Fiona's Quiet Life

It was the best fun i have had free for a long time.……the BBC put on a film fest­ival in Glas­gow Green , a large open air venue beside the river Clyde, it star­ted at 14:00. and fin­ished with two huge out­door screens show­ing spider man 3 start­ing at 19:30 and fin­ish­ing at 22:00. i was home by 22:06. the film was just a bit of fun and i wouldn’t have chosen to see it but i enjoyed the daft­ness of sit­ting on slightly damp grass dur­ing occa­sional bouts of drizzle with lots of other Glaswe­gi­ans of all ages watch­ing a big screen . the photo is people watch­ing the film.

there were all sorts of things going on . i watched a buster Keaton silent film while a man played piano all the way through. and i listened to talks by screen writers and dir­ect­ors, there wasn’t a moment in all that time that i was won­der­ing what to do. People were walk­ing around with the most con­vin­cing bloody wounds on their faces, and cyber­man from Dr. Who wandered among the people as if they owned the planet. there was a ’ big band’ play­ing music on the stage that the ‘proms in the park’ used last night , all in all a good day. Basil would have loved the music and the atmo­sphere. i took a photo of a young lady cre­at­ing bubbles and have emailed it to her . she likes it and is for­ward­ing it to her friends.….……If you double click on the pho­tos they get bigger.

should go to bed now as Mar­isa and i are going shop­ping for book­shelves tomorrow.
