After Diana Left For Work In The Afternoon,

I played with a few more photographs, 


from the Funfair folder, 

I have to say looking at them on the blog, they look just sort of average, but when I print them out on a piece of A3 paper, they take on a different look altogether, playing over, time for a Outback Opal Hunters, I did not watch a Deadliest Catch, I went straight on to watch, 

the second half of Birdsong, which is a TV mini series, I watched the first part yesterday evening, it is a drama set before and during WWI. It was as good as the first, but this one even more melancholy than the first, brutal, sweet and sad, after which a film we had both watched and enjoyed,

Fargo, we had watched the film before, this is what I wrote then,
 

 'although the titles say it is based on a true movie it is not, but two similar events depicted in the movie did take place, an urban legend even says that people have gone to search Minnesota for the briefcase of money, but what did happen was that the plot has elements of two well-known Minnesota crimes, in 1962, a St. Paul attorney named Eugene Thompson hired someone to kill his wife, Carol, the sloppiness and brutality of the crime attracted great attention, then in 1972, Virginia Piper, the wife of a wealthy Orono banker, was kidnapped, a million-dollar ransom was paid, one of the largest in U.S. history, Mrs. Piper was found tied to a tree in a state park, two men were convicted of the crime, but were acquitted after a re-trial, only $4,000 of the money was ever recovered, so that, supposedly is why people are still looking for the other $996,000!'

if you have not yet watched the movie, give it a try, it was remarkably entertaining, after the film finished I picked up Diana, then feet up for a coffee, chat and some strawberries as we watched part 4 of King & Conqueror, after which we were off to bed.
