Hatches battened down.
Going to nestle down with a book and listen to the air band radio.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I think today is a day to hunker down in the warmth watching a film or 2 or reading.

We've got no rain here, but it is a bit blustery and the sun is trying to come out

Nice day for a kite!
I think you might need a second opinion on that hand Paul
An update on my hand--.itis now only half the size it was. The prescribed drugs are working. Sorry John, you may have to wait for the Condor.

Well, had to be plan c in the end. Didn't go to the show due to adverse weather conditions, didn't go and see my son as he is shopping in Liverpool so took the dog for a walk, then home for lunch and took the dog out again to an indoor pet place to socialise with other dogs. Now home for rest of evening. Weather still very uncertain and very windy.

Went to see Blinded by the Light this evening. This is the story of journalist Sarfraz Manzoor growing up in Luton in the 80s/90s and the impact and parallels of Springsteen's music on/in his life.
I'm a massive Springsteen fan and it was this that attracted me to the film. How wrong I was to go for this reason. This is a tremendous and powerful piece of cinema. I cried in several places.
I'm white, middle class, had opportunities, education, work - privileged one might say but mum and dad were far from wealthy. I've been a fan since around '82. Given my background I now realise I've probably never really heard the lyrics before. Tonight I think I understood exactly what Springsteen says to people and why they connect.
Fantastic film. You don't need to be a Springsteen fan but it does help to pick up some of the very small references.
Highly recommended.

Mini D had a minor asthma attack earlier. Shes fine, bit was upset. I've tucked her up in our bed and I'm snuggled next to her watching Captain America while she snoozes.
