Lockdown day #76

Another lovely hot lazy day. 

I met up with Alan and we went for a walk in Moston Vale - which was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning.  Well it was, except I had an encounter with a rodent ... which was not so nice.

I was sent links to the 2005 development works in Moston Vale, to make it what is to today.  Apparently Moston Brook is culverted and runs 30ft below ground.  There is a path with blue colouring on it - and this follows the course of Moston Brook.  You learn something every day!

I did some research for the book on Midland Red I am putting together, and had my Sunday meal late today - it was too hot to cook earlier (well that is my excuse) - today was pork, corn and scrambled egg & cheese.

I watched a film - another in a theme of films about Christian intolerance ... this time called "Impossible Choice" - a bit of an odd film, but well worth watching.  There is a facebook page for it too.

Lockdown day #73

What a beautiful day - only wish I had been near the sea, or in the hills, but of course I was stuck in my little corner of the world instead.  Of course, once the lockdown is finally over we shall have a fortnight of rain!

I walked 3km, over very familiar territory, and spent some time on my balcony overlooking an industrial estate.  I did some more historical research and watched a very silly film.

The film, called "Don't Take It to Heart" tells the story of the Earls of Chaunduyt (pronounced "Condit") who have the surname Bucket (pronounced  "bouquet").  I wonder if the producers of "Keeping Up Appearances" had also seen this time, and got the idea from that.  Anyway, it was frivolous nonsense, and perfect for a summer evening.

Later in the evening I watched another classic war film "Night Train to Munich" and downloaded The Australasian Journal of Salvation Army History for March 2019.
