I loved the movie thanks tryingtodecorate. I had a wonderful afternoon. DH & Mr16 were busy so I had the family room all to myself. So I sat here and watched the movie whilst designing a kitchen for a client. It was chic flick, decorating bliss.
When we went to Belgium one of the first words I learned was horse meat. What a revolting thought. We have seen some weird things on menus - you need to be so careful. These days though we can sit in a restaurant & google the words.
We had a similar experience in Italy to your tablecloth story -we were sitting in the courtyard of a little cafe and a young mother and her 3 year old daughter sat down. The 3 year old was smitten with Mr14 & convinced him to toss pebbles into the pond in the courtyard. Then the mother tried to talk to us. 24 hours later I worked out she wasn't asking about the toilets but what did I do for work. The word for work in Italian is lavoro- sounded like lavatory to me lol.

I might have to get another movie out this weekend

I'm having a chuckle about the Italian story Julie-Ann. I love the Italian language and we've had some wonderful holidays over there. I wonder what the woman thought after she left you? Discussing toilets!

Your afternoon sounded lovely. Can't beat a good movie and having the room to yourself! Glad you enjoyed it.

I treated myself to some R&R today. I've done enough cooking and cleaning and running around after everyone all week. I watched The Holiday with Kate Winslet and Cameron Diaz. Haven't watched it for ages. I've always loved the little English Cottage but today took more notice of the LA house. Lovely
