SMALL THINGS in LIFE

I am not sure if it is cooler weather or me getting older (can't be) but whatever it is

when fall comes around its feels like it is time to bring out the candles, grab the cozy blankets ,

bake apple pies and watch movies. All of these things I love. Movies especially.

I love to follow the film festivals and see what is new .

Small Things

Last weekend was one of those , (after the museum visits). Foreign films have always interested me.(though it was not so easy to find them ) This year at the Cannes film festival the films screened included those directed by Tarantino(once upon a time in hollywood), Pedro Almodovar , Boon Joon-hu and many others. So I am curious to check them out when in theatres.

Meanwhile I found one film by Almodovar that sounded interesting and is based on the Canadian author Alice Munro. The film is called Julieta- a film that takes you on the journey of the life of a young woman, wife and mother and reflecting back to earlier years. It is a romantic drama that makes one feel for her pain, love and longing ... a very touching movie. The director made a wonderful film from Munros book. I actually like Almodovar films , he is like the spanish version of Woody allen films. Perhaps with more emotion and feelings, and depth of the characters. I can say its a good film to watch. I have seen a few of his other films - All about My mother; Volver , so Julieta is another one I can recommend.

The other one I found really interesting was a German film called Run Lola Run. Its not new but seems like it could be. The plot is about a girl and her boyfriend and how things can happen in the

most unexpected ways. It is a very unusual film that shows parts with animation , but in a funny way.

Lola is out to save her boyfriend from disaster and the outcome. A very cute artsy film.

Both might be in english or subtitled. So if you are keen to

see some foreign films they might interest you.

These films are not your die hard or star wars type with all the flash and action ,

but more films of human beings daily life and relationships.

So I hope you enjoy!

Flying high // travel

B Time to Fly Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience. So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada . And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines. I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned and I won’t be booking any trips with them! Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs that should be included , NOT an extra expense. Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees then read this report via BBC. Truthfully people need to tell these companies NO . Even a handbag is next to the list. They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

Sunny Days Eyewear//fashion , designer eyewear

T HE RIGHT ONEs Summer and the sun is something we all look forward to. Getting outside enjoying the sunshine but most important is to to protect your eyes! I have been looking for a new pair of sunglasses. Thinking I might get a pair of design ones, Chanel , Gucci ?? Well more importantly is to get a pair with a higher UV number . Apparently there is no difference from a designer pair or a pair from any shop . Other than the price.style or quality. Looking at and trying sunglasses checking fit is important . The style look and what suits you are all things to consider . The UV protection is what really matters also something I didn’t know was the side part of thin matters also. Why? If to thin UV rays can enter and effect your eyes. So the sides of sun glasse is something else to consider . Enjoy the sunshine ☀️
