Idle Chatter: Nacido y Criado, Jeremy Clarkson, Village Renovation ,bread...and FINALLY MY FIELD!!!!!!

Nacido y criado (2006) Theatre Clwyd this evening.
Is a moody Argentinian movie which strangely has similar themes to Will Smith's I am Legend. Affluent designer Santiago (Guillermo Pfening) suffers a terrible car accident with his wife and daughter. Running away from his inner demons, he becomes increasingly unstable when working in a bleak Patagonian airport. This slow moving film is incredibly well shot by Guillermo Nieto) and in its own ponderous way, mirrors the more flashy mainstream vampire film with its themes of isolation,grief and guilty insanity. At times Nacido y Criado is as uncomfortable to watch as the bleak, harsh and unforgiving terrain of rural Patagonia, but as a study of a man in torment, it is at times riveting cinema.

"Clarkson stung after bank prank " Was one of the headlines on the BBC News website, and I was greatly amused to read the following:-

"Jeremy Clarkson found himself unexpectedly donating to charityTV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has lost money after publishing his bank details in his newspaper column.
The Top Gear host revealed his account numbers after rubbishing the furore over the loss of 25 million people's personal details on two computer discs.
He wanted to prove the story was a fuss about nothing.
But Clarkson admitted he was "wrong" after he discovered a reader had used the details to create a £500 direct debit to the charity Diabetes UK. "........ Clarkson has made a career out of strong opinions and bullying so it was evern so satisfying to hear that his pomposity had backfired on him!

Nice to see that work has started on the renovation of the village hall. The whole place is shut for the entire year, as the Edwardian building gets an overdue facelift.

Delivered eggs this morning and have planted early garlic and broad beans AND I have made some wholemeal bread(pic) and vegetable soup as the weather is bright but ever so cold.

24 eggs today, which is a record as I have only 25 female birds! Hormones must be pumping with the arrival of the men! The egg money is being put aside to pay for my incubator, heat lamps and chick feeders, so when spring finally arrives, I shall be ready.

and finally,...................I have finally agreed the annual rent for the field....only a year late the price will be £15 quid a month! and my agreement ON PAPER will arrive tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!
I feel I can actually get stuck in with all my plans
