How many times have I got to stand outside and film this?
My fingers were frozen; I wasn’t recording.
Go back and restart that run can you?!

Sausage roll anyone?
Bugger … I only put that in to warm up (two hours ago) … then started watching the film version of ‘me before you’.. based on JoJo’s book I finished recently.
Didn’t think I’d need tissues; after all, I knew what was going to happen didn’t I? 😭😭😭😭😭😭
Charles Dance’s portrayal of Will’s downtrodden father, who suddenly finds his voice after over thirty five years of marriage is worth a watch alone!
I needed Will to be as appealing on screen as I found him to be on the page. Sam Claflin gave that to me and while moving only his eyes and head through the whole film, obviously, still manages to depict anger, humour, hate, love and pain.
Emelia Clarke is suitably ditsy, pretty and engaging and slowly learns that her own life is so small and during her six-month contract as carer, Will encourages her to push her boundaries, to ‘live life’. Love that.
Whether you approve of the storyline’s conclusion or not, the film takes onboard JoJo’s message from the book.
She wants to give her life to him.
He wants to give her life to her.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s
One of my favourite films…
Audrey’s Holly Golightly was so forward-thinking for the time, using her charms to maintain her chosen lifestyle for a while … and what a gem was George Peppard’s character. If you recall he did not judge but befriended in a kind and funny manner while maintaining alpha properties; that’s an art and extremely attractive. Great film.
My favoured earl grey steeping.. what shall we have with it? (I warned you I would drag you along during this 24+ hours) … and we are reading a friend’s arc (advanced reader copy) while we have Breakfast at Masson de la Vie.
What would you choose if you were with me from this table stocked with luscious sweet and savoury treats? Or should we have something from the menu….
Once again, a taste of Europe … they do it so much better.
Basket of Bread methinks.. 😋
Flames of youth
🌼
The line of his jaw,
As he contemplated life.
The flicker of flame
Mottled the skin of his wife.
🌷
She had danced and laughed,
While he watched her close.
Her card was marked,
her flushed cheeks that of rose.
🌹
White collars, cigars and velvet,
Hidden from view in the attic,
He ages while his real self
Plays on like some fanatic.
🌸
Ok, that was just weird. The film and this poem. I’m going to bed and will delete this post in the morning if it receives less than 10 likes, because really, one should maintain some level of calibre 🤣
