Some 1941 British film on Talking Pictures called "Spring Meeting". Names of characters in it include:
Tiny Fox-Collier (played by Enid Stamp-Taylor)
her son Tony Fox-Collier (Michael Wilding)
Baby Furze (Nova Pilbeam - that's her real name and she was the lead actress in a couple of early Hitchcock films)
and Aunt Bijou (Margaret Rutherford ).
I think it's some sort of romantic comedy based on a play of that name.

Evening all

Another hot day. I did my ironing at 8am, while it was still relatively cool.

I hope you’ve all had a good day and managed to stay cool.

I see that Talking Pictures is showing the 1940 film "Contraband" this evening.

It was directed by Michael Powell. It has the same leads as his better known film "The Spy in Black" (1939) - Conrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson.

It's the only Powell film of note which is not available on DVD (other than a Region 1 import from the States).

Too soon to know if it's the US version which was cut by 8 minutes.

Still no rain here, as yet

None here either.
BBC still showing thunderstorms from now for the rest of the day whereas Met Office has dry for the rest of the day.

Could do with a bit of rain

Currently its cloudy, occasionally sunny but always breezy

Met Office now showing thunderstorms heading this way - looks as if they could be here for a couple of hours so a lot of rain.

I like the elephants and horses photos

Evening all

It has been 25 degrees today but there has been a nice breeze.

I forgot to say yesterday that Mr Y has been nagging me to bake him a Mary Berry orange cake and I finally made it for him. It turned out pretty well, if I do say so myself.

Love the pics, El.

I hope you don’t get the thunderstorms, gents.

Hi Yogi

Its been 22 degrees here for most of the day. Cool, occasionally sunny and breezy. No rain yet though

Three lots of washing dried

I always had the impression that you was  good cook and now you’ve proved it

I have had a good day. I hope you have too

Hi Moonie 22 is a bit better, not boiling hot

Well done on getting three loads done.
I always thought I was a rubbish baker but Mary Berry recipes seem to be foolproof

You can say that again

Thanks Yogi

🤔 Nope, nothing is foolproof. It’s always the person doing the job that has the skill to get it right

What are the guitar like instruments called El?

Moonie, they are baroque guitars which were the type used at the time. They have 5 strings rather than 6.

The Baroque period of music was from about 1600 to 1750. J S Bach was a composer of the late Baroque period.
Here is his Bouree in e minor
Don't have the volume high if you play this
