I watched two films today - both are on a theme of someone trying to find themselves - both had elements of loveliness, and elements of utter despair.
Firstly - "The Fruit Machine", and secondly - "Aleksandr's Price" ... both worth watching.
I watched a Socially Distanced performance of the march "The Red Shield" performed by the New York Staff Band.
I also downloaded a book from the Super Prestige Series which is being made available for those of us in lockdown. The book is about Rossendale Transport and was released for their centenary in 2007.
This week I had hoped to go the theatre to see Arthur Miller's "All My Sons". I saw "A View from the Bridge" at Farnworth Little Theatre a while ago. I wonder if the artistic director there took the same English Literature A-level course that I did! Of course the play was cancelled due to the need to keep a distance from each other - and that little theatre relies on every seat being sold to break even. I do hope these small theatres rise from the ashes when we are able to get out and about again.
Our government is claiming that there will be 30 million vaccines available by the autumn - I do hope so, but I wonder where I will be the priority for one of these?
