So far here, it's been rainy rather than pouring down but looks as if it will be wetter for much of the rest of the day.

Slim, I hope you don't get flooded by that river

I think I've completed my stage one work on that complicated client's accounts, Stage 2 won't be until May/June time.

Nope no chance of being flooded, unlike those who live closer.

Well done on completing stage one of your work El
Time for a holiday until stage two maybe?

Good morning everyone

Still raining here but forecast to come to an end in a couple of hours and more settled weather arrives.
As mentioned by the Met Office, it's been the wettest March in England since 1981.
The local weather recording station about a mile from my house recorded 113.2 mm of rain for March.

I hope everyone has a good day

Slim, not much of interest on the Talking Pictures tv channel during the coming week.

On Tuesday at 3.35 in the morning there's a film called "The Mysterious Mr Davis" which is an early film featuring Alastair Sim. Not a recommendation as it seems to be a bad film. It seems that it was made in 1936 but held back from release until 1939 when it was released as part of a double bill. It was directed by Claude Autant-Lara, the French director, making a rare British film.
On Thursday at 16.25 there's "Return to Yesterday" (1940). Drama about a man torn between returning to Hollywood and staying at a small theatre company in a seaside town. Set in thew last summer before WW2. It was filmed at Teignmouth.
On Friday at 17.00 there's another Lone Wolf film "The Lone Wolf Meets a Lady" (1940).

Thank you El

I'm interested by the film shot in Teignmouth, if only to see if I can recognise any of the scenery

I finished watching the 'Lone Wolf' you posted about last week....it was alright, so I might give this one a look

I think that much of the film was shot at the Ealing Film studios is London so don't expect to see a lot of Teignmouth
Incidentally, the film was adapted by a play called ""Goodness, How Sad!" written by Robert Morley, better known as an actor. His acting career started in theatres, touring regional theatres, writing some plays such as this one, and when work was short he would be selling  vacuum cleaners, During that time he started his own repertory theatre (with another actor, Peter Bull) at Cornish seaside resort of Perranporth. So he may have come up with the idea for that play from his own experiences.
