i love youtube...six thousand buckets

Been under the weather somewhat last couple of weeks with the heaviest flu ever. Just caught the end of a Harold Pinter tribute on BBC4 the other night, and whilst curled up with duvet and lemsip treated myself to some youtube time and found the tribute online. Here is one of my highlights with the fantastic Douglas Hodge who Clive and I saw a couple of years ago in 'A Matter of Life and Death' at the National. Thought you guys may enjoy this snippet of Douglas reading from Pinters memoirs of his time as a jobbing actor...

Miss one, Get one

Although we felt that a trip to Ryde Lions 40 years celebration dinner at the Bembridge Sailing Club was a long way to go for a feast, we happily joined our Banbury Catenians for a super evening at the Littlewell Hotel in Bicester, last night.
Everyone is such fun and treated Mum right royaly. We set out at about 5pm as it started to get dark and I wasn't sure exactly where the hotel is situated.
We went to evening service at church and afterwards to the hotel where we all had drinkies. At 8pm we all sat down to a hot buffet and Mum duly tucked in while drinking a few glasses of red wine. There was a great choice of food and we both cleared our plates, until I decided I had better not have any more to drink as I did not want any more speeding tickets, so we bid farewell to our fellow guests and were soon home. Next ordeal was getting Mum ready for bed as she is not accustomed to too much red wine and she slept in the car, but we soon got her ready and she slept like the proverbial top. G'nght

Painting of the Ventoux from Flassan,

I think this is just marvellous, Julian. I often thought that the view of Le Geant de Provence is as good as it gets, viewed from Flassan. Love from Da
