Another Quiet Day In Lockdown,

for us we spent the day watching television,

 but in the evening after our evening meal, I was out, with some of our neighbours, 

 up,

and down the road, for I think it is the eighth or ninth week of lockdown, going back inside,

 we watched Victim, based in the 1950s the film is set against the 'Blackmailers Charter' as it was known, at the time it was illegal to be queer, according to some sources 90% of blackmail cases were against homosexuals, who faced a prison sentence if exposed, and a totally ruined life on release, a tour de force by Sir Dirk Bogarde, as the lead in this far seeing film of the time, if you have not watched the film it really is a 'must see' the photography, language and lighting superb, and at the time a totally taboo subject, the film was forward looking in so many ways, when it finished we noticed a Agatha Christie mystery was being shown later,

 The Crooked House, a murder mystery which did not involve Poirot, which was a shame, enjoyable, but the film had a few flaws, not in the story, just in the fact that the main character of Charles Hayward was a financially broke and poor private detective, down on his luck and finances, so why was he driving a fabulously expensive and exclusive car, both then and now, a Bristol motor car? that and a few other minor fails, the producers of Poirot would never have allowed that to happen! we rounded off the evening with another from New Tricks, and just before the midnight hour we were off to bed.
