Feck,
Now I have the ZeitNephew & wife to look forward to on the BH.
They want to talk about the house.
This evening's first feature was "Limitless" with Bradley "American Sniper" Cooper and Bob De Niro.
It was ok, but not a patch on "Lucy", being rather less in the deus ex machina approach.
Limitless (2011) - IMDb
This was followed by some ancient NTSC documentary about John Ford and all the westerns he directed.
Must have been shot in the late 60s/early 70s judging by how fat John Wayne was.
Sounds a bit like:

Sounds a lot like
The American West of John Ford (TV Movie 1971) - IMDb
In fact they're the same thing.Last edited by zeitghost; 21 August 2017, 09:21.Comment

My evening opened with Fight Club. I watched this perhaps twenty years ago when it was on telly, but it was probably after coming back from the pub and I didn't really remember it. I thought it was very good, for the most part; maybe not sufficiently harsh on the consumerist basis of modern society, but at least it identified that as a fundamental malaise
After that I rewatched Looper because any time travel film that has paradoxes thrown in (unlike, say, The Time Machine which merely incorporates time travel as part of a straightforward narrative) bears rewatching several times, so one can either identify anomalies or understand that they aren't really anomalous. I think I may be close to understanding this one properly, and certainly recommend it
Goodnight all

Morning all
S'murky out and still a bit of rain in the air after the downpour overnight (which had The Dog (tw) trembling most of the night).…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

Utterly grey from horizon to horizon.
You'd think there was some sort of astronomical event pencilled in for this evening.
<= waste of time even thinking of looking.

Had to rescue a spider from my sink.
I think it is the spider who lives behind the washing machine.
Well now she is outside."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

Morning denizens
Grey day
I just got a phone call from the doctor's surgery. "You need a pneumococcal vaccination." (First I've heard of it.) "We're doing them tomorrow between 3 and 5, what time can you be here?"
I informed them that I couldn't as I'd be seventy miles away working, and they seemed quite surprised
They're going to get back to me. I still have no idea what it's about, but I assume they get a bung off the NHS Trust for everybody they manage to administer this thing to
