Motivational Monday Quote #4

Morning guys! I’ve had to read several bloggers “Motivational Mondays” to get me motivated this morning!

I can’t really describe my weekend, it was fairly strange? I did a few things but it feels like I didn’t?? I’m not sure if it was an enjoyable weekend or not!

This weekend we celebrated my Nan’s birthday, myself and my mother took her to Côte Brasserie one of my fave places to eat in Brighton! It was great fun and the weather was a perfect spring sunshine! 

We went for lunch on Friday, however her birthday was on Saturday, due to my mother being at a spa this weekend we celebrated on the Friday! But Saturday morning came and I realised my nan would be sitting at home alone on her birthday, not great! So I decided to purchase some flowers and pop in to see her which I knew brightened up her day!

This is why I have chosen this as todays quote from Voile Corine –

 “Count Your Good Deeds Every Morning And Fill Your Mind With Positive Thoughts. That Is Secret To Being Happy And Inspired All Day Long”

Motivational Monday Quote #3

This is the first March Monday for 2014, I’ve had a great weekend on some levels but this weekend we found out my 11 year old dog isn’t too well which isn’t great news but he’s on the mend for the moment!

On a brighter note this morning I have woken revitalised and ready for the week ahead!

I have Friday off work so I have that to look forward too, as I said in a previous Motivational Monday its good to have your mind focused on a day off or something you’re going to be doing exciting at the weekend to get you through the week!

My week will consist of several meetings, and a day in Surrey on Thursday for user groups! I wouldn’t normally mind but I haven’t got a car at the moment so I’m having to use dreaded public transport!

This week’s quote is from Mahatma Gandhi –

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.”

Non – Stop MOVIE REVIEW

I had been looking forward to seeing this film ever since I saw the 1st trailer for it a few months ago!! 

I’m quite funny with trailers as I don’t like to see a lot of the film before going to the actual feature!!

Quick synopsis of the film for you - Liam Neeson’s character Bill plays an American air marshal who springs into action during a transatlantic flight! After receiving text messages that put all passengers including Downton Abbeys Michelle Dockery who plays flight attendant Nancy at risk unless the airline transfers $150 million into an off-shore account.

A few other familiar faces appear in this smash hit of a movie including “10 Years a Slave” star Lupita Nyong'o as cabin crew and Julianne Moore as a passenger.

Please be warned if you are not a fan of flying, please do NOT go and see this film as it may put you off for life! Luckily enough I don’t mind the turbulence on board a flight so I rather enjoyed the superb special effects and horror.

I think as long as Neeson is in a film, you know it’s going to be superb! I mean come on he’s been in some of my favourite films! Taken, Taken 2, Unknown, Schindlers List, Love Actually, Star Wars! The list goes on!!

The whole 1 hour 46 minute film minus around 10 minutes is set in on the plane which I thought to begin with would get boring but let me assure it, it really doesn’t! I highly recommend you see this film!

Let me know what you think! Also if you can I suggest you see with movie in D-Box.

Jonathan Creek

Not sure I have told you of my obsession for Jonathan Creek? Is it just me or does anyone else love the show!

I have been watching it for years, and it never gets old! I can watch them 1 after another and they never get old.

Jonathan who is played by Alan Davies is an illusionist creator with a keen eye for mystery and investigation! 

The show originally started in 1997 with Alan Davies as Jonathan Creek and Caroline Quentin as investigative journalist Maddie Magellen which was Creeks sidekick! Quentin left in 2000 and was replaced by Julia Sawalha as theatrical agent Carla Borrego until 2004.

Sheridan Smith then took on the role as Creeks sidekick playing Joey Ross from 2009-2012. And most recently Jonathan Creek has returned to our screens this year with Sarah Alexander as his wife and sidekick Polly Creek.

My favourite pairing has to be Davies and Quentin, they have done the most episodes and the relationship on screen was hysterically funny and awkward which was great to watch. The old episodes are still available on Netlix here in the UK so its really worth the £5.99 a month subscription!

I have every episode released to DVD, and there is nothing more I enjoy than sitting at home and having a Creek day/evening! Easy watching and really does test your mind.

Jonathan Creek is shown on BBC1 and you can catch the most recent brand new episode on the BBCi player CLICK HERE to watch it.

Comment and let me know what your favourite Creek episode is!
