    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

    Comment


      This evening's first feature was "Double Indemnity" with Barbra Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray and Edward G. Robinson.

      Very noir. Very B&W. Very good.

      Double Indemnity (1944) - IMDb

      Followed by Ep 2 & 3 of "Person of Interest", the latter having introduced the mysterious Mr Elias.

      Loved the drive-in bar in "Double Indemnity".

        Caught a bit of the Irish Customs thing while eating dinner.

        Then, for the evening's main feature: Bullitt, which I haven't seen in many years - possibly not since the 1970s. It turns out it has a pretty good film wrapped around the famous car chase

        Though I'm not sure why a hotel was advertising their forthcoming Mothering Sunday brunch as being on May 11, given that wasn't on a Sunday until 1969, a year after the film was released. Maybe it's set in the future?

        Goodnight all

              Crappy 2 hour journey to clientco via a 4 lane closure of the M62 and a diversion through the fortuitously positioned service station. Then after that, torrential road flooding style rain, and catching the rush hour traffic on the way into Harrogate.

              Sun's out now though.

                  Morning all was blue skies when I set out to walk The Dog (tw), liquid sunshine towards the end of it.

                    FTFY.

                    In other news, Zeity is more or less in agony today.

                    The withdrawal symptoms from the ibuprofen are not pleasant.

                    I can see how people get addicted to this tulip.



                    Oh, and that bolt I couldn't undo on Friday?

                    Well after a weekend soaking in WD40, I still can't undo it.

                    Heating it with a lighter did nothing, as did cooling it with freezer spray.

                      Looking to book some train tickets for a trip to Liverpool. According to the webs, the trains are borked between Manc and Hudds with replacement buses being organised. Presumably, they'll join the queues on the M62 then. Northern Powerhouse anyone?
