BIKES TWO WEEKS BY BOAT


These travelers from europe say that they put their bikes on a ship and flew here the bikes took two weeks. Another couple from Holland said they got a speeding ticket and the police said they will not come to Holland to collect. My advice is to pay it immediately or file a dispute immediately( to get your day in court) and to avoid the possibility of a bench warrant. You can do that at any government agent office in any community in BC; do not pay the police.

Film review:
The world of social conflict it seems was played out in real-time lives. It is to us of this generation to be enlightened , entertained , tortured , and treated to the moral imperative of every scenario one could imagine in this film. This however is a good film for a conflict arises when a middle age women is elevated from the down and out, and in to  the position of responsibility  of social secretary to a young socialite entertainer. She among other exploits  is entertaining no less than four  betrothed. The bag ladies wit and warmth left over from better times becomes a timely referee to a complicated social setting.
The London England pre WW 2 night club affair is just the thing to get Mis Petttigrew on with her life for a day. Having been hungry ,she is ready for a humourous scene  as a planned make over for her new position involves a facial mud pack complete with cucumbers slices over her eyes , the green vegetables are eaten with glee and the make over continues.
The  position of social secretary is so well done that Miss Petttigrew solves all her benefactors difficulties in one day.,and packs her off to New York by steam ship. This with her  choice  made  among her suitors. This then ends the employment and puts Miss Pettigrew in to the train station, vagrant,  once again and eyeing half eaten fruit on the floor, for sustenance. This is redeemed in a fashion that you will have to see the film to enjoy fully.
The film has had many excellent reviews, from many great publications and is consistent in its presentation of moral imperatives twisted into dry witted comedy. There is no herk or jerk to this film just plain good fun and enjoyable from start to finish.
Irony and upset bringing together a beneficial and fitting end to convoluted situations reminds us that it is the choices we make in life that keep our life going on a keel. Any choice is better than balancing opportunities in such a way as not to be able to fully exploit any of them.
For pure comical entertainment in a dry witty enjoyable format this film rates :
✰✰✰✰ Good

Art and lifestyle showing

This showing of art and lifestyle chronicles  an interesting life of a women, that came to Canada from Holland at 19 years of age.  She has hosted an optimistic life after coming 6 months after War Bride privileges expired in Canada to join her Husband a WW II veteran she met in Europe. One of her life choices was to not compete in the 1948 Olympics that she had qualified for and to choose  a  more private lifestyle here in Canada with her future husband Norm.

Her choice’s further included wisdom to over come the past as a child viewing mass  reprisal executions in her village by occupation forces. The woman is a great example of overcoming and mitigating the petty things that often escalate to the  unattractive and sometimes cruel; in this life sometimes covered by a thin veneer of prosperity.

Her showing at the Court House Gallery here in Merritt BC , Canada kicks off with an evening reception on the ninth of July.  The showing will run weekends through July.

Rates : For perspective and understanding of positive projection: ***** excellent.
