Alexandra Leaving

Weekend
This was a fabulous and eventful weekend. We went to my father-in-law's 70s birthday on Sunday. It was a very special event for a special person. He is always full of energy, optimism and love for life. Everyone had a nice time –his children organised a "surprise" party for him and invited all his friends. We made some nice pictures, Sasha took the majority of them. He-he! She is really interested in photography!

Shoes!!
I was reminded of this by elspethsheir's post of shoe goodness: last week I bought new shoes from Clarks! Shoes+me= endless obsession and this new pair is particularly comfy. Also it has that cute buckle on a side that (I think) looks very interesting. I don't want to take them off my feet when I go to bed. :D

( Shoes of comfort and pleasure: )

Cosy Cellar
And this is my den: Last summer we cleared our cellar, painted it and made into our computer/DVD room. This is my heaven, a place where I hide away from the world. :D

( The cosy cellar, Alexandra's favourite place in the house: )

"The Last King of Scotland" is an awesome film. I watched it on Saturday, but some of it's harrowing images and ideas are still standing before my eyes every time I get them closed.

(  I was very distracted by the fact that James McAvoy's eyes are a very deep shade of blue: )

( Gillian Anderson had a small role in this film. This actress is shining in everything she does: )
