It Is Diana's Day Off Today,

so I will only be making one short post, 


and as soon as I post it we will be out, back to Thursday, I had a quiet but busy day, first a telephone call to BT, the shops new telephone provider over our latest bill, the usual queue waiting to be answered, after 30 or so minutes success, I was sent a number on my telephone to confirm who I was, I went through the query I had about the bill, only to be cut off!, so all of that again before the bill was rectified, I spent the rest of the day playing with some DVDs I made many years ago, using a program called Magix, but when I opened the programme it would not recognise the DVDs it had made, the programme said the DVD had the wrong codex!, so I spent the day trying to convert VOD and VTS into AVI, easy now I know how to do it, not so easy when I started! 

after my evening meal I watched an old favourite as Diana was at work, We're No Angels, a delightful comedy, a really nice Christmas story, with a bit of a edge to it, shortly before Christmas in 1895, unapologetic convicts Joseph (Bogart), Albert (Ray), and Jules (Ustinov) escape — along with Albert's pet viper, Adolfe — from the infamous Devil's Island prison in French Guiana. After dodging search parties, they seek refuge in the shop of Felix Ducotel (Leo G. Carroll), who is struggling to make ends meet under the overbearing supervision of his cousin Andre (Basil Rathbone). Given the spirit of the Christmas season, the trio decide to assist Ducotel, his wife Amelie (Joan Bennett), and their daughter Isabelle (Gloria Talbott) the only way they know how, after which Diana arrived home, so feet up for a coffee and a chat about where we were going to eat breakfast tomorrow, after a Midsomer Murder we were then off to bed.
