12. Is Pammy to blame for Ms Comey?

A counterview … while this may have been technically how it started, it was still “arranged” and Pammy had the power to stop it once she was in position … if DJT said yes of course.

11. Total incompetence, plus arrogance

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Hamilton_Woman

“If nothing else, ‘That Hamilton Woman’ proved two things: Vivien Leigh is just as beautiful in black and white as she is in the glorious technicolor of ‘GWTW’; and when it comes to the cinema, her acting technique on screen is every bit as expert as Laurence Olivier’s. (In fact, Olivier himself admitted this when he saw a screening of her Scarlett O’Hara performance.)

At any rate, my main interest in seeing this film was that I learned it was Winston Churchill’s favorite movie during World War II, dealing as it does with the British admiralty and the threat of war and domination. As Lady Hamilton, Vivien Leigh narrates the story and since it is told from her viewpoint, she manages to dominate with her beauty and acting prowess. How she rises from abject poverty to become Lord Nelson’s mistress makes up the bulk of the story–which sometimes seems a bit unbelievable. However, since both stars were at the time married to others, one can easily see that these roles suited both of them to perfection. Surely, if anyone could identify with these characters, they could!

Slow moving in spots, handsomely photographed in black and white, it is interesting to note how very British Leigh actually was when not assuming a more American way of talking (as in ‘GWTW’) — proof indeed that she was a good actress. Of all of her films after “Gone with the Wind”, I prefer her in ‘Waterloo Bridge’ (with Robert Taylor). Following that, I would choose this one.

Some of the ships are obvious models–but other than that, the production is a handsome one. Worth seeing for the two stars alone.”

(1130) Late brunch or early lunch. (1215) afternoon all. Looking for a film … part two of Isilme tomorrow morn. (1216) Late note from Steve … it’s passed 219 to 211. (1221)

Isilme and that time of year again (part one of two)

Part two is here

It’s that time of year again. Our strawberries have not been that prolific, but furnished us with strawberries to have with cream the other day. The remaining few will likely go into a trifle. We had a few raspberries and yoghurt last week too.

Then the blackcurrants started to ripen. Well, they were well-ripened by the time I got around to picking any. The birds were certainly upset. The jackdaws were doing low fly-bys and squawking. This set the sparrows off.

The sparrows were sitting on the guttering angrily chirping at me. Then one, a teenager no doubt, decided to risk it and flew into the bay tree. Some of the blackcurrant branches poke up through the bay tree.

Teen sparrow was chirping as if to say, “I’m going to show her. I’ll take some of the berries. I’m going to do it. I’m going to do it” The others were chorusing, “No, come back, don’t risk it. Don’t risk it!” You could hear the urgency in their chirps.

I walked round the tree (the long way, just to sneak up) and tried to see Teen sparrow but the others obviously alerted him and he flew off before I got to see him. And then there was complete silence.

 

(0557) Sun is coming up over there, so maybe a fine day … always that poisoned mist and yet the sky wants to go all cumulus and blue. Low wind, high pollen, medium uv, low pollution, top of 19C.
