Shirley Valentine

Winter                                                                          Cold Moon

We’ve lost 33 degrees since noon.  Now 3, headed lower.

Just watched Shirley Valentine, a British coming of age movie featuring a 42 year old housewife whose friend wins a trip to Greece and invites her along.  It’s a bold move for her; she’s never left England.

On the island (Mykonos) she begins to enjoy just being Shirley Valentine.  She meets a Greek guy.  Eventually, not because of the guy, she decides to stay.  To live her life; her Shirley Valentine life, not her wife life or her mum life.

This is a funny movie, a sad movie, a hopeful movie.  Just right for a rapid temperature fall.
