the red circle - extravagant wedding

a few years ago i saw the french film le samurai which i really loved... alain delon speaks very little in it and it's very stylish and very good..

so last night i cycled over to the riverside in hammersmith to see le cercle rouge by the same director (not that i knew that, it just became apparent as the film moved along) with the pigs...

they'd seen the other film in the double bill as well, i shouted out PIGGY as i entered the cinema to find them and saw their smiling faces near the front... jean-pierre melville directed the film in 1970 (le samurai in 1967) - very good indeed -

we drank a few bombay sapphire g&t's in the bar afterwards and spoke... i don't see them very often and it's always a delight...

afterwards i cycled home through the nottinghill area, filming the bit where the carnival had been only hours before, right now rendering... i'll youtube it and post it later...



me & dinah got dolled up on saturday to go to the wedding of her uncle... her grandma giving a bitingly funny speech, her mum & dad similarly elegant - all of us 4 in fishhead hats (website not yet up & running but it will be)

we drank and chilled out... you know how weddings are... the vegetarian food was a disapointment (you know how weddings are)...

her & wfloopy(shaman) did a gig at the end of the day in a pub in vauxhall... they rocked... as ever... earlier we'd seen a pig being taken for a walk...

ok... too random... i'll be back later with the film...
