We Had A Quiet Morning,

then at lunch time, 

a read and a sherry,

chicken noodle soup for starters,

followed by roast lamb, with gravy for Diana sans gravy for myself,

'Cheers!',

for dessert a mixed berry trifle,

in the afternoon one of the franchise we had not watched for a long time, Jurassic Park, what can I say? brilliant at the time and still great to watch now, which we followed with a couple from Columbo,

image BBCiPlayer, then a real treat, Planet Earth III this episode titled Humans, apparently we, (humans), can all grow crops in warehouses, vertically, it was a scene from a sci-fi movie, but one glaring truth was ignored, the cost of the electricity to run the place! but the episode was so well filmed, some of the shots stunning, 

we followed that with a dated classic, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp, we meet General Clive Wynne-Candy, in his old age at the beginning of the film, before he travels back 40 years to the Boer War and retraces his life, showing how attitudes towards war had become more brutal as time went on, conveniently missing a shameful part of UK history, the setting up of concentration camps for the Boers, from the article “The conditions in the camps were appalling. No preparations had been made for their establishment; dysentery and malnutrition were rife and death rates, particularly among young children, were horrific” there are harrowing accounts of “the fact that conditions were so bad that many Boer women handed their babies over the barbed-wire fences to South African women who were concerned at their plight”, American newspapers, meanwhile, referred to “British death camps”. It has been estimated that 25,000 died in the British concentration camps, after which we were both off to bed.
