On the entertainment apparatus tonight, I started with Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005). If I understand matters correctly, the stars thereof weren't officially an item at the time it was made, but the filmmakers seem to have formed the impression that they could get by with scenes that fans of "Brangelina" (for so they were denoted when they did become an item shortly afterwards) would find cute merely because the stars were both present. Unsurprisingly, this approach has proved not to be of lasting merit
It's a bit of a waste really, as the premise is a good one with lots of potential. Somebody should remake it, this time concentrating on telling the story well rather than just showcasing some celebrity couple
Having been left in search of a story, I then turned to Dirty Harry (1971), which amply meets that requirement, being from the good old days when the presence of a star (or two) was not considered sufficient in itself to justify using all that celluloid
And then, as I've been meaning to rewatch it for years but somehow never have, S1E1 (as we didn't call it in those days) of Fawlty Towers: A Touch of Class. Glorious stuff, as fresh today as it was when I first watched it in 1975
Goodnight all - well, all who aren't helpdesking, to whom many commiserationsComment

In fact, the lights were so bright with the lights off & my eyes closed that it resembled a fireworks display.
Morning.
9.
Dry.
Cool.
No current precipitation.
No wind.
Two parcels to collect from the Post Office in town.
The gas board have finished (for now) digging up the road so no further requirement for being called an arsehole by moronic motor vehicle drivers.
All good clean fun.
The cottons are in the WM, and should be done by 11:30ish.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment

Off to a village fete this afternoon where I’ve discovered they will be serving two of my favourite beers and they need help on the last shift at the beer tent.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment

The parcels down in town were successfully collected from the PO.
Oddly, I managed to think it was an hour later than it actually was, so was surprised when I returned home to find the WM still going.
I think the brain rot is well and truly setting in now.
My mate turned up at about 11:45, which according to my internal clock was 12:45.
Ho hum.
In other news, the brave little soldier next door has retired back to his bed because he's so tired.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 18 May 2019, 11:43.When the fun stops, STOP.Comment
