They must have filmed that in various places. I think bit of it was done on Mull west coast. I have a map marked with the locations somewhere and a bit of 35mm film which was shown came from my left over bits. Mebbe I have the wrong film but it was deffo Donald Sutherland. Nice bloke with no airs and graces.

For better or worse that is my second jab of Astrazenica done.
Not very reassuring that it has been banned in Denmark because of blood clots in some cases. It was explained to me before the needle went in but I decided at my age it is the least of my worries.
Another nice sunny day but a bit windy and not doing anything much.
I have loads of rubbish to clear out so made some space in my car to get it to the dump [or as much as I can bear to chuck out].
My old Epson printer has gone a bit strange so it has to go as well after I have removed the ink cartridges.
Need fresh petrol to get my rotovator going before I advertise it for sale.

Think I spoke too early about no side effects, started to feel like I just done 6 rounds with Tyson Fury 
and been out clubbing till the early hours.
Another one whose loading the car up with junk/rubbish to take to the local recycling centre at 3 o/c, feel more like going back to bed though!

If its not a daft question.....why didn't you plan your shopping for Tuesday then it would have just been one trip ?Ihave returned from shopping in Morrison's In the Metropolis of Newtown.
MR WD has to have his 2nd jab on Tuesday and I didn't fancy having to go 50 miles twice in one week, so we went today.
Glorious weather here.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Because his appointment isn't until after 5pm and Iceland will be shut ( the shop not the country)

Been a good week so far:
1. £125 refund on cancelled road fund licence.
2. £137 refund on washer part I'd ordered but couldn't fit as there were other unrepairable problems- we needed a new washer but the old one didn't owe us anything after a long but hard life washing our son's team's football kit many years ago
3. SEAT Finance finally agreed to waive £347 final charges on paint chips they alleged needed repairing on our returned lease car.
4. £89 refund on cancelled car insurance.
That'll pay for a holiday, even after buying the new washer!
Sometimes things work out.

Wandered off to Liverpool airport to see what was happening. Very excited to see several cars on the road round the back - all with cameras and some with aircraft radios - I thought something must be happening
So I asked - apparently it looked like a nice day so a group of them just decided to come down and hope something unexpected happens. Sometime a military plane comes round and does and approach or a few circuits - but it is not normally announced in advance!
But today nothing was expected - from the look of them they just wanted to get out of the house!!
Anyway - on the way home I spotted this buzzard (I think) soaring over some fields and trees

Is that the sort where the sides expand hydraulically?

I watched seasons 6 and 7 with my (now) bubble pal in pre-Covid times. Before watching season 8 we went back in time to watch seasons 1 - 5, which we completed a couple of weeks ago. We decided to watch 6 and 7 again and are now part way through 6.
We like the program, though the frequent gruesome crime scenes would not appeal to many people!
Everybody did look so young in the first couple of seasons but they are starting to look more world-weary by season 6.
The picture quality in the first couple of seasons was awful! It looked like somebody had shot the show on an old domestic camcorder... I had to adjust the controls on my TV for it, and that is the only time in 5 years that I have. It looks like their budget had quadrupled by series 3 because the production quality was way higher.
