Good morning everyone

Some sunshine here though clouding over. Forecast is for weather to be more settled though slowly getting colder over the next few days.

I hope everyone has a good day

@slimfern possible films on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week:
Tomorrow at 13.25 "Helpmates" (1932) a Laurel & Hardy short which I don't think I've mentioned to you before.
Tuesday 22.50 "The Dare Devil" (1923) very short (under 10 minutes) Ben Turpin comedy.
Wednesday 9.30 in the morning "Sudden Fear" (1952) a film noir Starring Joan Crawford, Jack Palance and Gloria Grahame in which JP marries JC then plots with GG to get rid of JC. No chemistry between Crawford and Palance but that adds to the tension.
Wednesday 16.55 "The Secret of Convict Lake" (1951). An unusual western about a falsely convicted felon and a group of inmates escape prison and descend upon a town inhabited by women. Glenn Ford, Gene Tierney & Ethel Barrymore. Ethel Barrymore's brothers were John and Lionel and Drew is her niece. Also in the cast is Cyril Cusack, the Irish actor who was mainly in British films and father of Niamh, Sinéad, Sorcha etc.

Came across on Youtube an extremely very short film of Shirley Temple made when she was 4. Even though it was only about 10 minutes long I couldn't watch it all as it was dreadful and by modern standards distasteful.

Different times El

Despite many still, society has come a long way

I've seen virtually none of her films. I would have seen her in John Ford's classic western "Fort Apache" (1948) (John Wayne & Henry Fonda) where she played Fonda's daughter but that's when she was 19.

As you say, times have changed

Just bought next week's Radio Times. BBC One and ITV schedules are yet to be decided for Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday and Friday thanks to the football

Currently working on a client's tax return. I had sent him 2 copies of a list of the information I need, specifying that 1 copy was for him to complete and 1 copy to return to me with his replies to those items on my list which were queries.
Going through what he's given me. Yes, there's one of my copies.

But has he answered any of my queries?
Not unless he's used lemon juice to write his answers.
Hold's copy up against the light.
Nope

No, he's employed, he lets one house which is why he has to do a tax return
