Unless it's in the first place you look & you can't see the wood for the trees.
This happens to me disturbingly frequently these days.

You need a bigger chainsaw!

Sunny out

The trees are still waving their arms about a lot though, which is making it rather windy.

After what seems an eternity looking for a new job, it seems I am now gainfully employed (Subject to contracts & references).

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

Thanks!

Strange how negative the emotions are being unemployed.

Having ventured out to remove some broken asbestos sheeting from the Strangelove parent's carport, it immediately started a monsoon, so once that was done, I came back indoors again and watched the end of "On the Beach(2000)".

I was going to get the chainsaw out & massacre some more bushes, but it was a good deal too wet to bother.

And Brian Brown did, indeed, race his Ferrari, but not quite in the same way as Fred Astaire, it being a rather more recent film.

He didn't do what I seem to recall him doing in the book, namely pulling the plugs & filling the bores with engine oil before quietly popping his clogs.

What no one seemed to point out in either film is that NZ is further south than Melbourne & would presumably take a little longer for the radiation to arrive.

Following the end of that epic, it was time for something a little lighter, namely "Black Adder's Xmas Carol" wherein our hero discovers the disadvantages of being good & the advantages of being evil.

I wonder if Prince Albert really was that dense.

The 2nd feature this windy rainswept afternoon is "Gun shy" with Liam Neeson and Sandra Bullock.

Which was ok in its way, fairly amusing, not run of the mill.

Sandra Bullock was very much a co-star rather than the lead.

That's right - he was very careful to make sure the car was properly laid up

It's about 18 here and wet with it.

The wind seems to have dropped a bit which is nice.

Tonight's final feature is "Thick as Thieves" with Morgan "The Voice of God" Freeman and one of my least favourite actors, Mr. Banderas.

Thankfully this last isn't doing his way over the top smuck in this one.

I've seen it before and the dvd is a fairly obvious copy.

It was ok for a heist film, I'd forgotten the twist.
