It's not really a thing here in the UK but there are some places now that do outdoor film screenings the latest being Bohemian Rhapsody with a tribute band too in the grounds of the castle where Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned. We had tickets but I couldn't go as I wasn't well :(<br />Hugs-x-Sheilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10528336306775217982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-20488127756751036142019-08-13T22:25:33.461-04:002019-08-13T22:25:33.461-04:00God, that pool liner looks like a hideous amount o...God, that pool liner looks like a hideous amount of work.

I got back as far as a bit before your birthday. I then decided to wait for your next post before commenting as I had been reading posts that were already past. Then there was a gap and I started to wonder where you had gone. It's good to have you back. I am enjoying your writing.<br /><br />That is an amazing job you have done on the swimming pool. I have never seen a drive through movie. I am not sure if we have ever had them here in England.
