Just a quick one, as I should really be sorting and ironing clothes, ready to pack tomorrow. I leave for Canada first thing on Friday, hurray! The people I'm staying with near Calgary both work in IT from home, so I may get a chance to pop in here and/or ML while I'm away, but we'll see ...

Over the long weekend, I went to see two films:

1) Notre Musique (Our Music), latest offering by Jean-Luc Godard. Martine says he's an old fraud. I knew I probably wouldn't like it much, but I don't like to miss an opportunity to listen to French. It's partly documentary in style, partly shot during a visit by J-LG to a culture festival in Sarajevo, and has a lot of references to Israel-Palestine. But quite why the three Native Americans keep popping up, I couldn't say.

2) Los Lunes al Sol (Mondays in the Sun), can't remember the director, leading actor Javier Bardem (also the lead in Mar Adentro - The Sea Inside). Enjoyed this a lot, although the premise is quite depressing: the day-to-day lives of a group of unemployed shipbuilders. A bit like Ken Loach, with more jokes.

That's all.

Annie, in case I don't catch you again before you go, hope you have a wonderful time in Canada (lucky you), and we're expecting to hear all about it on your return (or updates while you're there if you get the chance),
