Honey I’m still free

Well Friday dawns, not really dressed as Friday particularly - more like Tuesday really, but we’ll give it a go and see what happens. Maybe it’ll surprise us. I do feel that maybe the ARF will persuade me but until then….

Movies with Amy Adams and what I think will be one of my movies of the year. I love it! It is beautiful, sad and profound. And when you come out you’ll want to go straight back in again. Which I will this weekend. It isn’t sci-fi like Star Wars, it is sci-fi like Contact, like Interstellar, warm, witty and intelligent. And has a joke about Sheena Easton.

And then! Let’s ARF with 1978. Evita, my favourite musical opens, Naomi James becomes the first woman to sail around the world single-handedly and on Radio 4, listeners got The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy and their MINDS WERE BLOWN. In the cinema it was Grease, Animal House and Superman. And on the radio?

What have you got Friday?
