here are the pictures. Mem and I were extras, although you would blink and miss us!!!!!

ikea, ikea, ikea



My most fav day to go to ikea is never a Sunday, because the whole world, and its dog go. But I had to. Needed cheap mugs for mug painting!!!
And luck was on my side. Because today was probably the warmest day sine 1978 (jokes) there was hardly anyone there, ok when I say hardly, I mean maybe half a million people instead of a million!!!
But as I went up the escaliatior ( I know but that how I say it), there was a child, about three years old, trying to come down!!!!! I grabbed him, so shocked, and shouted for his parents. Nothing. Everyone just looked at me blankly!!!! Ok and this is when you get worried. Do I take his hand and try to find someone, or will I be in trouble for trying to abduct him!!!!! Then he was gone, down the stairs at the side of the escalator. So I run down, past him, and informed a staff member. Then other people started telling me that he was playing by the outside doors, and short while before, and had been on his own for a long time. ......HELLO?????....why was I the only one that was concerned???? And all this while he was up the escalator, and down the stairs. I was so worried he would fall...he was a toddler. Aaaaanyway as I went back up there was a staff member with him. She asked him where Mummy was, and he walked towards the restaurant. Mummy was sitting right at the back, rocking a pram, with another child in it, without a care in the world. She just laughed when she saw him, and as he ran off again she just didnt care. The staff member had to grab him back!!!! 
So I will not even try to understand. I was just sooo shocked. I am not going to judge her, but anyone could have taken that child, he could have fallen down the escalator and seriously hurt himself.......had Mummy just had enough??????
So I just gave loads of love and healing to the situation, and went off looking for mugs, which I found for 60p each....bargain buckets. I am volunteering all week, for the Friendly Club. They are having loads of activities this week to celebrate the Olympics, so I thought I would help out, and Mug Painting (no not my mug hehe!!) is one of them.
And ikea has launched a whole range of stationary...we are talking washi tape, paper ribbons, note books, journals, stickers, post it notes.......I nearly crashed me trolley......really stylish stuff..check it out








Oh and I did 2 more journalling pages...check me out!!!







and took these amazing pics in the garden at 6am this morning....loving the Orbs


Could this be Archangel Zadkiel, on the bottom right???







Enjoy the Sun, and relish the heat

Journalling Bliss Times




OMG....well this week has been very creative. I have managed a page a day in the Art Journal Book. Inspiration has been very forthcoming, so I have gone with the flow. And I really like my new A4 sketch book from Rymans, good sturdy pages for splodging, and spraying.....maybe thats it..all I needed was a new book!!!!

























I have found the need to be very still this week., or Lala-ing as my dear friend Robert called it. Just taking each day as it arrives, and I have been really appreciating everything. I am in love with this peace, and joy, and am so thankful that I can just be. I am eating really well, doing exercise classes, and meditating. 
I am so looking forward to a new path in my life, and am amazed at the true miracles that are taking place. 
This morning I woke up, and gave thanks to the tea I drank, and the gluten free bread I ate, I thanked the trees that line nearly every street on my drive to the Gym, I thanked my body for doing the Pilates class.......its just so much better than moaning, and living in fear...trust!!!!!
My darling soul sister Laleema http://www.lovelightlaleema.com/ came over for lunch on Wednesday. She is a healer, and does readings, and is so insightful, and tuned in.  I’m just so grateful to know her. So we ate bowls of Spelt Pasta with Veg, which was really tasty. And then tucked into a Banana and Coconut cake that Mem had made. She fell in love with my garden/park.....”ohhhhh how great would it be to get a Tipee, and do meditation sessions in the garden”....so thats a mission for the future. Ohhh and she doing the Salon website for me too...so talented!!
Aaaaaanyways, I am heading off to a warm bath, and Snatum Kaur.
Stay blessed and Loved
