In between kitchen cupboard cleaning and organising
I went to the cinema to see The Roads Not Taken .
The beautiful Selma Hayek
A day in the life of Leo ( Javier Bardem) a Mexican author suffering from a dementia like mental illness , isn’t an easy watch.
As Leo is taken to routine visits to the dentist and optometrist by his daughter Molly ( Ellie Fanning) we glimpse two former periods of his life, which are either muddled and sporadic memories or present day hallucinations and the film is a relentless study of a mind fragmented and a psychi blunted
Don’t go and see it if you are at a low ebb.....
Bardem who is usually so animated and watchable in his movies captures that faraway vagueness of dementia quite brilliantly and Selma Hayek is worth watching too in a smallish but vital role as his grief stricken first wife
Hummmm yes depressing stuff
So on a brighter note,
When I was out walking the younger dogs Winnie broke into a full shopping bag without breaking a dozen eggs and managed quite deftly to break open a container of 70 cocktail sausages ( 2 weeks treats ) and ate the lot
She remains unrepentant and rather flatulent after my return home
The cottage smells of pork
I love Winnie. Sarah xx
ReplyDelete70! SEVENTY!! I’m horrified! Has she been sick? Not on your new couch ! That old girl is a rascal!
ReplyDeleteSick after too much food? Winnie.? NEVER
DeleteHa hhhhaaaaaaaaaaa! Winnie I love you.
ReplyDeleteI admit , she’s a class act
DeleteShe even hid the packet under the table
She looks quite satisfied with herself!
ReplyDeleteStuffed to the gunnels
DeleteClassic post.
ReplyDeleteHahaha. Oh dear, Winnie. Elsie loves the cocktail sausages as well. There's not much she won't do for a sausage.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like rather depressing film, a bit like Biutiful that he was in, that left me feeling very low.
ReplyDeleteShame about the sausages, I bet you didn’t really want them anyway:)
They are always the dogs treat, but the pack usually lasts about two weeks
Delete70? You go girl!
ReplyDeleteShe did
DeleteI bet she had the Mission Impossible theme tune playing as she did the evil deed.
ReplyDeleteShe actually hid the wrapper afterwards
DeleteI bet she had the Mission Impossible theme tune playing as she did the evil deed.
ReplyDeleteShe did
DeleteI bet she had the Mission Impossible theme tune playing as she did the evil deed.
ReplyDeleteI said she did lol
DeleteWe LOVE her!
ReplyDeleteThe old dog has a few tricks yet x
DeleteI'm surprised she hasn't got them coming out of her ears!
ReplyDeleteOut of her arse very soon
DeleteShe looks quite pleased with herself.
ReplyDeleteStrangely after I read this comment she belched very loudly
DeleteHaha! I love Winnie. She's got a mind of her own...and why shouldn't she? She's a mature woman-dog!
ReplyDeleteShe’s all woman......respect
DeleteHail to the queen
Jennifer would you have one?
DeleteHow old is she, John?
ReplyDeleteAbout 12 which is very old for a bulldog
DeleteShe’s on borrowed time
Oh Winnie! John, did you open the windows and doors to get much needed ventilation? Am glad the eggs didn't break.
ReplyDeleteHugs!
No it’s cold
DeleteNow there’s an eggy smell
Good for Winnie! In the last year of my old cat's life I gladly let him do whatever he enjoyed . You are so kindly indulgent with Winnie, good for you. - Mary
ReplyDeleteShe was only earmarked for 3 tonight not 70
DeleteAll hail to The Queen !
ReplyDeleteThe queen on Tonga rules
DeleteYou went to the cinema? You're a brave man!
ReplyDeleteI went yesterday too Tom, I need the fix ..to be fair I was the only one in today
DeleteDogs are cunning when it comes to food. A friend had two lurchers; once, when she was out they stole a box of 6 eggs from the worktop. On her return she found two egg shells in each of their beds, and one unbroken egg each, carefully hidden in their blankets. At least they were fair!
ReplyDeleteOh Winnie! She is quite a girl! She looks exhausted (or satisfied?) in that picture.
ReplyDeleteShe was tired
Deletethat would have killed my dogs. however, chow chows would never break into anything. they don't go after food that way. winnie has the perfect " i just ate 70 sausages" look.
ReplyDeleteWinnie looks quite satisfied. 70 sausages is quite the accomplishment. Nobody can say Winnie is not stealthy. She knows what she wants and she clearly accomplished her goal.
ReplyDeleteHaha
ReplyDeleteBad doggie! Lmaoooo
And I read cupboard cleaning and orgasming. This pandemic is getting to me.
Ha!
XoXo
Funny x
DeleteWinnie does appear to look rather pleased with herself dear. At least the farts will be entertaining. Or not.
ReplyDeleteThey arnt
DeleteOh Winnie. Sausage Heaven for you, old girl. Baby Mo broke into the kitchen cupboard twice!! and stole stinky pepperoni dog sausage treats, intended only for very special occasions. You kids know where the good stuff is, don't you!
ReplyDeletePS Maybe you should take up that new Ikea rug for a few days?
ReplyDeleteLittle rascal-would it be about 10 normal sausages? which is still a lot but hopefully she will be ok.2 of mine are leggy which is a constant worry of mine x
ReplyDeleteOh, guilt.
ReplyDeleteWe've recently found claw marks on Billy's big bags of biscuits. We're not sure who the culprit is, but I suspect it's one of his visiting friends. Naughty boys.
ReplyDeleteWith Winnie it's always 'ME, ME, ME'. Reminds me of someone else with not half the good looks as she has.
ReplyDeleteHer photograph here says 'The Dowager Duchess' to me - you can either call her greedy or 'what a clever girl for being able to detect, get at and eat the lot.'
ReplyDeleteAt least you have the eggs.
ReplyDeleteSmarter than the avarage human , this gave me a laugh this morning .
ReplyDeleteI would love to see that film. It was reviewed on BBC World News. Rather than eating noisy popcorn I would chomp down six dozen cocktail sausages and end up looking like Winnie.
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious.
ReplyDeleteI’m worried for the other dogs who have missed out on their cocktail sausage treats ! Can you buy another box ? There are no flies on Winnie ...... I bet she can sniff out a cocktail sausage from miles away !!!! XXXX
ReplyDeleteOMG Winnie Rules!! My first (and probably only) laugh of the day. Thank you, John xx
ReplyDeleteI will pass on that film. Winnie has still got it!
ReplyDeleteI bet she was in absolute heaven :-)
ReplyDeleteOh dear..but what a satisfied expression!
ReplyDeleteDementia is my worst fear as I grow older. Some days, like today, I feel my age. Then again perhaps it is because I did not get to bed till after three.
ReplyDeleteI hope that isn’t her last supper, but if it is, she enjoyed herself.
ReplyDeleteOh my Winnie . . .
ReplyDeleteThis might take a few days recovery!
Oh Winnie darling, you do make me laugh. x
ReplyDeleteThank you for my laugh today. I need a distraction from this daily diet of political tomfoolery. I think a flatulent dog just might do the trick. Cheers from my dying democracy.
