Good Morning

Official Secrets

Last night i watched the 2019 docudrama Official Secrets on Amazon Prime. This film is based on the life of whistle-blower Katharine Gun who leaked a memo from GCHQ detailing that the United States wanted to eavesdrop on diplomats from countries tasked with passing a second United Nations resolution on the invasion of Iraq. She leaked a secret memo exposing an illegal spying operation by the United States of America, looking for information with which to gauge sentiment of and potentially blackmail United Nations diplomats tasked to vote on a resolution regarding the 2003 invasion of Iraq and thus the war would be am illegal one based on false information about WMD's.

The film stars Keira Knightley as the whistle-blower and Matt Smith (ex-Doctor Who) as the newspaper reporter from the Observer that broke the story from the leaked memo.

Thoroughly fascinating and entertaining it was plus a brilliant portrayal by Keira. I highly recommend it.

This is the trailer for this movie.

How Tidy

Slouching On A Sunday

A lazy day overall doing not much except for listening to music and reading the newspaper. I had a homemade chilli con carne for lunch. I also indulged in some of the chocolate i bought on Friday.

Music wise it has been a mix alright. Classical , jazz, improv, old rock or pop and so on.

The Band - Music From Big Pink
Nigel Kennedy - Bartok Violin Sonata
Jonathan Harvey - Tombeau de Messiaen
Don Cherry - Mu
Muhal Richard Abrams - Rejoicing With The Light
Penguin Café Orchestra - Concert Program



Well, back to some more music and reading.

Size Of Kent & Schedules

Travelling around Kent is no big thing and does not need overnight stays and London is a mere fifty or so miles away. I think pigshitpoet sees Kent as big as one of the states in the USA or Canada. Kent is just 1,442 sq. miles.

Compare this with USA -


Smallest State in US Total Area (Sq Miles)
Rhode Island 1,544.89
Delaware 2,488.72
Connecticut 5,543.41
New Jersey 8,722.58

So my agenda this week is -
Monday - Canterbury and Westwood Cross
Tuesday - Hempstead Valley and Chatham
and maybe Tonbridge.
Wednesday and Thursday - nothing at the moment.
These are work based days.

Friday - London perhaps - for leisure only.

Mess

Was there a word you always mispronounced as a kid?

What is the biggest mess you ever made as a kid?

What is the biggest mess you ever made as an adult?
