It Was Diana's Day Off,

there were a few things that we needed for our upcoming holiday, 

so on to a 354 bus it was and off to Bromley, we walked past The Partridge, 

and Primark, 

no stalls in the precinct today, 

our first port of call, a few necessities and then we went our separate ways, Diana to a few shops for clothes, for work and our holiday, for myself, 

liquid refreshment, The Greyhound beckoned!

when Diana arrived it was time for a late meal, chicken strips for Diana, 

scampi and chips for myself, a J2O for Diana a bottle of red for myself,  'Cheers!', the bill came to £29.16,

back onto a number 354 bus and we were soon in the park walking home, in the evening we decided on 2 films, firstly,

Blazing Saddles, more fun to watch if you are with a lot of friends, but it still brought a smile or two watching it again, it seems strange to think that when I first watched it in a cinema I was 25 or so years old, crikey 51 years ago! and there are still so many moments in the film for myself, leaving the camp fire meal alone, which speaks for itself to one side, that made me chuckle, such as when towards the end of the film Hedley Lamaar opens a bathroom door, and looks around at total chaos, and then mouths the silent words, "What the *%$^!", priceless, we followed that with,

 The Madness of King George, (actually King George III), a great costume drama of the true madness of King George III, it is now thought that he had porphyria, which can be acquired or inherited, porphyria is a disorder of the blood where by porphyrins (and their precursors) accumulate to toxic levels in the body leading to various disorders, but back to the film, it is the story of King George III of England's slide into insanity, and the political and royal back stabbing which results from his incapacitation and to the inevitable question as to who is making decisions and ruling the country, a enjoyable if some what sad in places great movie, by the end of the film it was late, then for us we were off to bed.
