How pleasant was this morning, we went into the Robina Town Centre to do a few things, and then go to the Cinema. Our choice was the movie "A Dolphins Tale". Absolutely magic.
It is based on a true story about a dolphin who gets tangled within cray pot ropes, and eventually has to lose her tale because of the infection disabling her swimming action. At the Clearwater Marine Aquarium Care Centre, it is decided to create a prosthetic tail for her - she was named "Winter".
This was designed and built more than once, and after some trial and tribulations, Winter began to use this prosthetic tail most successfully.
This movie is based on a true story, and Winter who is alive and kicking today at the Clearwater Marine Centre in Florida, played herself in the movie. And to top it off for me, she had Harry Connick Jnr, as one of her co actors.
Another little surprise was that we were given free tickets - as we had seen the necessary number of movies on our "seniors on-line" pass to win the freebie. A really magic story and another great lead up to Christmas.
