Sunday 10th March 2024

Sunday.

And the good news is that with drugs, massage and taking things easy, my knee was pretty much pain free.

So we could go out for a walk and take snaps?

Yes, but the weather was to be dreadful and only likely to get worse.

Jools went swimming first thing, and so I had a shower and made breakfast, all ready for when she came home.

Not even the radio to listen to as there's a festival on 6 Music and the usual programming was suspended.

So, it was all a wait until the football started at one, with Spurs away at Villa, which ended 0-4, before the big game of the day: Liverpool v Citeh, which was a great game, every bit as anticipated.

Seventy It ended 1-1, which was about right.

We then sat down to watch Dune: Part 1.

I have not read the books, but remember David Lynch's version from over 40 years ago, and Sting in his metal alien underpants.

There is a lot of backstory and exposition to Dune, so the first half was a mess, but once they get down to the sand and spice, the film makes more sense and was enjoyable enough.

I do think the book is unfilmable due to the back story and politics, and would be better as a TV series, and whether I go to the cinema on Friday to see Part 2 is another matter.
