Here in the colonies, the day dawned clear and bright. The Chilean 'torture ship' has been anchored in the harbour for the weekend and looked particularly magical in the sun today. It was a good opportunity to clean up the front garden, as always an easy task in the Petone sand.
A stroll later in the afternoon was to meet friends at The Lighthouse for the movie 'Trishna'. Splendidly well done, though an ultimately harrowing tale. It is Thomas Hardy's 'Tess of the D'urbevilles' translated to an Indian setting. I have never read the book, but clearly old Thomas did not have great faith in the male of the species.
These three day weekends seem to go faster than a regular one. Never mind, this time tomorrow it will be hump day eve!
Some thoughts:
ReplyDeleteI'm listening to Alan Bennett's talking book (read by him) 'An Uncommoomn Reader'featuring HRH. Its delightful.
Chilean toture ship. Sad that something so beautiful has a dirty past.
Tess. I enjoyed the book. Less so the paedophilic film made by Roman Polanski. I might watch Trishna to see a different take on it.
