    James Thurber had a bloodhound once and he said whenever he called it to "come", it would wander all round the garden until it eventually reached him.
    Apparently it wasn't interested in where he was, only in how he had got there!

    We saw that at the cinema and were transfixed. How you can maintain that sort of tension in a film where you know the ending is beyond me. There was a programme last night on BBC 4 about the dawn chorus. Made by sound engineer Chris Watson who gave a talk at our birdwatching club once. If it’s on iplayer I may watch it to relax. It might have been part of their mindfulness series. However Chris Watson was in electric (electronic?) music band from the 70’s Cabaret Voltaire who were groundbreaking at the time and BBC were having an electric music on the BBC night as well so it could have been because if that. Covered both actually. Interesting man: worked a lot with David Attenborough. Told us that Ravens communicate with each other at night, telling each other what they’ve been up to and where the best food is a large Huginn and Muginn (sp).

    Love ZDT - very close to the truth of the character of Maya. Amazing woman to keep up that single minded intensity to get to the truth. I read somewhere that when the attack was agreed, Obama was told only 50% sure Bin Laden was there but the 50% was consistent and nothing else was telling them anything different, although Maya was 100% sure he was there.

    Imagine if Trumpy had been POTUS when they pulled that off :-)

    He'd have just dropped a few bombs on it. Good job he didn't get in again with what is going on the ME right now, aside from just good job he didn't get in again full stop.

    Mare of Easttown is very good, if you liked The Killing and similar then you will most likely like this.

    Sky Arts channel - The Eagles in concert at the LA Forum.

    Featuring several of my karaoke standards.

    Unfortunately I'm being treated for throat problems just now so Benidorm's karaoke bars will have to wait until normal service is resumed

    Watched some of it and recorded the rest. I saw them at Wembley Arena on the Hotel California tour in 1977 and then Don Henley in Manchester 5 years ago. Both excellent gigs.

    I'm guessing that the 'thank you' is for the final sentence.

    I half watched Tea with Mussolini the other night. Don’t understand why I’ve never seen it before. Absolutely charming film. Must watch it properly.

    Watched Q Planes on Talking Pictures last night, quietly amusing little film.

    Watched a fair bit of the Cummings evidence today.

    Riveting stuff.

    If only we could be sure of which parts are true...

    If only a fraction of it is true it should be the end of one or two....at least! I suspect most of it is accurate but, if I were a betting man, I would bet the consequences will be negligible.

    The most damning stuff was about Carrie Symonds' influence. After the redecoration fiasco, this could be interesting.

    Sony Movies Channel (41 up here) - Shepherd of the Hills - a 1941 western-ish story with a young John Wayne. Thoroughly watchable and stolen by co-star Betty Field. I've seen it before a few times but it will allow me to pass the time while I wait for the football to start.
