I've named my Gremlin!

[AnneDroid]

After a year of running my Gremlin has not given up and gone away. Because I've been feeling under par recently, I've been particularly aware of that insidious negativity...

Anyway, I know some of you have named your Gremlins so I've decided to join in. It turns out I'm the new Mrs DeWinter to Mrs Danvers the Gremlin.

Mrs Danvers is snide and mean but I will rise above her poisonous remarks and remember that Mr DeWinter (i.e. running) loves me very much.

Oh Anne, I absolutely loved this film. One of my favourites, I love the old classics . Excellent choice of name ! xxx

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to poppypug]

I read the book several times when I was young. I think I've only seen the film once.

[ancientrunner Graduate10]

Excellent choice - the picture says it all.

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to ancientrunner]

Yes, and of course I look just as glamorous and beautiful as Joan Fontaine whilst out running.

[ancientrunner Graduate10 in reply to AnneDroid]

All you need is an off the shoulder running top I'm sure!!

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to ancientrunner]

Indeed. Complete with industrial strength sports bra underneath!

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate10]

As long as you don't have to compete against Rebecca!

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Yes, I don't know who or what Rebecca would be in my story...!

[Sandraj39 Graduate10]

Ah, "Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again..." wonderful film! 🙂

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to Sandraj39]

The only first line of a book I know, I think.

Running certainly loves you, what a great way round to think of it as. Don't let Mrs Danvers even get a word in

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

I won't. I've seen the end and I know she gets her comeuppance.

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

Haha Anne! I haven't named my Garmin but this is very creative 😊 A bit of a mouthful though when you're swearing 😏

I was never convinced that Mr DeWinter loved Rebecca that much actually...... a bit cold he was wasn't he?

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to Irishprincess]

I know what you mean. I prefer Mr Darcy personally.

[Irishprincess Graduate10 in reply to AnneDroid]

I thought he was too moody ☹️ Couldn't be bothered with all that "strong silent" type. Do my head in 😏

Love this film... horrid Danvers!!! Scared me stiff when I was young....( yes, I was, once...)

Your gremlin must be really nasty...focus on Maxim and stay away from anywhere called Mandalay!!!!

Run, Second Mrs De Winter...run....Eeeeek!

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to Oldfloss]

Haha! I'm hoping to go running tonight and I'll make sure to say to myself, "Run, Second Mrs De Winter... run..."!

[Irish-John Graduate10]

What I call my gremlin is too foul to be repeated in front of young ladies like y'all!

[AnneDroid Graduate10 in reply to Irish-John]

I work in a jail. I doubt I'd faint with shock...

[Irish-John Graduate10 in reply to AnneDroid]

I just KNEW I knew you from somewhere LOL
