The Narrows

Clever, clever Vinny.

I have to admit, I didn't enjoy seeing Eddie Cahill incinerated. But at least Vincent didn't die.

The first picture was in the proportions chosen for me by PowerDVD, the second after I adjusted it. Both are supposed to be the "size of the original". I stuck with the second.

Cadillac Records

Small but perfectly formed. The cameo that is. Not Vincent. Perfectly formed maybe, but SMALL? Never!

Five Minutes Mr Welles

Sorry I got this arse about face - this is what I should have posted yesterday.

I tried to make up for it by capping more than I already had (which is not much) but I couldn't find the DVD that works till after I'd run out of time. (The other two are out of proportion.)

Swanning Around

Since our local stretch of river was landscaped, we have had a up to 30 ducks at a time gracing the waters, along with a heron or two (or given that one is definitely a youngster, or three).

Today, as I was throwing bread to some of the ducks by one bridge, another group was bunched around a large greyish bundle close to the other bridge a couple of hundred yards away. I thought it was one of the herons hunched up in one of the shallows, and I was quite concerned. Then it started to move, and my chin dropped. It was a young swan!

So, provided it manages to locate a mate, sometime in the next couple of years, we'll have cygnets along with the ducklings.

I can't stop smiling.

The Break-Up

NOt a good film. The only good bits (surprise, surprise!) were Vincent's. I love him doing gentle comedy.
