Monday Diary
Jan. 1st, 2018 10:42 pmSo first day of the year.
Broadly speaking a good day.
Slight lie in as it's a holiday even though I didn't go out or have a drink.
So out of the house for a walk round the hill, I did about four miles in 2 ours, which considering the conditions I'm happy with.
culture - Escape from Athena - old 70s war movie with Roger Moore. Started out bright, breezy, quite funny and turned into big raid the monastery film. On wiki, it was said Lew Grade loved the second half with motor cycle chases and action. I though the comedy with Elliot Gould and David Niven was much better.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2. I missed it at the cinema and frankly I didn't miss much. Iliked the first film, but despite the long lost father plot, it was more of the same and I didn't care.
watched some TOTP but the highlight was he documentary on "Saturday Night Fever" by Bruno from SCD. Lots of original production team and actors, including Travolta and original behind the scenes filming. Great slice of film making at that time and lovely to see a big star so enthusiastic about his first big picture. I must actually hunt out the film. More gritty than I was aware, I think I always thought it was similar in tone to Grease. It's not!
Spent some money on clothes on line. Decided to go a bit black and red and goth. So cutting down the colours and doing something not high street, but not really out there. ddid some jobs round the flat and cooked sweet and sour chicken using a simple pasta sauce as base but doing the flavours from scratch.
