Saturday Morning Cinema - Sun Valley Serenade

Along with the books I ordered this week came this little beauty...

I must admit, I only bought it because it had the Glenn Miller Orchestra in it, but this baby has everything!  Love, giggles, ice skating, fabulous ski suits...  I put it on when I got in from work last night (working until 9 on a Friday evening... cue the violins?) and it was the perfect vintage fluff to head off to bed with.

I was going to put a clip of my favourite scene, but it turns out it's the finale so I don't want to give it away!  Have this instead :)

They look like they're having so much fun! How did those trombone players not knock each other out?

Right, I'm off to pack for a night away in the country.  Toodle pip!

V is for Victory

About 15 minutes ago I wrote the final words of my final assignment for the first year of my masters.  Words can't actually express how utterly relieved and totally exhausted I am.


Of course, I still need to wait to find out whether I passed them all :)


So, to celebrate, here's a tribute to some of the songs that have got me through this insanity.  I'd like to thank the people that wrote them, along with my coffee machine, my housemates for their erratic but most welcome support (read: beers and scoldings) and my bicycle Meg for stress relieving zooms around town.



I love this version of In The Mood, it's my dancing round the kitchen soundtrack!



Louis. All you need to say <3



Probably one of my favourite pieces of music. Marginally beaten by:



Just perfection. And, of course, featured in Brief Encounter, one of my favourite films!


Hope you enjoy, I'm off for a good night's sleep...
Love Jen xxxx
