good night

I am in bed with a laptop over my legs. This could be an excellent set up for a post filled with misspelling. I’ll try my best, though.

First, three important things about me:

- I don’t type;
- I talk too much;
- I have an absent mind.

Other things regarding me I will write about along the way. Today I want to describe my favorite time of the day. In fact, I’m living it right now in a slightly different way, but it is because I wanted to write about it, if not I would be only enjoying it.

The moment is after I have a shower and get in bed. I snuggle in, turn the television on, grab a book or a magazine, or even do some knitting, and watch movies. It is better when there is a good old movie on, preferably something from the 30s or 40s. I love old Hollywood movies! Yesterday I was delighted to see for the third time It Happened One Night, directed by Frank Capra in 1934, with Claudette Colbert and Clark Gable. Just wonderful! Today is Joan Crawford and Robert Taylor in When Ladies Meet, from 1941.

In my bed, cozy, watching these movies, I feel perfectly happy. That’s my recipe for an ideal ending for a day.
