The plan for today was a
meeting for the morning, and then would take the afternoon off. The
meeting went west, so I spent the day at home. To be honest I wasn't
feeling 100%: my sinusitis was playing up quite seriously today. I
curled up on the sofa; pulled a blanket over myself, put "Survivors:
Season 2" on the DVD player, and sulked for six hours.
I don't cope with illness
very well.
And being Tuesday we went
round to Chris's house. Rather than the usual TV, tonight we watched
a film: "The Amazing Mr Blunden". I can remember
watching this in the cinema when it first came out nearly forty years
ago. I could remember it being a good film, and i wasn't
disappointed. It has to be said that the ending was rather weak, but
that can be said of a lot of films form the early 70s.
I was amazed to find that
the film had been directed by Lionel Jeffries - he played the Grandad
in "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" - I had no idea that he
was a director.
Meanwhile our newest
friend has realised that preparation is everything: it's all very
well blowing a safe (oo-er!) provided one has the wherewithal
to make a quick get-away. Clearly a snowmobile lacks the boot space
that a blinged police car might have.
It's amazing how
upsetting a failed get-away can be - that crowbar is certainly not at
a very rakish angle....
