Sedum Autumn Joy

Here is sedum autumn joy, a harbinger of fall. I took this photo in the neighbourhood recently. This perennial flower will become deep reddish in colour as fall progresses. It is very drought tolerant too.


Husband M, son K and I went to see the movie 'Hitman Agent 47' last night, only about 5 days after opening. It was K's idea, he loves the fast cars. I have to say I enjoyed it, in spite of myself. Apparently it is a series of movies, these Hitman movies, based on a video game.

 K told me to try playing the Timeplay game with my phone.  This theatre runs these games before the movie and you have the chance to earn SCENE points towards free movie tickets.  First you have to 'select' your auditorium, easy enough.  I was hopeless, in one of the games, I was supposed to 'swipe' an image across the phone screen at the right time to win points.  At the end of the game, the winners are displayed on the movie screen.  Some guy called 'Ansen' seemed to be the number one winner of all the games.

There's always an 'Ansen' in these games :)

I love Sedum Autumn Joy. I have on growing in my garden and I'm going to make sure to plant one in the next garden we have when we move!

I've never heard of an app that lets you score points towards free tickets. That's an incredible marketing ploy. The Hitman movies are based on the game of the same name. They're good but very difficult.

Hubby saw The Man from UNCLE yesterday, and Mission Impossible last week. He enjoyed both movies.

I remember when the first game came out in the early 2000s. I never played the series though

Oh those are pretty flowers! I am looking forward to fall... I'm not any good at games, kudos to you for making the attempt!

Love that flower Christine :)
And I'm quite sure that Ansen is no real person,
but a machine ...
