After the hunt

Image
An interesting film.  I can't really remember the last time l saw Julia Roberts in a film.  The performances of all the cast were good and this was an interesting film that made me think about afterwards; the sign of a good film l think. Have you seen this film?

Have you read The Da Vinci Code?

Image
It started with a documentary that l saw on Rennes le Chateau.  The documentary linked this book to the catholic priest in that town. So l decided to read(listen) to the book and can't clearly see the link yet. Let me know if you've read this book and can see the link.

Donald the Cat is back!

Image
I'm house sitting again.  So it's Monday and on Monday l talk about the shows l've seen. I tried talking about the ballet l saw but, Donald, one of the cats l'm looking after, had other ideas. He has the sweetest nature and loves walking in front of the camera. He's not even meant to be up on the table but it doesn't stop him. So enjoy Donald and l talking about ballet.

Jane Harper has a new book out....

Image
Jane Harper has a new book coming out.  For the first time l can remember it is being released in Australia on Tuesday October 14th. The rest of the world will have to wait until April next year. It is most unusual to see something released in Australia first. We normally have to wait for most things. In January l finally was able to see the film Conclave. It was released in Australia 3 months later than in America and this is typical of what happens here. Of course Jane Harper is an Australian author, a very good author. Hopefully she will make appearances and l may able to see her talk at a library. I have read all the Aaron Falk novels which began with The Dry. Then, as it happens, l lost touch with her novels. I saw The Survivors on Netflix yesterday and have watched both films that starred Eric Bana as Aaron Falk. Next on my list is Lost Man. To reaquaint myself with this author l am currently listening to The Dry. It was such a good first novel and l will listen to this book ...

 We are up to sonnet 19. There is already a change. Hope you are enjoying the sonnets as much as l do.

Downton Abbey

Have you watched the Downton Abbey series?  If you have that's more than my friend and l had.  Last week a friend asked me if l wanted to see a film. She chose the film and l assumed that she must have watched the series. Imagine my surprise when l asked what it was about she said, like me, didn't know. She hadn't watched the series either! So there we were sitting in gold class eating our vegetarian spring rolls and drinking gin ( well okay that was only me) watching a film that's part of a series neither of us had watched. What was the film like. It was okay. Of course it probably would have been better if we knew the back story, but, the acting was good and the writer of the series wrote this film apparently. So that's continuity as least. If you know this series let me know. I believe it was very popular. I just never got around to watching it.  Have you ever been invited to see something and then release that you know nothing about it and don't really get t...
