My Life's Ingredients

Nice afternoon out with my sis, nephew and DH. My mum wasn't feeling too well (pre-OP jitters) and decided to stay home. So we went to the "Rhein-Main Therme" which I am growing more and more fond of. Of course it cannot compete with the "Taunus Therme" in Bad Homburg (totally different feel to it), but hey, it is just around the corner from my mum's flat and for young kids it's fab! And the sauna area is not too bad either. I checked with the staff whether I am allowed to take photos of family members whilst swimming, and they said as long as I don't take pictures of anyone else that's fine - HAH! So much better than in the UK!! We had so much fun - and I didn't even have the chance to read my book as we were all busy swimming in the "wild water canal", going down the flumes, watching Ciaran jumping off the 1 meter board, being in the wave pool and enjoying a cuppa and a piece of cake. ;) LOTS of fun - and it was great ...

Ok - suppose we HAD to see the movie "Ghost Rider", considering it's a comic book adaptation (from the worst ever comic book Doug said!) ... and I have to say it's SOOOO BAAAAD it's GOOD! :) So many times I have been sitting there, smirking at the script etc. Nawh, what a baaaad thing!! But suppose, whoever wants to see it, go for it ... you probably have to see it for yourself!! :D The script is quite mixed up, there is a lot in there (e.g. the scene at the Saloon where the Hell's Angels went in) that could have been cut really. VERY GOOD SPECIAL EFFECTS, but it was very quick for Nicolas Cage to get used to the fact that he turns into a skeleton during nights that is on fire. Hohum!! And being the devil's bounty hunter and the going against him... weird. All in all ... didn't like the script, and was trying to keep a straight face most of the times ... which is not a good sign, unless it was meant to be a funny comedy movie!!! Next week it's ...
