TV Show of the Week
I am hooked on Bravo TV’s new show “Million Dollar Decorators” showing on Tuesdays at 10.00 pm. It features interior designers to the rich and famous who initially appear quite posh and pompous…well they are, but it becomes addictive viewing. If you are a fan of the interior design process or just love seeing fabulous homes then tune in!
Movie of the Week
We are very excited in our household about the release of ‘Cars 2’; it will be my son’s first trip to the movie theater, wish us luck! Lightning McQueen & lovable Mater head overseas to World Grand Prix but find themselves involved in a top-secret mission orchestrated by British super spy Finn McMissile (Michael Caine).
