It is overcast. A far cry from yesterday. Typical British weather, up and down like a yo yo.

So, today, posting of Ebay sales, and perhaps a trip down Folkstone way.

Last night watched a DVD of Get Shorty, based on the Elmore Leonard novel. Described as a crime thriller comedy, it is a very good film, with a great movie soundtrack provided by John Lurie.

Overcast is okay. Rainy is not. :p
Hugs, Jon

I've heard about your famous weather. Well, I guess you've got to take what you get. I think we inherited the saying from Britain:

'Whether the weather is cold,

Or Whether the weather is hot,

We'll weather the weather we've got!'

...or some such :)

I enjoyed Get Shorty, and one of these days I'll read the original book that I've had sitting around for a few months. The followup movie, Be Cool, I did not enjoy as much.

I made a point of picking up Get Shorty on laserdisc. ^_^ Quite superb. (Apparently, the airline edit has the opening being a train crash..)
