Still no sign of the rain, and it's brightening up a little out there
Pah! Still pissing down here & it's not doing it halfheartedly.
Defrosting the fridge in the salting house & it's taking forever & making puddles on the floor.
I've got the dehumidifier blowing slightly warmed air into it to speed it up a bit.
The thing hasn't been defrosted for years & since it was almost empty apart from the veg, eggs & a gallon & a half of milk I thought I'd leap into action.
5 hours later it's still going but I've got the lamb bones out of the freezer compartment which is something.
Entertainment (continued):
HSB S4 E20: "Hair Apparent "
HSB S4 E21: "Lucky Ducks "
I was going to watch the thing about the Raj & the East India Company but it was too right on for my taste.
Then I was going to watch "Three billboards" but didn't feel like watching that either.
I decided it was time for a change from monsters and explosions, so tonight's movie premiere was The Lovely Bones (2009), in which a young girl murdered by the local pervert keeps an eye on what's going on with her family from a kind of hinterland of Heaven. It's very good, in a deep and meaningful way. Definitely in the "have to be in the mood for it" category, though
And that inspired me to continue with the theme of people who are or have been dead, which naturally led me to a rewatch of the excellent Constantine (2005) - though I was also inspired by a tweet earlier today asserting that this was "the first film in which the editors didn't have to digitally remove Tilda Swinton's wings"
It finally started raining around midnight, and has carried on for most of the time since. It turned out that some of the heaviest downpours, audible through the open window, coincided with related scenes in Constantine which is always a nice bit of synchronicity
