Robert Hughes, and BBC Autumn Schedule

Another hot stinking day on but should we complain really after the crap summer we have had so far.

I did a quick mystery shop visit to Faversham yesterday afternoon after my morning stint at the Office. I was going to do some visits in Bromley but decided it was too hot for me to bother with and anyway they can be done towards the end of the month.

It was sad to hear the death of art critic Robert Hughes. He blew away the cobwebs of the pretentious pedlars of junk masquerading as art. He argued brilliantly that where much modern art is concerned, much that was peddled as art was facile rubbish. He also explained art in understandable terms without the elitist jargon that pervades the culture surrounding it.

Last few days of the Olympics, and although we have done exceeding well as a nation from the medals we have picked up, I for one will breathe a sigh of relief. Normal television service will be resumed.

For a start, we will have the return of Dr.Who, and some interesting dramas in the BBC Autumn schedule, as well as a second series of The Hour starring the very attractive Romola Garai. Romola starred in the film “Atonement”, which I watched recently on DVD, another purchase from one of my charity shop visits.

Plenty to look forward to, as well as the weekend in Rutland next week.
