It’s Saturday Morning Still!
I was up at 5 this morning and now it is almost noon. I have spent quite a lot of time watching Master and Commander. I have to say that I was most impressed.
I have read almost all of Patrick O’Brien’s Aubrey and Maturin books and this film was excellent. Yes, there was “blood and guts” which normally turn me off a movie but this was not gratuitous violence. Well, except for maybe the part where the British succeeded in boarding the French ship Acheron. I felt that went on a little too long although there were no places where I had to shut my eyes because it was all too much for me. And I loved the bit where he met the French “doctor” and discovered later who he really was! I had forgotten that.
I can’t really say I have got much done today so far. I got Fred some breakfast and filled up the bird feeders. The birds were amusing this morning. We have a small feeder on a long cord and as the birds fly on and off it, it spins like a carousel. I swear that they looked a little dizzy! Well, I certainly did just watching this thing spin round and round.
Fred is back in bed napping. When he gets up again, I am off to the grocery store! {Boo! Hiss!}
I had to go to the grocery store TWICE this morning (boo! boo! Hiss! Hiss!) I need to get some seed for my bird feeder. I miss my little birdies, even if all they are is sparrows.

My bird feeder swings around empty outside my window. I filled it once – away son did it for me actually – I think some ground corn/chicken feed might work till I get some real bird feed.

I have to shut my eyes AND cover my ears during violent parts of movies. Too much of it IS there just for the show; I’m glad your movie, though, was very satisfying! It will be wonderful when Fred feels well enough to be back to doing his things so you can let him do that grocery shopping again! Here’s wishing you a pleasant evening. hugs, Weesprite
