Meanders

My feet may be a little on the nippy side but I have a nice cup of Chai on the side so things aren't too bad, I have a made for me Spotify list playing as I type, I will highlight a few tracks as I go on. As previously said I am back at …

The Film Set

Last Wednesday was my birthday, and to acknowledge that fact Heather and I went to the cinema to see... ... ... "Sonic the Hedgehog". It was surprisingly good to be fair, Jim Carrey was Dr Robotnik and did an excellent job of playing Jim Carrey but it was clear that this was a kids comedy …

The Return of the Discontinued Sandman

I am back after a nice week's break in Norfolk with my beloved and it was nice just to be able to spend a week with just her. We stayed in an Air BnB which was in West Runton very close to Cromer and Sheringham and a five minute walk from a beach. There was …

I Guess I Will Have to Change My Plans

I am currently eating my lunch on my split shift and have got my Spotify discovery playlist running as I type this, as before I will not the tracks as I go along (Oh Look at Me Know- Lee Whiley, Bobby Hackett). The week got off to a very good start for me with a …

Downtime

Friday I went to the Cinema, unusually I went to the Shrewsbury Cineworld as opposed to Telford, and I saw the new Dumbo movie which is by Tim Burton. It is ok, a bit Tim Burton-lite with many of his usual themes present but don't really dwelt up. I can't really compare it with the …

10 Films

In response to Melanie's Ten Films Which Influenced Me post, which in term was inspired by The Haunted Wordsmith, So since I am not sure quite how "inspired" is to be interpreted here is my best shot. 1. Citizen Kane Yes I know it is a bit of a Film School Textbook answer but many …

Autumn Leaves

Things have been going well with Heather, she spent all of last week at mine although we didn't spend as much time together as we thought we might thanks to our work patterns in the week. We visited Nan and took her shopping which was nice and then we went for dinner and tried out …

A Sense of Scale: Ant-man and the Wasp

Ant-man and the Wasp is another entry into the MCU and is set after Captain America: Civil War but before Avengers: Infinity War (but not dramatically so) and after some heavy going storylines, it is a bit of a welcome relief that this movie is a much more light-hearted affair with a joyous level of …

Timeless Time

It's been a changeable week and, thanks to the Orac not liking the Wi-Fi in the living room, I am sat here typing this entry in my dining room while listening to "No One Ever Tells", the second of three Jazz inspired vocal albums by Seth MacFarlane. Yes, that Seth MacFarlane and no it isn't a …

First of the Summer Wine?

Well I am lying on my bed lying as Pip would put it, the wrong way round (switching position ever few weeks eases my back issues), contemplating things. Like "if ears were square, would the corners cut your pillow open?" Major philosophical points as you can tell... Friday afternoon I went to the Cinema to …
