Mr Crisp

 What a beautiful morning. I have just finished some bunting which I started ages ago but didn't get round to completing the job. I have a lot to do, sorting out the garden, I bought some new plants that need potting up. Some will go in the beds to fill in the bare patches.  I might fit in a walk later. 

Last night I did something that I haven't done in a long time, I watched a film. it appeared on my side bar, it is just over an hour long. I made time to watch it. I might have seen it before but it was a long time ago, probably forgotten most of it by now. 

John Hurt was a very fine actor, I like all of his films. In this one he plays Quentin Crisp, it's the second part of his life, An Englishman in New York. So I put my feet up, relaxed in my posh office chair and immersed myself in the New York scene. 

I might re visit the first film, A Naked Civil Servant, as I think there is a lot to be learnt from his philosophy on life. 

I won't put the video here, you can find it on yooootoooob if you copy and paste the link into your address bar. .

Now I will go out into the garden and sort out the plants I bought, and decide where to put them. Enjoy your weekend. Toodle pip.   ilona

  1. I loved Quentin Crisp's attitude to housework. It went something along the lines of "after the first 6 months it doesn't get any worse."

    1. That story sticks in my mind when I look around my house. He said after four years the dust doesn't get any worse. I am testing his theory.

    2. Ilona: The theory definitely works. Just make sure you don't move anything, such as an ornament, without putting something else in its place.

  2. Very good film John Hurt was a brilliant actor. I keep saying to myself I must do some dusting or whatever and with other chores to do as I care for my disabled husband and two cats run out of time and end up not doing that job. This happens a lot and is frustrating so Quentin Crisp has got a point its not that important after all. Hope you and the lovely fur babies are fine. Love Liz Amy and Benny.xx
