We are trying the business of keeping all eating with a single eight hour period. For us, it is 9:30 to 5:30. We don't want to eat before 9:30, which is two hours later than we are used to. We don't want to eat after 5:30, which is maybe 15 minutes early for us. We have found statements that such a schedule has not proved very helpful for weight loss, but we are trying it anyway.
This schedule does get us attending to the time and to our food and that is good. We have time in parts of the day that are new for us. Last night, we were finished with dinner and the dishes earlier than usual and it was a good time for a movie. Many productions are too long to fit our time. There have been times when we stopped halfway through and began at that point the next night.
Emails and ads from Netflix have touted the popularity of their movie "Rebecca" and we watched it. Lynn read the book by Daphne de Maurier as a young teen and she wanted to know if the movie was the same story. Basically, it is. I have heard of this book and author my whole life, but I didn't know the story or the book. Rich elderly somewhat decrepit woman has a young woman as her assistant/aide. They stay at a very high level hotel, probably in the south of France. It is a wonderful, somewhat staid place. Young assistant doll meets handsome, rich, attractive widower. They start taking auto rides in his magnificent car. They fall in love. He proposes. It's like totally grand - what's not to like?
Beware! His "house" is too big, too dark, the head of house staff is far too brusk, nasty and cold. We are rooting for Sweetie, but it doesn't look good nor welcoming nor especially safe. The harder she tries, the worse things get. Do you see where sex and love and wealth and high social class can lead? Yike!
