today we are going to have our Sunday lunch at home,
also we decided to eat outside, the salmon coloured amaryllis were still giving a good show with more flower heads waiting to open,
we also noticed that one of the darker flowering plants that has red flowers was putting up a flower,
hopefully a few more will flower over the next few weeks,
the desert rose decided to put on a show as well,
then lunch was served,
roast chicken with stuffing plus all of the trimmings,
and we just had to have a ice cream for dessert,
a magnum, the diet starts tomorrow, really!
we chatted the afternoon away in the evening settling down to watch two films, firstly Ravenous, set in the early pioneer days of the west, a stranger who has spent three months lost in the mountains arrives at the fort, the stranger, played superbly well by Robert Carlyle steals the show, which descends into murder and cannibalism, as the fort they are staying and the subsequent march has a viper in it's party, also worth a mention is the great atmospheric music that played in the movie, by Damon Albarn (of British band Blur) and Michael Nyman,
we followed that with The Big Country, made in 1958, it has stood the test of time and remains one of the great all time westerns, by now it was more than getting late, this film was 2 hours and 45 minutes long, so for us we were off to bed.
