Friday Funday!

Friday was a fun day and it also followed a fun Thursday night where I met up with my bestie Alice where we toasted our missing gang member Amy of Dublinia blog fame.
After wings in Elephant & Castle we then went on to the Omniplex in Rathmines and watched, as part of the "Bring it Back" series, my favourite film.....yes you guessed it....."A Star is Born" (which I may or may not have seen in the cinema a total of 4 times!).
Alice had never seen the film, and safe to say, she LOVED it!! But I do hope she was able to drive home safely and was not too teary eyed ;-)  
Friday was my day off so my mother called over and helped me clear out my wardrobe. 3 big black bags (these will go to St Vincents shop in Rathmines) later we were ready for brunch!!
I had made a booking at Layla's in The Devlin Hotel which is a short stroll away.
It was my mam's first time in The Devlin and she really liked it. I've been a few times and generally order a steak but on this occasion I ordered mussels - which were amazing!!

And then it was nearly 3pm......wow time flies when you are having fun!  And it was time for me to pick up Bones from the groomer where he had spent the day.
An awesome day in all, and made up for having to work today!

A Star is Born - 3rd times a charm!

Ooops, I did it again.  And again!

Within the space of 3 weekends I saw Lady Gaga's new movie "A Star is Born" three times. I loved it when I saw it first and I can honestly say I love it even more after seeing it for the third time.

Lady Gaga is electric when she makes her appearance on Jackson Maine's stage and Bradley Cooper is brilliantly believable as hard drinking Jack Maine in the twilight of his career.
The story is is a beautiful love story (this is the 4th retelling with Kris Kristofferson and Barbara Streisand in the 1970's version) - but bring tissues!

The main thing about this film that I loved was the music. Most of it was written for the movie and if it doesn't win an Oscar for best music I will be even more annoyed than when La La Land didn't win best picture.....but best not mention this as I still feel for the La La Land crew on this one.

So obviously I highly recommend this film but I say don't go once, plan to go 2 or 3 times to really enjoy the experience!
