Bonnie is feeling so much better. She continued to have nausea on Thursday, then her symptoms subsided altogether on Friday. She is worried that it could all come back but we told her to just live her life as usual. So, she went on a planned road trip to Washinton, DC with 3 friends. She got there last night and called to let me know (though I hadn't asked her to; I DO appreciate it...). So now, we just wait and see.
Adam, on the other hand, wanted to go down to see my friend, Judith, in Wiltshire but he had to first wait to speak to an advisor, and then his ear started going wanky on him. Now, he has to wait till Tuesday when he will see a doctor (God bless the British medical system, we don't have to pay those exorbitant American medical rates!) He is still hoping to get down to Judith's next week. Her daughter, Sarah, is his age and she goes to University of Reading, not too far away. He is hoping she will take a couple of days and hang out with him. He is off school till February 9th. St. Andrew's has the weirdest schedule...
John and I have just been hanging around today, doing pretty much nothing. We are going to see "A Very Long Engagement" with Audrey Tatou, tonight. He doesn't really want to see it, but I have been begging for weeks and tonight is the night. Hope it's good, so I don't have to hear his disappointment....
Sooooo glad to hear Bonnie is better! I can empathize with the frustration and fear of not knowing what's wrong.

You know, I've wanted to see this movie but now that I know about the violent stuff, I'm not so sure if I can sit through it. It might hurt my heart, so to speak.
Glad to hear Bonnie is feeling better but bummer for Adam.

Hmm, hard to tell from these reviews whether I should make a point of seeing this or not. i surely don't like violence . . .

Yes, that would explain why Ashley was so disturbed by it. She doesn't like violence at all.

I did see 'Amelie' and loved it...
This movie had a little too much in-your-face-violence-of-war for me. And it really upset John. Ever since the Iraq War started, he has been much more sensitive on the subject. His Vietnam experience now feels closer than it ever has, apparently. Had I known that there was this much graphic violence, I wouldn't have seen it.
I did like the love story; it was well done. But it seemed overshadowed, at times, by the other.

Our older girl loved the movie, although she said it was quite depressing. We both love Audrey Tatou--have you seen Amelie?
