Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Hollywood has nothing on Hobart!!!! We now have our first Star, commemorating Errol Flynn, who was born right here in Hobart in 1909. They are very proud of the swashbuckling hero who was well known for his swordfights and womanising. Yesterday would have been his 100th birthday and the plaque was unveiled by his daughter Rory and grandson Sean.

The Star is right outside our favourite cinema, The State, in North Hobart where we went today to see the latest Michael Caine film "Is Anybody There?" It was a great film, and I would thoroughly recommend it. It just goes to show that the Brits still make the best films, there was nothing fancy about this film, it was very thought provoking and beside Caine, there were a few old familiar faces like Lesley Philips and Sheila Sims. Funny in parts, sad in others, I had to keep Ken under control as he has a habit of laughing out loud and when you are in a cinema with a maximum of twenty very comfortable seats, it is like sitting in your own loungeroom, this can be very embarrassing.
