🔗 📚 Leaving

… now added to my ‘want to’ list (Leaving by Roxana Robinson)

… but separately the piece by Lefsetz is archived into my Readwise … lest I forget.

Gorgeous.

Sometimes Gallagher just nails it …

Stunning .. great job from Colin F .. but the homage to ‘noir’ yet modern, the direction, the cinematography, the colors, the lights, the nuance … everything. Just so good.

I have read that people loved the mid season ‘twist’ …if we are talking last scene in episode 6 .. yeah no .. I had that scene in my head for a couple of episodes prior, so no twist for me. In fact, it happened to coincide with when I thought the show had finished .. and I 🖇️ even posted that I was very disappointed with the ending (EEJIT I am).

Anyway .. all this to say … loved it. If you have 🍎 📺, whatever else you are watching stop - and go take a look.

Shed a Tear🔗 - William Gallagher

The DECORATOR stands back to appreciate his day’s work. The entire wall is now painted. Satisfied, he collects his snap-tin, paint, brushes, ladder, etc., lights a cigarette stub and walks off.

While he’s been achieving that painted wall, the film crew cast have failed to do anything at all. So much effort, so much energy, so much time, and nothing achieved whatsoever.

Completely unrelated, I’ve been sitting and typing in this chair for the past few days while four men put up a shed in our garden.

Thrutopian Futures anyone?

📺 Safe House

Meh. Look carefully you will see I didn’t dislike it. Equally, I didn’t like. I liked the premise - each series an entirely different cast, set of characters - even the Safe House itself was a different house (and yes - I did watch both) … but still. MEH.

🔗 When the city told him to hide his boat, he complied — sort of - The Times of London - sorry 🍎 📰 - just couldn’t resist. A fine example of creativity besting bureaucracy.

🔗 Obsidian derives its name from the shards of obsidian discovered in our vineyard during its initial planting. This unique volcanic glass, not native to Waiheke, was brought from Mayor Island by Māori tribes living in Onetangi. The obsidian was highly valued … by the native Māori for tools.

🔗 Simplified - though still a WIP.
