I Am Out Early This Morning,

so straight on with today's post,


 the Internet is still painfully slow, also Google Chrome does not want to work anymore, it decides that it's customers have disappeared from the web, some times it can not even find it's own home page!

 Diana had cut back some of the hibiscus, so for me it was a trip to the flower shop,

as I thought it would be nice to have a few flowers on the table,

 for our Sunday lunch,

 and lunch is served, lamb chops with pigs in blankets and all of the trimmings,

 'Cheers!',

 as we sat opposite one of the aquariums so the fish received an extra feed or two,

for dessert apple and current crumble with custard,

 then it was feet up for Sunday afternoon television, first The Madness of King George although made in 1994, it is still a entertaining film and if you listen closely you will find out how Fortnum and Mason's was founded, as I wrote before when we watched it, 'the King in question was actually King George III, 


a great costume drama of the true madness of King George III, it is now thought that he had porphyria, which can be acquired or inherited, porphyria is a disorder of the blood where by porphyrins (and their precursors) accumulate to toxic levels in the body leading to various disorders, but back to the film, it is the story of King George III of England's slide into insanity, and the political and royal back stabbing which results from his incapacitation and to the inevitable question as to who is making decisions and ruling the country, a enjoyable if some what sad in places great movie',

next Awakenings, again a somewhat sad but enjoyable movie, it is in fact based on a true tragic story, the film is about an experimental drug and how it successfully awakened many patients from catatonic states which had lasted as long as 30 years, the tragedy was that the patients were locked in their own world, brought out of it by a miracle drug then watched helplessly as one by one they slowly slipped back into a living nightmare,

after our evening snack we watched some television on the cable net work, then rounded off the evening with one from Ripper Street, tonight's episode Threads of Silk and Gold, then for us we were off to bed.
