Watching the film Marvellous last week made me smile all over again. 
I would recommend it to anyone. 
A great attitude to life. 
Available on iplayer BBC2 

Finished "Little fires everywhere" last night (Prime Video)
Enjoyed this a lot. I thought it went off a little in the middle - it was in danger of sinking to soap opera type storylines but it really picked up again with a devastating and satisfying ending.

Just noticed that BBC2 repeated Marvellous on Wednesday - well worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it. Tells the true story of Neil Baldwin - a man tagged at school with “learning difficulties” who then went on to become a Circus Clown, Lay Preacher, unofficial student greeter at Keele University and Stoke City kit man. 
It’s a strange mix of fantasy, musical and biopic with a tremendous performance from Toby Jones playing Neil. On iPlayer for the next month....

Leo Sayer is one of those artists who years ago I avoided like the plague. I found him irritating and naff.
Listening to his songs again now I realise he was and is a real talent. Quite a body of work too.

Try the Samichlaus Schwarzes.
I picked 3 up from BeersOfEurope the other day, but be warned. They seem to disappear very quickly. Two appear to have evaporated already.

Latest thing for me is massive overuse of the word holistic.
Everything is holistic and has to be accompanied by cupped hands to show the whole.
Grr!
 

Having liberties stripped away and our ideas of normal torn up is very unsettling. 
But if you think about why we are doing what we are doing, it's because of an appreciation of the importance of life. 
Many are realising how much they take for granted and also how we spend time scurrying around doing menial tasks and so little time doing the things which bring joy and comfort. 
Do something today which brings a sense of achievement, something which makes you smile and something for somebody else. 
The latter is hugely important. If you can help someone else in any way you will start to feel better about yourself. 
It's a long journey sometimes but life is precious and starts today and each new day. 

Wife and I just managed to connect the football feed to the upstairs telly. 
Won't sound much to you young'uns but to us troglodytes it was like discovering fire!

Gosh that sounds big. You always come across as a measured young man and I’m sure the decision wasn’t easy for you.
Look after yourself. I hope you find the peace you are looking for.

Definitely. 
Saul is a complex character, living in the shadow of his illustrious brother and just trying to survive on his wits and cunning. 
Mike and Kim are great characters too. 
I think overall I enjoyed it more than Breaking Bad.

Thank you everyone... shes doing remarkably well all things considered... she is also our new good luck charm! We are 1 for 1 since shes been alive ?. 
This was her face yesterday when I told her we had beaten snakey's Milwall 3-2. 
Shes still not registered for coronavirus purposes do I'm arguing with the wife that we should call her Louise... then I'll 'accidentally' miss the s out on the forms. ?

White Lines. 
Murder mystery with a back drop of Ibiza/rave, Madchester, sun, sex...on a big budget. 
Open goal...unfortunately its Waghorn lining up the shot. 
Accents are just bizaare and grating, the narrative is based on a decent premise but handled with the poise and touch of a 6th form A-level English student. Dialogue is so derivative and clichéd its painful. 
Felt about as well grafted and believable as Hollyoaks. Just didn't care or believe in any of it. Good music, nice looking people, beautiful scenery...ultimately just very poorly written ( well the 4 episodes before I gave up) . 4/10

Okay so I was a little sceptical about this Karmeleit hype but I just had one with dinner and it was bloomin marvellous!
