That was a very good Ken Loach film. True story as well portraying the underside of of Ireland between the wars and the Irish revolution.

Now see if I can stay up for this on Film4 UK. From the legendary director Ken Loach. 4*.

Well that had quite the terrifying end.

RIP The Late Show.

I know with the Mars sample retrieval meant to be going ahead all too plausible. If we do actually find even microbial life there I think we should leave it well alone 😲

Basically waiting for this tonight. S1 ep4 with Elizabeth Moss of The Handmaid's Tale.
But Ch.4 keep pushing it back later.
Started at 9pm then 10 and now 11.

Trent Rockets beat Northern Superchargers by 5 wickets in The Hundred 🏏.
Sorry for my Yorkshire relations.

You are very lucky to live where you do. I should never have left.

Indeed. We were well served in the UK with excellent European beers till Brexshit. Now they're prohibitely expensive. 🙄

Northern Superchargers post 124-9 against the Trent Rockets in The Hundred 🏏
Probably very sub par.

Particularly Bavaria. Would this do you ?

I correct you some of the German ales where a good 6/8 %. You just had to know where to go.

😳 Some of it was pretty good with their strict purity laws.

I used to live in Belgium where I met my wife so know all about their amazing beers. Really miss living there and Germany.

I know. I do actually prefer real ales such as Timothy Taylor's award winning Landlord but on my budget can't afford it in London.
So £1.10 a can of Morrisons export lager it is. It's not so bad.

That's enough 🥭 drink. Now for something also cold but stronger.

Southern Brave won by 9 wickets.
Birmingham Phoenix where terrible again. Not doing well in this year's The Hundred 🏏 without Moeen Ali.

👍

Crickey 🥵
42.5° C in Beziers where my other sister is tonight.

So in case you don't understand ° C 27° C today is 80.6 ° F.
Tuesday will be 33° C which is 91.4 ° F. That's too hot 🥵 for London.

Enjoying this on my 15th floor balcony in the 27° ☀️ here in West London today.

Birmingham Phoenix Men post 106-7 against Southern Brave in The Hundred 🏏
That's really not very good from my team.

Last night's Sturgeon moon as seen by my sister at Almscliffe Crag North Yorkshire.

Now this on Film4 UK.
93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Close to the 94% for Conclave but can't seriously see it being that good.

Well that was a very good film. Surprise ending and all without giving too much away.
Highly recommended by myself and my sister. (Both lapsed Catholics).
