From Pluto to Eden
Lorraine up very early and went off to pilates, then she and Beth went to visit Pat and Maureen.
In the no rest for the wicked department, I however, spent the day working on freelance stuff. I did break off to watch a Sky at Night special on Pluto, which was rather amazing. An interview with Brian May who was there at Nasa too. Having met him a long time ago, at least this was a tiny connection to the great events. Seems like Pluto is actually a binary planet with Charon its chief moon, and they are learning new things about it every day since the recent flyby by the New Horizons probe. Love seeing the shots of the surface of the planet and discussions of what it all means. Also made time for a much-needed snooze this afternoon.
Off this evening to the Duke of York's where I met Dawn and Ellie in the bar, and a few minutes later Lorraine and Beth arrived. Once there I registered we were going to see a French movie called Eden, which I found rather excellent. It is a story of a boy being a House DJ in the 90s in Paris. He is obsessed with music, and spends a decade lost in it. It is a movie about clubbing, but is gorgeously done and full of understated drama and thoughtfulness. We all liked it.
A still from the excellent Eden.
