2025 is turning into a poor year for losing our Greats and on the 11th the great Diane Keaton passed.  Her films were varied but she shone in all of them, my favourites being “The First Wives Club” which also stared the late great Dame Maggie Smith.  “Father of the Bride” and of course “Annie Hall”.  

Last week and the weekend were hectic as always with work, home jobs etc.  At the weekend DH had a swimming event on Friday evening and then all day Sunday with set up on Saturday night!  We did manage to get a few jobs done around it but I did get a little bit of sorting out done in  the sewing room and some reading too.

This week is very much trying to get all the jobs sorted out including work, Eldest’s work, home jobs etc before next Tuesday.   Everyone I know seems to have a bad cold/flu at the moment including jayne, who has cancelled our luncheon tomorrow.  I am actively staying away from everyone at the moment in the hope that I will not catch anything before Tuesday and my Op.

DH managed to get our lawn mown over the weekend and picked up a lot of the leaves which have come down in the last week.  Mind you no sooner had he put the mower away the lawn was covered again in leaves!  It is one of those never ending jobs until all the leaves have come off the trees!  The weather is getting cooler here and although we have seen the sun a few days it has also been quite dark and misty too.  In fact the other morning it was foggy again!

This coming weekend Friday morning DH and I are going out for breakfast and then I have to drop my car with Eldest who is going to use it while I am out of action as he needs to do a repair on his and it will save him having to rush it.  Then Friday evening DH is setting up the swimming event again for both days this weekend and whilst he is there I will be in the sewing room getting a few jobs done.  Monday will be a day of ensuring everything is done before I have to be at the hospital at 6.30am on Tuesday!

This is now out on Amazon Prime Premier and I have watched it again and I just love it, it really is a great series and with the wonderful Dame Maggie Smith, she really does have the best lines of all.  

Have a wonderful week, you lovely lot. 

Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx

    It is sad that Diane Keaton is gone she was one of my favorite actresses. Dame Maggie Smith was another one of my favorites. I totally agree either way you that she had the best lines in Dowmton Abbey. I hope all goes well with your operation and that you heal quickly.

    I love Father of the Bride -#1 and #2. Diane Keaton was wonderful in any movie she ever made. She will be missed. We are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, Susie, and hoping that your operation goes well.
