I don’t follow film stars at all but some have interesting backgrounds and interesting lives. We recently watched an Australian movie called How To Please A Woman. Most of it was shot in Fremantle with several of the actors being well-known West Australian born and/or trained. The leading role was taken by Sally Phillips, who stars in the series, Austin, that I wrote about recently. She also played Sharon (Shazza) in the Bridget Jones movies. Austin features a young adult who is on the autism spectrum. Sally has a Downs Syndrome child and is a patron of Bue Apple Theatre in Hampshire, UK. This theatre group specialises in creating performance work with adults with a learning disability.

I don't follow film stars either. But I like the fact that there is a group with a purpose.

I think it's good to show these sorts of shows. I feel I've learnt a lot from them really and have more empathy towards them now.

It strikes me so funny when I hear people talk about celebs as if they actually met them and knew them personally. Besides, what does anyone really know about the people who write about them? I get the impression many of them write lies.

Some people know all about the stars and their lives but I'm just not that interested.

@rebelann I'd believe very little of what I read about them, that's for sure. Well, anything of the sensational stuff anyway.

@LadyDuck The bark comes off in sheets and is often used to line hanging pots for plants.

The tree is a melelauca or paperbark. It's a street tree and that particular year all the paperbarks were blooming their little hearts out.

@judyev Oh coincidence! I was watching Miranda (BBC sitcom) last night in which Sally Philips has a part.

It was funny to have never heard of her then to have her turn up twice. I wonder if there will be a third time.

The Theatre group is good in my book to work with people that have disabilities.

I would have seen her in the one Bridget movie that I've watched but didn't take much notice of her at the time.

@JudyEv I work with several humans who are branded as "delayed" in this way and that. Helping them express themselves through music is a delight.

Not heard of her, but then I've not seen any of the Bridget Jones movies or the TV shows

It was only when I looked her up for some reason that I discovered she was in the Bridget Jones movies. I've only ever watched one and that was not long ago at the movie night here in the village.
