Not that I was expecting to do anything today
they haven't been fed by human hand for about a year, or had the pump turned on, but they're quite spritely.
i do prefer cats as pets though, fish are pretty boring.

Hedges cut.
Apples picked up and 10 or 12 builders bucketsful taken to the compost heap.
It annoyed the wasps.
But they're not quite in the legless "I can fly, I know I can fly, all I have to do is buzz a bit and get on my feet and fly" sort of drunken state that will arrive in a week or two.
And it's quite overcast now, in fact it's looking quite threatening over Drummau.
After which, for some insane reason, I decided to watch "The Mexican" with Brad Pitt, James Gandolfini, Julia Roberts.

I can't have been in the right mood coz it seemed interminable.
I liked the dog & Mr Gandolfini, who acted the rest of them off the screen.
And I could have done without the Julia Roberts harpy bits quite well.
And, judging by the reviews, I'm not alone in that opinion.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 6 August 2018, 09:18.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

There's only a few more curries, stews, and so forth left in the freezer now.Comment

Anyone watching the Ed Balls Trump thing? Quite insightful (last week), this week more about guns and stuff, but Ed gets tazered so worth a watch.
We talk about Hungerford decades later. It's BAU over there.Comment

Tonight's film was The Sting (1973), which you may remember as having caused a minor craze for the music of Scott Joplin around the time it came out. Very entertaining, with a number of elegant twists in the tale
I know I've seen it before some time but I didn't really remember it at all; it's entirely possible that time was Christmas Day 1979, so perhaps it's not too surprising if my memory has faded somewhat
Goodnight allComment

Saw "The Sting" in the kinema back in the day.
Presumably on its first run.
And I've got the Scott Joplin LPs somewhere, unplayed since about 1978.
22.2 deg in the living room, 21.6 deg in the laundry room.
Quite unpleasantly close & warm overnight.
Not overly pleased to be woken at 06:02.
It's as grey as a grey thing out there today, 10 10ths grey overcast.
Not raining.
Yet.
There appear to be trains today, their lateness is yet to be determined.
Said train was, in fact, on time, with two carriages, of Class 150.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 6 August 2018, 09:16.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
