Time For Sunday Lunch,

first a read and a sherry,

I am still reading the latest issue of Private Eye, 

for starters huge garlic king prawns with garlic bread,

yummy!

for today duck with all the trimmings, with gravy for Diana,

sans gravy for myself,

'Cheers!',

for dessert a sherry trifle, after a break it was feet up for a film, and what better than,

Ben Hur? well worth watching if you have not already done so,

then a break, time for Easter eggs! a caramel egg for Diana, a Maltesers egg for myself, diet starts next week!

photograph Nine for Brands, we followed that with a LEGO Master, which was certainly different, 

we rounded off the day with another epic, Waterloo, the 1970 release, it had everything, 20,000 soldiers, a full brigade of Soviet cavalry, and vast numbers of engineers and laborers to prepare locations and facilities for 48 days of shooting in the Ukraine, to recreate the battlefield, the Soviets bulldozed 2 hills, deepened a valley, laid miles of roads, transplanted 5,000 trees, sowed fields of rye, barley, and wildflowers, and reconstructed 4 historic buildings. The production included Italian and Russian technicians, English and French advisors, Yugoslav stuntmen, and actors from America, Canada, England, Ireland, Italy, France, and Russia and a International cast, which includes Rod Steiger, Christopher Plummer, Virginia McKenna, Jack Hawkins, Dan O'Herlihy and Orson Welles, what a great film, after which we were off to bed.
