    Last year I took some photos for friends at their wedding. It wasn’t work, it was enjoyable, and I had no issue with doing it as a present for them. Apart from thanking me with wine, food, etc, they surprised me last weekend. They’d got an artist to do a portrait of The Dog (tw).

    I’m so chuffed with it, and the artist has it on her website.

    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

            I vaguely remember reading something about the original being some kind of allegory for something or other which made it better than the remake, but I can't remember any details of the argument and didn't think much of it anyway

              Ah.

              An allegory.

              That would explain my feelings of in which case

              After the unexpected doze during the News Quiz I've been reading more of "The Enemies Within" by Richard Davenport Hines.

              I'd like to say it is gripping but it's a bit dry if I'm honest.

              But feck me there's been a lot of traitors over the years.

              <hiatus whilst other stuff got done>

              There we are, the bits & pieces I ordered from Rapid have been consigned to the stores in what passes for the office in the front room.

              £800 of electronic parts.

              I bet most will be dumped after I'm dead.

              Looking, as ever, on the bright side.

              Tea/dinner this evening was liver, bacon and onion gravy.

              It was unusually nice.

              I read in the paper about a different technique for cooking the bacon and it seemed to improve things a bit though it still wasn't crispy.

              The liver, being a good deal fresher, was very nice.

              I may have neglected to mention that I watched "Sudden Impact" "The Dead Pool" during the week, it being the one of the DH oevre for which I'm not word perfect.

              Another epic was "Ultraviolet" which I found uninspiring and I still haven't watched the deleted scenes which are purported to explain stuff.

                      Intriguing. Does he write about his lunch, the weather, and putting the bins out?
