It Was A Glorious Sunday,

warm, no wind, blue skies, birds singing, that sort of thing, 

as I settled down to my Sunday read,

before a delicious crab claw salad, 

'Cheers!',

after a long break our main course gammon ham, with gravy for Diana,

sans gravy for myself, 

for dessert a treat we have not had in a long time,

sliced peaches and ice cream, 

in the garden, 

the foxes were almost in full force, the two adults, one with a damaged rear leg that was limping, 

and one of the youngsters, also with a limp on the same rear leg, 

they have learnt to make me take a guilt trip, every time I pass the window they stop and look, 

so I just have to throw out another handful of peanuts, we spent the afternoon and early evening with Columbo, a few episodes we had not watched before, or a very long time ago, after a snack in the evening one of two films the first,

I had watched a small part of The Haunting, about 8 days ago before I left Diana watching it, as it happens she only watched a little more before looking at one of the Asian programmes she likes, the next day Diana mentioned she would like to see the whole movie, so I bought it on a DVD as I mentioned before apparently it was pretty scary dairy, this from one reviewer:

"After watching "The Haunting" 1963, I slept with my hands under the covers for 3 weeks. I was alone in the house, very late at night. Every sound amplified.. I was a full grown woman. For Pete's sake, I have watched almost every monster movie made. Even the original "Wolfman." Hummm, I could handle this. Wrong! I have never been so frightened in my life. Who or What was holding her hand??...The door at the top of the spiral stair almost gave me a stroke. This movie made a believer out of me. The sound effects, the lighting, the "breathing door", plus the fact it was Black and White.. The house, well don't ask me to attend a dinner party there. You will be eating alone. Perfect movie for Halloween. I give this movie a "10","

well it was pretty good considering its age, and what movie goers in 1963 were used to, we followed that with a real comedy,

Hot Shots! a total fun fest from start to finish, if you like word play and especially slapstick humor, almost a tribute in so many places to Laurel & Hardy, with Lloyd Bridges playing the accident prone Oliver Hardy, by now it was late, so for us we were off to bed.
