22nd July 2025


Rose tea at our favourite Iranian restaurant.  It was good, next to the glass teacup is a lollipop of brown chunks of sugar, you just whisk it into the tea. I had avocado and poached eggs with their strong feta cheese. I almost fancy collecting teapots again!

We went to see 'Some Like it Hot' at the Hebden Picture House, or Cinema of Sanctuary.  It was free with biscuit and tea included, all three of us.  The film just as good as I remembered it.  My daughter pointed out certain things which would not pass of what today we think of as right and wrong but even so it was pure comedy.  Tony Curtis made a very pretty woman, though I must admit the gangster killings were a bit macabre.

Jean has gone back to Calne on the train and Lillie who arrived yesterday from camping over the weekend somewhere near London is now sorting her camping gear for the Portugal jamboree which lasts a fortnight, she flies from Manchester tomorrow.

More plans from Adam the architect, this time for the exterior of the back elevation, he is thinking stone and iron to reflect the North.  I wonder if I have the nerve to ask him does he know Christopher Alexander's work approach.  My son had his books for his computer course which seemed strange at first, but now I see the sense of different approaches to computer algorithms.

  1. Maybe you should find on YouTube some episodes of Love thy Neighbour, or Alf Garnett for your daughter to watch. It's hard to believe now.

  2. I have often wondered about humour Andrew. Such a lot was based on cruel crude caricatures of ordinary people.
