Sunday Lunch,

so time for a sherry and a read,


'Cheers!',

for our starter a dressed crab each,

 that I bought from Pearl Fisheries in the High Street a couple of days ago, 

and nice they were too,

on to our main course,

roast chicken, sans gravy for myself, with gravy for Diana,

for our dessert, apple strudel,

covered in custard,

eyes down and tuck in!

for our afternoon film Diana chose a real classic, one we had watched way back in 2011, M, not every ones taste in films, but one that I liked when I watched part of it many years ago before we bought this copy in Blu-ray, the film directed by Fritz Lang is about a child killer,

the killer is played by Peter Lorre, who was 'discovered' in this film, he went on to become an International star, in the film he is hounded by the police and the underworld, both of whom he thinks he has given the slip to,

but soon he realizes, the net is closing in on him and is accused by a blind beggar,

and his fate is sealed,

madness and self loathing over takes him, a great movie, the soundtrack is limited and many scenes have been added to the original with no sound at all, which is what the director Franz Lang wanted,

we followed that with Upside Down, or as my mother would say Downside Up, stunning visuals and a nice story, we rounded off the evening with three from Columbo, and with the end of them we were off to bed.
