Crispy the cat - she would have been an implausible 23 today...
Through the letter box came Brad Mehldau's solo piano concert in Tokyo recorded in 2003...
I liked this disc on first listening but chose not to take it along for in-car listening tonight after last night's Django Bates fiasco with Anne. Instead, we were accompanied by the "safe bet" of Erasure...
Tasty...
We made our way to Tesco on the far side of town to pick up the new "Setanta Ready" Freeview Box and 150 empty CD cases...
After some confusion over the nature of our order, we bundled the stuff into the boot and drove up to Fountain Park for the opening of the Edinburgh Film Festival, with a screening of David MacKenzie's "Hallam Foe"...
I couldn't believe it - we had to actually queue to get in - we're not used to that as, normally, we will do our utmost to attend screenings at ungodly hours when there are very few other people around...
As we waited to get in, an assortment of misfits made their way to buses next to our queue - these were the great and the good who had attended the Premiere earlier in the evening and were now being whisked off to some after-show party or other...
The film was great but not earth-shatteringly, life-changingly brilliant (and, no, I don't have a list of films which I have found to be so)....
It was made all the more interesting to us as it was mainly shot in Edinburgh, using a combination of the two grand old hotels at either end of Princes St to act as the place of the title character's work...
I won't mention the plot in case you're going to go and see it but there was very little, if anything really, to fault it...
I was entertained indeed...
Tomorrow Monteverde and, perhaps, Jim Park...
Highlight of the Day : Hallam Foe
