wistful song...

Sunday morning
grey light sings
a wistful song of
summer colours on
other days #tanka pic.twitter.com/R8LwQO0UTd

an atmospheric space...

A stunning, atmospheric space. Love how the indoor ambience invites the outdoors to be a part of the magic...Love it so much...

legendary Christopher Plummer...

He told me that in the London theatre world of the 60’s that Finch had a fearsome reputation.
He’d come to the west end from Australia and had brought with him a certain inability to suffer fools combined with a deep unquenchable thirst the moment the curtain came down.

Finch followed the couple around the party making disparaging remarks and eventually the young woman had enough and said to Chris that they should leave. Not a lot of black cabs at that end of Chelsea late on a Sunday night, luckily though the young lady had her own car.

The journey underway Peter kept up a torrent of abuse from the back seat. About him, about her, about trust, truth, love, sex, talent...it was non stop.
At one point, somewhere near Sloan Square the young lady pulled the car to the side of the road and ordered both men to get out

— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) February 5, 2021

Chris told me he was chilled with fear. Peter had threatened him with physical violence a number of times and he felt for sure he was about to suffer a beating at the hands of someone who’s performances he had admired greatly. Too cruel. Finch turned to him, eye ablaze ...

I loved working with Chris on The Insider, he was just impressive. It was a travesty that his role didn’t receive an Academy Award nomination because everyone talked about and knew that it was amongst the handful of truly formidable performances that year.

— Russell Crowe (@russellcrowe) February 5, 2021

I reached out to him in 2012 after he won the Academy Award to say “ on behalf of Finch and I, welcome to the club”.
He laughed.

Rest In Peace Mr Plummer.
Good man. Fine actor.

I've read that Christopher Plummer was quite the pianist. Has anybody witnessed him playing? He was famous for entertaining the SoM cast at piano evenings while in a hotel in Salzburg.

Leyat Hélica...

Haven't found a 'weird' for some days...
But I think this one must be worth waiting for...
A helicopterish, boatish capsule car?
Perhaps a little too weird for people's taste...Only 23 reported as sold...https://t.co/V7nKTBX0T3 https://t.co/eo0QMB09gd

feel-good stories...

Feel-good stories never go astray in this life...

steamy weather...

And I went out to yonder gumtree hills to see Old Amos.
He was there, sitting in the shade of the apple tree.

I said, "she's a bit steamy Amos."

He looked at the hazy sun-lit hills and dug a thumb into his right wrist, "not real fond of fuckin February boy."

Fair enough...

I'm with Amos... Steamy weather in many ways...

Yes- the long suffering wife Matilda’s had it with the wood stove- time to get a microwave!
