I realise the way your eyes deceive me

Happy Bastille Day tout le monde! Joyeux quatorze juillet n'est pas? Though apparently no one calls it Bastille day apart from the British, which is weird. Pass the Chablis and vive le difference!

Films today at midday because of the tennis with director Sophia Coppola talking about her latest film The Beguiled, a remake of a dodgy Clint Eastwood American Civil War picture. This one has Nicole Kidman, Colin Farrell and Kirsten Dunst and, actually, quite beguiling. Then we get into the ARF groove which kicks off with some 1973 grooves. Last of the Summer Wine starts here, Dark Side of the Moon is released (quite popular and long lasting) and the new Austin Allegro was the car to hope for (quite popular and less long lasting). At the cinema it's The Sting, American Graffiti and Papillon and on the radio? Songs with flares needed!
