Tuesday Was Another Quiet Day For Us,

in the afternoon Alex called by for a soft drink and a chat,

it was supposed to be cooling down with the onset of the cool season next month, running from November through to the end of February, but there was no sign of the weather getting cooler today, far from it, 

in the evening after our evening meal it was feet up for the evenings film, tonight Siberia, it looked so good, the story is about an American diamond merchant who travels to Russia to sell rare blue diamonds of questionable origin, as the deal begins to collapse he falls into an obsessive relationship with a Russian cafe owner in a small Siberian town, the treacherous world of the diamond trade from which he is unable to extricate himself closes in around him, the American desperately looks for escape in a world with no exit, it looked so good, diamond double dealing with Russian, South African and other violent parities all viciously trying to steal the diamonds, well it looked good, but as for the action? let me think of an example, I know, three years ago I bought some black paint for the front gate, the excitement I received watching the paint dry all afternoon was so more intense that the action in this film, and it was not only me, as the end credits started to roll, even Diana for the fourth time whilst watching, asked where the action was!

still all was not lost as we watched a few more installments of The Last Ship, and with a laugh and a chuckle at some of the clangers we were off to bed.
