I took when we were in Paris,
when we went their with Steve and Kai in June 2022, above is one of the huge scaffolds that were erected under the Eiffel Tower at the time of our visit, looking at it, how on earth would you start to build it?
and one of the bridges across the River Siene, I made both of these black & white, as I was doing this I was also copying CDs to my telephone and computer, before moving on to the evening a little update about the crows that attacked me, they also attacked one of the other flat owners here, and our immediate next door neighbor, plus a couple of other people that live nearby, apparently it happened a few years ago when the crows were protecting their nest or fledglings, back to Wednesday,
in the evening a read and a sherry,
for tonight bangers & new potatoes with broccoli, Diana had made it for me so I just heated it up, after which a film I was sure I had watched before, but such a long time ago,
The Way to the Stars, AKA Johnny in the Clouds, from the blurb:
'Life on a British bomber base, and the surrounding towns,
from the opening days of the Battle of Britain, to the arrival of the
Americans, who join in the bomber offensive. This movie centers around Pilot
Officer Peter Penrose (Sir John Mills), fresh out of a training unit, who joins
the squadron and experiences life during wartime'. I followed that with,
A Night to Remember, (1958), again from the blurb:
'A successful attempt at an even-handed portrayal of the White Star Line's (later part of Cunard) luxury liner R.M.S. Titanic's sinking from the standpoint of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller, himself the most senior of the ill-fated ship's Deck Officers to survive the disaster (Lightoller later went on to distinguish himself as a line British Naval Officer during the First World War and served as a Senior Naval Staff Officer on convoys during World War II'.
the part of Second Officer Charles Herbert Lightoller being played by Kenneth More, who starred in so many movies of this time, towards the end of the film I reflected on the fact that as we are going on a cruise next week, it was maybe not the best choice of film to watch! after which Diana arrived home, so we started to watch a Lewis that had just started, after which we were both off to bed.
