First Thing Diana Was Out,

and into town, 

where she spotted this vintage 1940 vehicle,

 from the Claude Jessett Collection at Tinkers Park in East Sussex that formerly worked in Brighton and Hove, for more about the bus and its routes have a look here, Diana was going to Bromley, so we are going to have a late lunch, 

to meet with Wilma, who says Hi! 

they had a huge 3 hour breakfast! they had not seen each other for so long, arriving home late in the afternoon we had our Sunday lunch, unfortunately I did not take any photographs, but the lamb was delicious! then feet up for,

The Third Man, filmed in Vienna, I have lost count of the number of times we have watched it, here is what I posted the last time we did,

 

'and I would guess if you have not seen the film, you will recognize the theme tune of it in any event in the recording of it above, and if you have not seen the film here is a description of it, I mentioned that both Diana and myself would like to visit Vienna, and go on a Third Man tour, little did I know but there is such a thing, 

for myself and I guess many others the closing scene is the shot that means so much, after a long, almost two minute shot of her walk along the cemetery road, with Martens waiting for her, Anna ignores him, and the movie ends, this final long walk was apparently shot by uncredited German cameraman Hans Schneeberger, but due to the mindless pettiness and instance of British unions, none of the Viennese cinematographers units were allowed to have credits in the film,

the avenue as it is today, as an aside Orson Welles was the Third Man, apparently a difficult actor, but in this film he made perhaps one of the most well known ad libs, in a speech where he improvised whilst talking to Cotton,

and it was kept in the film, just a 20 second speech and totally off of the cuff, what a great film', why did we watch the film again? apart from the fact that we like it and it is a very enjoyable film to watch, we though we would look at some of the places in the film we hope to visit in a few weeks time when we go to Vienna, after a snack in the evening and a Columbo we went on to watch 2 more episodes of the excellent Vikings, before we were off to bed.
