Sunday Has Raced Around Again,

so time for our Sunday lunch,


starting with a sherry and a read, now up to page 250, as it happens I have ordered another couple of books, but more of them when they arrive and I have finished this one,

for our starters, spring rolls,

excuse fingers!

for our main course 30 day aged beef, which tasty and not tough at all, with gravy for Diana,

sans gravy for myself,

eyes down and tuck in, 

for dessert, 

tiramisu with ice cream, after our meal we listened to music, then decided on a afternoon/evening of horror, we opened The Ultimate Hammer Collection housed in its own box, 

we started with Plague of the Zombies, frights aplenty, and it has aged quite well considering it was released in 1966, as I happens I actually went to the cinema and watched this and all of the following films on the big screen,
we followed that with Rasputin: The Mad Monk, again released in 1966, apart from a few things, like Rasputin was murdered, this is not a historical film, but what fun it was to watch it again, if you want to read what really happened have a look here

for the last film of the evening, Dracula: Prince of Darkness, it was again released in 1966, a bumper years for Hammer, as it happens some of the sets were the same in a couple of the films, the iced over pond and the courtyard the same in both this film and Rasputin, but us happy cinema goers forgave Hammer for that! what a horror fest tonight was! we rounded off the evening with one from New Tricks before we were of to bed.
