Love Actually

Tonight was the night for a sloppy film whilst doing the ironing.  I love all the usual romantic British comedies and tonight was the turn for Love Actually.

I’ve got it on video which isn’t the best medium as our video player doesn’t always play nicely, but it’s just what I needed tonight.

I set up the ironing board and duly started on the pile.  It will actually take me about 10 romantic comedy films to get through the pile but thankfully in my hoard I have Notting Hill, Bridget Jones and You’ve Got Mail to start me off.

My husband came in to ask me if I’d like a cuppa and I duly told him, "yes, that would be lovely, but I’ve put a film on so I can have a good sob at it and would you mind not interrupting".  He smiled at me and then proceeded to watch some of it with me!

There are many things I love about the film, the scene in church when the newly weds turn around and the best man has organised the band and singers to perform ‘All You Need is Love’, the part when Hugh Grant dances to ‘Jump’ and I think Emma Thompson is just brilliant in her role especially when she realises her husband bought a necklace for someone else (a real tearjerker bit).

So I’ve had my fill of romance tonight, had my cuppa and did enough ironing to see us through tomorrow. 

The hard part is now deciding which film to have next in order to continue . . . . . oh decisions!
