The Sunday Salon: A week of movies

Good morning, Saloners! It's 9.05 here and I'm 'lounging' at my desk with my tall cup of tea. We are expecting wet weather today, and after two days of beautiful sunshine, it doesn't feel good to welcome it. On the other hand, it is a good day to stay in, in my PJs, and do something fun.

In another hour, I will be leaving to pick the husband up at the airport. He has been away for a week to attend a training in Dallas. Which should mean a lot of reading and knitting time for me. But it was also an insanely busy week at work, so by the time I got home, all I wanted to do was have a drink (tea is my beverage of choice) and watch some feel-good romantic comedies. I skipped all my shows as well this week, so that the husband and I can watch them together, while he we cooked.

I watched a total of 10 movies this week, which is a huge number because I really don't dig television or movies. The husband is the clicker and I follow whatever he watches while I did something funner on the side. I must have gotten very used to the din of the TV because the house was way too silent this past week. Since Netflix didn't have any Meg Ryan movies, I had to make do with whatever else they had. The movie I was most surprised with was The Breakfast Club. Now, I had never watched this movie, never heard of it until a few years ago. (Not all American classics make a name in India.) And I don't really dig classic movies much, but I loved this one - so timeless, I think. There were a few others too which I enjoyed (What to Expect when you're Expecting, Something's Gotta Give, Runaway Bride, The Switch), couple of which I was watching for the second or third time, and a few I did not.

Today, I have some grocery shopping to do and some items to buy for the guest bedroom. I have been knitting a shrug this weekend, which I didn't think of until recently. I love shrugs and am almost always likely to be found in one. The one I'm making would be for cold evenings or an autumn day, but I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. What is happening at your end?
