If you have Netflix, might I recommend Halston with a central performance by Ewan McGregor that is simply stunning. If you ever had any doubt about this mans ability to act then this role will put an end to that. For those of you of a more delicate sensibility there are some scenes of a sexual nature that some might feel uncomfortable with, I did but its depiction is a reflection of the times in which it is set.
So the Olympics have started and today sees the opening ceremony. I have been ambivalent about the games for some years. I did enjoy the London games and there are sports within the games that one would otherwise not see. Last time I got into synchronised swimming and love the gymnastics and the rhythm gymnastics. I even started to watch water polo, which looks a tough sport. The athletics are usually good but much of the other more well known activities that have now been accepted are often dull, not the cycling of course!
In these strange times we live in, it is difficult to have a true perspective on the state of the world (It’s bloody hard at the best of times!) I think we are going to see a lot of changes and many regular events disrupted and postponed for many years to come. Naturally like everyone I want this pandemic to be brought under control and for our lives to return to those pre- Covid days when we had our complete freedom. I’d also like Brexit reversed but I’ll take what I can. Unfortunately, as we all know you can’t turn back time and so live with this we must.
There I have avoided my usual daily rant about……………………..oops nearly wrote he who should not be named!
Stay well
