I really wasn’t planning to post this at all, and nothing could be further removed from my recent highly genteel walk at Newstead Abbey, could it? One of the highlights of my Christmas was a trip to the cinema to see the new Star Wars movie, in the company of my husband and son. I loved it!
I had already been introduced to BB8 on Christmas morning, when this small but endearing creature was rocking and rolling around my kitchen floor. An unexpected present to my son. Brings out the child in all of us! Elegant though she may be, my daughter was always a Star Wars fan too, and I have fond memories of taking her to the cinema, all those years ago.
What triggered this post? Why Paula, of course! You know Thursday’s Special.
This is so funny! Why? Because my munchkin found the bottom part of that toy at the playground this weekend. I couldn’t figure out if it was a ball for a pet or a kid. When shaken there’s a rattling sound inside hence my confusion.
I’m not into star wars so this would have been in my house until my kid or dog figured out how to destroy it, with none of us knowing what it really was. To us it’s just a funny looking ball. Hahaha. Puzzle solved! 😀
Ooh don’t shake or it won’t talk to you x
Thanks 😊
Oh, very sweet – I want one. I loved the latest Star Wars film!
Me too 🙂
How serendipitous! 😀 That’s my favourite Star Wars character!
He was very sweet. Sadly he’s gone to live in my son’s flat in Leeds 😦
This rocking and rolling fellow, do it talk too.? 😀
It beeps a bit! But you have to speak the lingo 🙂
Cute fellow… 🙂
OMG I have droid envy! Want one. Just managed to see Star Wars this week and LOVED IT. The Captain thought it a bit repetitious but I found it grand. Made me feel like a kid again.
We sat there, the 3 of us, with big beams on our faces the whole way through the film. James almost stood up and cheered (and he’d already seen it before in 3D 🙂 )
#metoo 😀
I wouldn’t mind to have a personal robot to send for errands ( kind of drone, perhaps) beside cleaning the house and cooking…..
Up to now I only own a round object wich goes alone around the room and try to imitate a Hoover …..
Yours is formidable , cute and photogenic!
I don’t mind running the errands, Anna, but another cook in the household would be wonderful 🙂 He’s just a little bit small, though!
I haven’t seen the newest Star Wars movie yet. I flew in to our Christmas gathering place in another state only to find that my grandchildren and most of my children had already seen it. Maybe my sister will go with me later. I’m glad to hear you liked it.
It was a real treat for me, Nicki, because I never go to the cinema. It was my son’s second time of viewing and he enjoyed every second too 🙂
Hahaha, this robot looks awesome 🙂 and yes, it reminds me of the Star Wars!
I loved him in the movie. 🙂 What will the Disney stores come up with next? 🙂
Good morning, Jo. Your post made me thinking. We need one to shovel snow… 😉
Have a great day.
Nooo! Don’t mention that s-word 🙂 It appears to be coming!
So cute and useful or not if he makes you smile he is worth having around. Not seen THE movie yet, but now I am home it is top of the list…
He’s gone to live with my son in Leeds 😦
Prefect holiday for you, that’s so nice! Cute pic 🙂
Oops. perfect.
We had a good mix of entertaining and out and about, thanks 🙂
Haha so cute Jo. Sounds like you have had such a fun Christmas season.
It seemed to last forever, Sue, but now that my Polish family have gone it’s time to put everything back up in the loft. (but not BB8 🙂 )
