Hi, Rusty!
Oh dear! I am sorry about your friends' relative in the HDU.........
I hope they have better news soon.
Yes, "My heart Will Go On" is the main theme song from the film "Titanic."
And yes, we did go to see it....... my husband doesn't like going to the cinema, and I had persuaded him to go, as I had high expectations (completely unrealised) of the film.
Many years ago, I had previously seen " A Night to Remember " - with Kenneth More - and had liked that.
It was certainly a much more realistic portrayal of the disaster!
I was totally disillusioned with the film "Titanic"!
Some people around us were crying......
But if anything, I found it rather amusing in parts ...there were even one or two places where I actually laughed!
I'll admit though that the photography was good...but that is the best I can say about it!
Did you see it?
Or " A Night to Remember"?

Hello, Pigale!
It seems to be being treated as a terrorist act.
The latest BBC email newsflash that I have received at 22.43 says 5 dead, 40 injured - and the terrorist is thought to be known to the police?
The casualty count is increasing.... a very sad time for very many people.

But the terrorist died on his hospital, didn't he?

Unfortunately it brings back bad memories;

But I agree that one should carry on living normally, without getting
too paranoïd, but being aware of suspect behaviour or of suspect parcels:

Take care when next you go to London!

sorry, meant to say 'on his way to hospital' of course!

Good morning, Elle!
Thank you for your thoughts on my pal's Mother in hospital.
Now, the Titanic.
I saw both pictures and thought A Night to Remember was much better.
The story line in Titanic was not realistic.
I always liked Kenneth More in films, too.
The theme music in Titanic is good, though.
It is a fine morning here.
It is still a bit frosty outside.
Off to get my paper now.

Good morning, Rusty!
Dreich here earlier...although the rain has ceased now.
Chilly!
I thought "Titanic" was ridiculous!
All that hype beforehand....I was expecting to see a good film......
Instead, I think it ranks as possibly the worst film I have ever watched!
I do like a realistic approach!
Yes, Kenneth More has some good films to his name...
"Reach for the Sky" - where he played Douglas Bader - was brilliant.
And I liked "The Admirable Crichton" - did you see that ?
The film was based on J.M. Barrie's play.
I am waiting to hear from my friend to see what she wants to do about tomorrow........
We had planned to go up to London......I am not sure whether that arrangement will still stand?
Ok, coffee and crossword now.......

Hello, Elle!
I have seen many films worse than Titanic.
In Braveheart there was a white van in the background in one scene.
I do not know Admirable Crichton.
Probably travelling in London may take a little longer after yesterdays events, but go ahead.
Anyway, it is a fine day here and I am off to wash my car.

Hello, Elle and Pigale!
Lassie has landed!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
Thank you for the update on Lassie!
I have tried to look in, but cannot see the nest - it is partially obscured - there must be a fault, I think?
I read the blog though, and apparently the two birds have not yet met up!
That will be something to which to look forward! I hope we can see it!
You missed a treat with "The Admirable Crichton"!
(It is a very old film; I must have been knee -high to a grasshopper when I saw it, and that was later, when shown on television)
I have only seen the film, which was a classic comedy, based on J.M. Barrie's (he of "Peter Pan" fame ) stage play of 1902.
Google it and read the plot......?
My friend has texted me, calling off our jaunt tomorrow.
She says she has "cold feet" about travelling up to London at the moment, which I can quite understand.
I think we shall wait a couple of weeks for events to settle down and then make another attempt to meet up.
Our plan was/ still is to see the Russian Art exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. We have until April 17th before it finishes.
So might yet make it!

Hi Elle, Rusty et al,

Thanks for the up-date Rusty; I feel frustrated because I had the nest on my screen for a fair while earlier on, but must have stopped watching just before she landed!

Just had a peep but no one in the nest at present;
