#90 – Persevering..

#90 - eddie the eagle

We saw Eddie the Eagle today – after much planning, to-ing and fro-ing as has become the norm with us – as did a couple of people I know from work and church.. Cue a few awkward silences and dodgy moments where I wondered how much information to share as part of the customary introductions, given one of the work guys is the head honcho and this fluid undefined phase we are in… 

As for the movie, it was good, the substantially modified version on display doing enough to sell itself as a tale of triumph against all odds and redemption. I suspect it is one I might watch again, once it is out on iTunes or on DVD.. To the underdog then!!! .

#81 – Winning

#80- Magpie Tales

For Mag 309:

In the set of her shoulders
and the glint in her eye-
is the quiet reassurance
of certitude; and of knowing.

That as certain as after day comes night,
And with the wind comes chill,
She wins…

In the end.
