Pirates of the Caribbean

To the flicks this week to see Pirates of the Caribbean 3 which was a cracking hoot. Our local cinema costs £3.50 on a Tuesday night so with two tickets and a shared bag of Revels, it was a good night out for under a tenner. I thought it was funny when I suggested we sit in Row R, argh but no one else laughed.

Karen and I thought that Mr Rush was excellent again as Barbosa. I've been doing impressions of him at work but the philistines don't appreciate it. We really enjoyed the film - just a damn good romp. We even liked the slightly problematic ending, i.e. Will and Elizabeth can only get together every ten years. Another four visits and he'll have to collect her pension for her.

I'd quite like to see it having seen the other two, in spite of the less than glowing reviews. Will probably wait for it to come out on DVD though. Johnny Depp is a truly wonderful actor, sooo versatile. I loved him in a film he did with John Waters years back, called "Cry Baby" - in which he played a motorcycle riding "Drape" - very handsome!

The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
