Sliding doors

With the rain pouring yesterday morning I ended up watching Sliding doors. A film that I used to watch over and over again, but now I don't think I had seen it in three or four years or probably even more. I actually stooped watching it because I ended up bawling like a baby every time.

First because everything is so perfect and romantic and then in the end because it's so sad and not fair what happens. It also made me miss my dear friend Jo and our adventures in London immensely. Jo has lived in Oz for four or five years now and I have made new memoires in London. But regardless of that I cried again watching the film. Silly me.

Again John Hannah's character makes you wonder where men like that comes from. That's sooo my sort of man. Add a bit of Scottish accent and I'm smitten. One thing I didn't like this time though was Gwyneth Paltrow's British accent. That was not British English, that was an American thinking she spoke Queen's English but she didn't.

Anyhow I had a good girlie cry, the rain had stopped when the film was over and I had just remembered a great quote:
James: Cheer up. Remember what the Monty Python boys say.
Helen: "Always look on the bright side of life"?
James: No, "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition."
