Last night we watched, “Men with Brooms” – a kind of “Brassed Off” meets Nova Scotia comedy about 4 members of a curling team whose coach dies and leaves a legacy that they put his ashes in a curling stone and win the golden broom award for the town. Traditional levels of romance, intrigue and moral values. Good Sunday evening stuff. On Saturday night we watched “Spanglish”. I wasn’t really keen on doing that as I’ve heard it’s a bit of a heart-wrencher but actually found it brilliant without being too icky and very spot-on, having experienced living with families whose mother tongue and cultures are not my own – being involved, yet an observer at the same time.
Well, off to work, then time for a change of template I feel, to get rid of this problem I am experiencing!
