Krill of Shadow

[ismo]

I woke up this morning and--SNOW. On second look, I think it was mostly a heavy frost. But there might have been some snow in it. Anyway, cold and white. I had a somewhat busy day, as I was meeting Madame for lunch at her favorite restaurant, the one where I worry about parking. It's ridiculous how I fuss about anything that I'm not absolutely certain I can do perfectly. I found a perfect spot and used the payment kiosk successfully, although I had to try it twice because the first time I didn't push the credit card in far enough. I'm always afraid the machine is going to eat it and not give it back--not entirely ridiculous, because it has happened. Not this time, though. Madame pulled in right behind me, and we had a pleasant chat and nice food before the place filled up and got noisy.

At home, I read some more ERB and had a Zoom with another friend. This evening, we went to the movies AGAIN. This time, it was a one-night premiere of a biopic about C. S. Lewis, "The Most Reluctant Convert," based on a play that mostly incorporates his own words. It was more like hearing a story read to you, with illustrations, than actually seeing a drama acted out, but the words are eloquent and evocative, so for a word person like me, it was enjoyable. The scenery was beautiful, with many scenes shot in Oxford. I've now seen so many movies shot on location in Oxford that I feel as if I've been there!

my best friend and i went to paris for her 60th birthday, and we fetched up at notre dame on our first day, tripping on jetlag, and she stared at it for awhile. "it's odd. i've never been here before, but it doesn't feel like the first time i've seen this."

yeah. like that.

The Lewis film sounds excellent.
