TV Couch Nights

I really need to get out more.

But...a night in with one's favourite characters & movies certainly has its charm.
Perhaps that's why we keep returning to watch the same shows, read the same books by the same author, listen to the same music. There's a level of comfort; we almost make friends of such in-house delights!

....That said, however, a picnic, outing or dinner party with friends takes the ribbon. Where one can debate subjects, talk rubbish over good food and wine, share stories, and generally relax. That's why I love the friendship club in the Hugh Grant movie "NOTTING HILL." It's so....groovey, as Spike would say. Two favourite scenes: The part where the sister announces her engagement at the dinner table and then whispers to her companion (the lovable, slighty Odd fellow Spike), "by the way...it's you. What do you think?" And Spike replies with a smile..."yeah...groovey." And, of course, the fight for the last brownie with everyone delivering their best sad story, bad job, bad love affair, whatever - yes, this is true friendship! Always there for one another, through good and bad - a merry crowd to lift the spirit and support the soul :-)

So Cheers to Notting Hill Clubs everywhere!
