So last week , i have had some holiday from work (not that i have gone
anywhere) but it is always nice to have some time off and recharge. So this
week has literally been watching films/ catching up on TV programmes that i
have recorded but not yet had chance to watch.
So this week i have been able to watch Goodnight Mr Tom. An absolute
classic set in World War 2 where refugees from London are sent to the country
where air raids are least likely to happen. It tells the tale of a old man who
comes across as grumpy and bitter towards anyone. When the boy arrives he isn't
all to happy that the boy has been placed with him but eventually warms to the
boy. Mr Tom finally realises he cares for the boy, when William is asked to go
back to London as his mother was ill. Weeks past and not even a letter to Mr
Tom on how things are and grows really concerned of Williams welfare, so he
plucks up the courage to track the young lad down by travelling to London, only
to find something that shocks him to his very core. Luckily William goes back
with Mr Tom to his home where he receives love and care for the rest of his
life.
I find this film
to be very moving. How an old man opens up his home to a young refugee that needs
shelter from the air raids that was happening in London at the time and how he
eventually opens up his heart also and he admits that he loves the boy and
would very much like William to live with him from then on.
So this week i was
going to sort out my cupboards and throw anyway all the stuff i no longer need
as it is just clutter and taking up room which i need for other things. But i
never got round to it and now i have to find another time to do it, hopefully
before Christmas i will get round to it.
Today 14/12/18 i managed to
get all my Christmas shopping done in less than 2 hrs, which is an absolute
record for me. Luckily i have wrote everything down of what and where i will be
getting them. Made my life alot easier, as i suffer from anxiety i find
shopping in town especially this time of year very stressful and it triggers my
anxiety. But i survived. Well I'm off to wrap up these presents and get them
ready for delivery/Christmas day.
