Cass and I have both enjoyed the day, partly because it is dreary old day outside and very uninviting. The surf has been sloppy and unappealing too, so what to do? We did make a sortie out last evening to go to one of our favorite restaurants, Aubergine, and it didn’t disappoint. After that, we went across to the cinema complex and saw the very quirky, entertaining movie called “The Men Who Stare At Goats”. It had the proverbial galaxy of stars, all doing something more bizarre than their peers,. George Clooney, Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges were just some of them. The plot is far too complicated and strange to describe, but Cass summed it up quite neatly when she said this morning that the main theme appeared to have been, “Please be nice to one another”, yet they went to very convoluted lengths to say it! Well worth a look though, quite thought provoking.
I’ve been drafting another article all about reading, electronic readers, libraries and sustained silent reading that Gurecki and I will publish somewhere hopefully. We take it in turns to get the first draft out and then pick away if necessary (often we think it is not). It’s good to collaborate on these things though: we think it adds a touch more gravitas to our drippings! With a PD day coming up for both of us tomorrow, hopefully I’ll get some time to “take some notes” with the laptop while some “expert” is droning on…might get a bit more done.
Well, that’s about it for us this week….a very standard week at work and neither of us got motivated to plan anything special for the weekend…maybe next week! Photos are from our day a while back on the far side of the Danshui river at Bali. I'm reading The Colossus of Maroussi written by Henry Miller in 1939...it is absolutely brilliant.
