    Morning all it was CBS earlier but a few high clouds blowing in now
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

      Grey, misty, with added drizzle just to make sure, like.

      Today's first feature is "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" with Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston, and Tim Holt.

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0040897/

      There's a lot of dialogue.

      And sand.

      And gold.

      It was rather good in its way, though not exactly typical Bogart.

      The drizzle is now proper rain.

      Today's 2nd feature was "Doctor No" with Sean Connery and Ursula Andress plus Joseph Wiseman, Bernard Lee, and not forgetting Jack "Book him Danno, Murder One" Lord as Felix Leiter.

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055928/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

      It featured a Sunbeam Alpine again, and a curiously naked nuclear reactor, the design of which raises a remarkable number of questions.

      The 3rd feature is "Bonnie & Clyde" with Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

      https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061418/?ref_=nv_sr_1

      Which turned out to be rather less interesting than I remembered.

      Then again it must be 30 years since I watched it last.

      When the fun stops, STOP.

        In Victorian times, mothers would disguise themselves as chairs to get their kids to sit still long enough to be photographed.

          hissing down in sarf herts again.
          it's So nice to look out at green stuff again, the dessicated yellow colours weren't so pretty.

          haddock, chips and peas for dinner, courtesy of the usual suspects.

            Home again

            Rain, light but persistent, for much of the journey back.

            And as we don't often have these family gatherings on a Saturday, I'm going to spend the rest of the day thinking it's Sunday

                The rain persists, heavy at times. The whole of outside looks very soggy now
