Just off to the Broadway cinema to see a dutch film called De Tweeling. In english, Twin sisters. This is a film set in Germany on the eve of the second world war. I like going to the cinema because I can escape for a while in the dark and be told a story. I enjoy all kinds of films but I have a leaning towards foreign language films. My fave actress is Audrey Tautou and my fave actor Timothy Spall. I also like Tom Hanks and Scarlett Johansonn (prob spelt wrong but with Scarlett who cares). I may well have a cool pint of beer en route as the film doesn't start until 7.30. Tot straks, auf weidersehen and beintot mes amis de blog. Phil

How quick the weeks do go. I seem to be in the wars recently. having just got over feeling ill over the weekend I twisted my thigh last in rehearsals so today I am limping about with a grumpy look on my normally happy face and feeling desperate for my holiday in france in a couple of weeks. Finally I got the email I have been waiting for; a confirmation of my hotel booking. I was envisioning getting to sunny Bordeaux and finding my proposed hotel all closed for the season or forever. What a relief.
