And after that, a rewatch of The Martian (2015), extended edition, because I really like it. It reminded me that I have the book but haven't read it, so I must dig that out and get stuck in.

And so it came to pass. It’s very good

Very windy out again

This evening's first feature may turn out to be "The Art of War (2000)" with Wesley Snipes.

I don't recall seeing this before, but time will tell.

Nope, hadn't seen it before that I can recall, it's got Michael Biehn in it but not as John Connor's dad.

The evening's 2nd feature turned out to be "First Blood (1982)" with Sly Stallone looking extremely young.

It's as good now as it was back then.

Very windy out again

Wind has died down here, which is good as The Dog (tw) was starting to think there might be thunder on the way, which means no sleep for me.

Still windy here & intermittently rainy with it.

TFBSZ.

First on the film front this evening was The Tourist (2010), in which a hapless American is drawn into gangster-related shenanigans. It was OK, but one did get the impression that it came about on the basis of "We'll put Angelina Jolie and Johnny Depp in Venice, and then… I dunno, stuff happens. Guns and boats and tulip" rather than "We've got this finely crafted story in a carefully chosen location; now let's find the right actors"

Also, Venice is a stupid idea. Build your cities on land, not in the Adriatic Sea FFS

After that, a rewatch of Unstoppable (2010), because sometimes only huge out-of-control trains will do

The last time I watched this, MS was stuck on a non-moving train. I assume that wasn't the case this time.

And then a further episode of SWAT featuring, among others, the actress who played Vic Mackey's wife in The Shield - though she is married to Shawn Ryan, creator of both series, so it's not too surprising she turns up in both.

Goodnight all

[DoctorStrangelove]

Morning all.

Just turned off Will Self coz he was talking tulipe.

Grey.

Apparently not windy since the trees aren't waving about the way they were yesterday.

No current precipitation though it pissed down about half an hour ago.

Sunday. <- merely to show that I know what day it is.

<hiatus>

Beef it is aroasting.

The vac has had its outing around what little of the carpets are visible.

90% of the apples and 90% of the pears are now windfalls.

And thusly will decorate the compost heap shortly.

<hiatus>

Taps screen: is this thing fecked again?

Power cuts or what?

<hiatus>

Roast beef was ok in its usual way.

The sense of something missing was revealed to be correct then the roasties and the roast onion were discovered in the oven after I'd eaten the rest.

Now sat down having a nice 1.05 pints of Good Glengettie Tea.
