    It’s a BH when nobody is allowed out to enjoy the weather. It was only ever about ruining people’s holidays, but now they come pre-ruined

      Currently watching BBC Four - Score: Cinema's Greatest Soundtracks

      All about how a film score can make or break a film, silent movies not being silent because they relied on the score to convey what was happening on screen, some iconic movies and their soundtracks (iconic being in the eye of beholder, of course).

      And eating the last of the KFC

      After this, the cake will be plenty cool enough to ice.

        Missed Kermode's thing on BBC4 last evening for obvious reasons.

        Since it's about romcoms I think I'll give it a miss.

        <dish washing hiatus>

        I have an overwhelming urge to fall asleep.

        But if I do that I'll end up wide awake at 04:00 tomorrow.

        Ho hum.

          The recycling bin has been trundled back in

          They don’t seem so fussy about which colour bin liner the neighbours use at the moment

          And, spotting while I was out there that the queue for Iceland was negligible, I popped in for some chunky battered fish - got the last box (cod) too

          I also ended up buying other stuff like Magnums, as one does, so the freezer which was absolutely full after yesterday’s shop is now even more absolutely full

            I went to a thing at Phoenix Arts (now the Sue Townsend Theatre) in the late 1990s with a pianist playing the original scores to accompany a showing of old “silent” films. It was really good

              There was a Star Wars screening at the Royal Albert Hall last year with a full orchestra playing the score. Sadly didn't get tickets

                Turned the page over to gather ingredients for icing.

                I need more sour cream!

                This means Going Outside.

                  I’ve always wanted to see Philip Glass conducting his full orchestra and choir for a showing of Koyaanisqatsi. He does a tour of it every few years, but given his age I think I may have missed my chance

                    Towels out of the TD.

                    Smalls off the line.

                    Sheets & pillowcases blowing in the wind.

                    Interweb thing getting distinctly slow.

                    Now off out for a walk.

                    I may be some time.
