Being a smokejumper is a dream of mine like being a storm chaser. At 43 I don't think I will ever jump into a fire so I will have to be satisfied reading about it. This is a well told story that not only tells what it is like to be a smokejumper but also the history of this elite group. I now need to research the Triple Nickels. This book, like any good book, has led to more reading exploration. I highly recommend this book so you too may live another life.

At the moment this is my entire life!
It's actually a lot of fun. The game has kept up with having new events, quests and challenges every few weeks to keep everyone interested and playing.

I know there was a lot of hype when it first came out, then a lot of people stopped, but it's actually really good.

Doing raids you meet new people and I have met a lot of nice folks out there. Looking forward to Larvitar Community Day this Saturday!

"We’ll start with the cheese. [laughs] I’ve seen Dirty Dancing about a million times in my life. Always a good one. Just because, you know, I watched it as a teenager and your hormones are going crazy at that point and you’re like, oh my god, “Nobody puts baby in the corner!” I dreamed about being a dancer. And Patrick Swayze was so sexy in that film; a guy who can dance is always so attractive. It was just like a dream being swept off your feet — one of those fantasy films."

Old Acquaintance by Annabelle Jacobs
Old Acquaintance is a semi-seasonal story about two men who reunite after many years apart. Their separation was caused by life, and jobs, and the fact they never got on when they were at school, for reasons only known to one of them.

The story takes place on the build up to Christmas (hence the semi-seasonal), but it doesn't focus on the season! Instead, quite rightly, it focuses on Sam and Charlie. You stay with them as they work through their attraction, and communication issues, and even bring up history from the past.

There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading. This is a lovely book, with a real feel-good vibe to it. Funny in places, and low-angst in others, this was the getaway-from-everything book I needed. Most definitely recommended by me.

Netflix original.....
Honestly didn't expect the film to be as good as it was, I couldn't stop watching and wondering what the resort was all about, and when you finally learn the unpredictable truth it had me shocked.

Story about young ladies who don't always see eye to eye with everyone, who make their own choices in life but those choices are not respected and they go to paradise to learn to be a lady. It seems harmless at first until things slowly unravel and you learn the unspeakable truth about how these girls become the perfect women.

SPOILER ALERT...........

I don't quite understand after watching so many films like this why they tried at the very beginning to make it so futuristic to then go on to be a perfectly good film with nothing that hasn't been done already. The next part I didn't like was the duchess 'Milla Jovovich' through the film you can see she has weird moments and the final scene you see her in all her power and her true nature, I just didn't like the fact you didn't find out more, why she was the way she was, what made her that way. Apart from these two parts it's an all-round good film with actresses I have enjoyed in plenty of other movies and definitely worth the watch!!

Enjoy, I would love to hear someone else's views.......
