Still managing... in blackpropaganda

to keep it up (as the bishop said to the actress) - of course I mean writing or putting something up (hmm) every day.
Went to the cinema yesterday evening. We do not go very much because the soundtrack noise can be totally over the top - and in the small multiplex cinemas that can be oppressive - do I really want sound coming all a round me? Call me old fashioned but I can do without being shouted at and blasted out of my seat.

Luckily not likely with the gentle film The Lady in the Van - written by Alan Bennett - and lovingly directed by Nicholas Hytner - great performances from Alex Jennings, as Bennett, and Maggie Smith, outstanding as the difficult lady in the van in his drive. Wonderful acting. And no car chases, explosions, and simulating sex. Although the lovely procession of rather rough trade young men exiting Bennett’s house in the morning past the van was fun. Quintessentially British, or do I mean English.

By the way I read on FB that a son was in a ‘British restaurant’ - what is that all about?

It is still raining in bursts - and no doubt we will get soaked this afternoon when walking at the coast - I cannot wait for the sun to turn round and go back to the equator!!

Anyway - as per norm a little amusement.
