Bobbie' s adventures

Jim and myself have decided to let bob outside, he went into the garden and around the bins, hope he comes back :) I was thinking of changing the blog to Bobbie' adventures as I don't watch as many films as I was and due to small reader numbers. What do you think ?

Bit of a quiet week with films but we did go and see Django Unchained , it was really bloody but it was really excellent especially Jamie Foxx. the soundtrack is awesome as well. I have finished watching house of cards , also been watching 1st series of vampire Diaries , I'm obsessed, think I prefer Damon to Stefan , think because my new boss is a Stefan and I have a ex boyfriend called that as well , nothing really new in the dolly household , except my WIFi was broken but that is a dull, I did my good deed for the week and have Jonny a TV for him to up cycle at his shop , think it may be cat related, TTFN for now

New Year - New Direction

Hello Dolly Fans. This is this week blog, I'm trying something a bit different and watch more modern telly and films , so this weekend as I was away in sunny Cambridge I watching Tangled ( with a 3 year old ) and also the kids are al right with Julianne Moore but I haven't watched the end, I have also been sorting my iBooks library out with some classics like pride and Prejudice and wuthering Heights, and have been watching a new series called House of Cards on my Netflix with Kevin Spacey. That is really good, and he talks to the camera( I like that)

So this should make me feel like I'm in the 2000's and not stuck in the 80's although I do love rock of ages and could watch it every week . I am going to make some jewels in the next week and speak to a new shop about stocking some pieces, wish me luck

Please tell me what you think of the blog

Bobbie News

Our kitty is called Bobby and he is extra special and very cute ....sorry got carried away

Jimbo my fiancé has asked me to watch a film out of my comfort zone this week so I watched The Usual Suspects . It was good especially like young Stephen Baldwin . Watch Bio Dome Actually Dont! I also watched Gnomeo and Juliet and Burlesque , love the latter adjust up my street with vintage corsets and pearls and diamonds. Love Christina Allegia - wrong spelling and Cher is brilliant plus Stanley Tucci and Alan Cummings , it's defo worth a watch .

This week we hopefully buy the ring and then think about setting a date for the wedding!!!!!!

I am off to Cambridge at the weekend so may not have access to the web so will try to update later in the week

Any hoo it's wine time . Here is a pic of Bobbie . Happy digging out of the snow ,

Engagement News

Hey Dolly fans, sorry I have not posted for a long time, this last month has been crazy, grandma has been poorly and me and Jim got engaged!!

I also been watching some old films but not 80's - lost boys excluded. I watched Dracula the Gary Oldham version / the best in my opinion and atonement which is more modern plus A dangerous Method so basically a Keira Knightley session , I haven't make much Jewellery lately, but now have Internet at home and New IPad so updating the blog will be better than popping down to Dad,s house , anyway films to watch this month are Dusk til Dawn ( firm favourite) and Mannequin and TED. Already watched Ted , really funny and rude especially the party with Sam Jones- love Flash Gordon lol .

Happy watching and see you next time !
