Sunny start to the day here but we could get a little rain in the afternoon
Enjoy your day everyone
Clouded over here now and might get a bit of rain 
Met Office think there might be a mini heatwave next week 
@El Loro posted:Clouded over here now but so far no rain, The Met Office rainfall map shows that there was a deluge shortly after 4 pm just to the north of here, would have been around Tewksbury,
We had a sprinkling here around midday El...but tbh if you blinked you'd have probably missed it 
Disappointing weather for the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Paris yesterday ...
Good morning everyone
A sunny day here and no rain forecast. Met Office temperatures for Monday to Wednesday have highs of 28-29° but BBC's forecast are 27°, 27° & 26°. Heatwave threshold is 27° for my area so Met Office forecast a heatwave but BBC doesn't.
I hope everyone has a good day 
Slim, little of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.
Tomorrow at 16.05 is "Summertime" (1955). It's been on television before but I don't think I've mentioned it to you. Bittersweet romantic comedy of an American spinster (Katharine Hepburn) going on holiday to Venice and meets a married man (Rosanno Brazzi), Although one of David Lean's less famous films, it was a major film in his career. Until then he had made British set films, the last being "Hobson's Choice". "Summertime" was his first film made abroad, his next film was "Bridge on the River Kwai". "Summertime" was reportedly Lean's favourite of his films.
@El Loro posted 21/7/24:Watched "And Then There Were None" last evening, a very good film with a touch of black comedy. Even though I hadn't seen it for many years I still remembered whodunnit.
Strangely enough Talking Pictures are showing "Ten Little Indians" (1965) tomorrow which is closer to a remake of that film rather then Agatha Christie's novel though set on a mountaintop mansion.
And Talking Pictures are showing yet another remake tomorrow, the 1974 one called "And Then There Were None" (Oliver Reed, Richard Attenborough)

Jack Nitzsche & Captain Beefheart;s "Hard Workin Man" for the 1978 film "Blue Collar":

Both clips audio only. Lyrics different but the music had very obvious similarities.

To the untrained ear one could easily think they are the same tune
A Yotube clip which is a test to see where you are on a scale of 0 to 15 of tone deaf or a good musical ear. 15 questions which begin easily and get progressively harder. Lasts just under 12 minutes. It's intended for non-musicians rather than musicians.
You might want something to write on to keep a count of how many you get right.

Well done El

Slim, I've spotted that the Talking Pictures tv channel is showing "Rawhide" (1951) tomorrow afternoon. Normally, I wouldn't mention westerns to you but this film is as much a noir thriller as a western. Set at a stagecoach station where there's the man who is in charge (Tyrone Power) and a single woman (Susan Hayward). Then the station comes under siege from 4 desperate outlaws.. The film has nothing to do with the tv series of that name. The script was by Dudley Nichols who wrote the script for the original "And Then There Were None". So it might be worth watching.

I remember watching this as a young girl and being scared of Jack Elam's character El
