20181207 – Friday – Verity’s

20181207 – Friday – Verity’s 

Today was a bright sunny day, rather hot, but still nice and I woke up feeling restless and not wanting to do the “usual” things. 

I felt like a break, like going for a drive, but I like to have a “destination” to go to, rather than just drive off anywhere.

So I mentally paged through my list of contacts. After due process I came up with Verity’s name and texted her. 

The answers was “yes” and so I headed up the freeway in the direction of Balhannah. 

I arrived and was soon in Verity’s house and enjoying brunch with her.

I had taken my meal with me because eating “differently” to most people these days, it is the easiest way to go.

After chatting for a while and catching up on all that has happened since I last saw her, which must have been before I went travelling up the east coast of Australia in March of this year, Verity got out her ironing.

I made myself comfortable on the lounge and Verity ironed away.

When her ironing was finished she then took out the SOX BOX, and she began the job of trying to find pairs for the motley Sox in the Box.

This is an impossible job which “housewives” attempt on occasion.

Verity was no more successful than anyone else at this task.

BUT she took it to the next stage of requesting two of her children to go to their rooms and search under the bed and under the blankets at the bottom of their beds and search for any ERRANT Sox that were not in the Box.

Verity tells me that if pairs are not found within 3 months, then she will eventually throw the unpaired Sox in the Box OUT. 

But, frankly I don’t believe her! I know I never could. There were ALWAYS unpaired Sox in my Box.

And any frugal housewife knows that you MAY find the occasional pair to to Sox in the Box.

So around about 2 pm, I left Verity’s and headed further up the freeway to Mt Barker.

I decided I would go to Auchendorich  house to the movies. Since I had been so slack for the first part of the day, I might just as well be slack for the second part of the day!

Well, I have and expectation of a film with the label of “Robin Hood” which was the film Ichose to see.

I expect there to be men in Green with bows and arrows in hand, and a Greenwood Forrest with lots of beautiful trees, and Robbing from the Rich and giving to the poor, and a beautiful Maid Marion, and a Handsome Robin Hood and a fat Friar Tuck and a Will whatshisname.

Well, think again.

It was full of war with scenes like the war in Afghanistan with men in battle fatigues and carrying sten guns, or whatever they are called.

There were slaves working in the Mines, and I don’t remember there being ANY mines in the Greenwood forests of yore.

And there were chariot races I’m sure, straight out of Ben Hur, and all sorts of other extraneous War movies all rolled up into one.

I HATED it!!

I looked in vain for the greenwood trees, and lots of romance. 

You can tell that most films are made by MEN.

It is plain that it is STILL a man’s world when they can so RUIN the legends and tales of yesteryear.

Have you ever looked at NETFLIX? 

Well, it is a waste of good money. 

Almost Every film is macho. 

Full of blasphemous language and VIOLENCE, extreme violence.

I spend more time LOOKING for a suitable film to watch than I do WATCHING.

Why do I even bother??

Why? Because there are always those times when I want to veg out and would LOVE to watch a romantic movie.

I think the world has gone mad! Utterly mad, when I can’t even watch a NICE movie. A movie like Robin Hood SHOULD have been.
