During The Day I Called In To See Steve,

who as usual was very busy,

he owns a technical dive facility, the good news is that we are having lunch tomorrow,


 we watched a DVD in the afternoon, then it was glad rags on,


a few days ago we bought a couple of tops in the market, so this evening Diana wore one over her dress,


 but first a self portrait of Diana,



 then Diana took a picture of us,


 next into the Secrets taxi,


 to Ali BaBa,


 the reason Diana brought the new top along is that the air conditioning can sometimes be a couple of degrees cooler than other restaurants,


after poppadoms for starters we ordered some okra, or lady's fingers as they are some times called,


 along with a prawn puri that we shared,


 'Cheers!',


at one stage we were the only customers in the restaurant, but it soon filled later in the evening,


we then had the main courses of chicken tikka massala, butter chicken and peas pullao rice, delicious,


 a quick picture,


 or two taken by one of the waiters,


 the good news was that the new top kept Diana warm,

another shot out side then it was time to leave for home,



in the afternoon we watched the second of the four part BBC series Wild Weather, we had already seem part one, wind, so now it was part two, wet, fascinating stuff, 

Silverado was our first film, made in 1985, but like most westerns it has not aged, the four strangers, (well two were brothers), become heroes righting wrongs as they head into the sunset,


a gamma ray experiment goes wrong, transforming a normal guy into a giant green-skinned hulk whenever his pulse rate gets too high, in The Incredible Hulk, special effects galore!


to round the evening off The General's Daughter, what can I say? for me a brilliant film, the naked corpse of Captain Elisabeth Campbell, daughter of Lieutenant General "Fighting Joe" Campbell, is found staked out on the urban warfare range of Fort MacCallum, army CID detectives and ex-lovers Paul Brenner and Sara Sunhill are called in to investigate, believable story line with captivating music,





when the DVD had finished I played Diana the original music that some of the soundtrack had been taken from, on a CD I have from the Library of Congress called A Treasury of Field Recordings, the two main tracks used are Rock Island Line by Kelly Pace for the original click here, and Sea Lion Woman by the Shipp sisters, for the original click here, from the movie here, I hope the links work! with that we were off to bed.
