Elvis

Bright sunshine this morning. Made a huge difference. Lorraine and I got up and travelled off to the other side of town... In reality not far, but we walked down some back alleys and then caught a 12A which dropped us off near the cemetery. A bit of an adventure as we didn't know where the bus went. Picked up Lorraine's car, with its replacement door and drove back home. A pleasant sunny sort of day, mainly spent tidying the house. This house takes a lot of tidying. Lorraine talking to all sorts of family, and the hospital ward and so on. Maureen sounding more chirpy today, thankfully.

In the evening we went to The Old Boot, where we met Steve for a quick bite of a decent, and decently priced burger, and then Lorraine and I went to the Seaford Film Club, where we met Adele and Patrick, Yvonne and Brian and watched Elvis by Baz Luhrmann. Where we sat with our pals on the back row. The theatre is called The Barn, and was completely full with about 100 people in the audience. Adele had edited the showreel -- which included a mention of Lisa Marie Presley who died this week.

As someone who never cared about Elvis, I thought it was a fabulous film with a huge energy and fantastic performances. 

From there, went with Adele and Patrick, and their pals Andrew and Kate to the Welly for a cheeky and chat. Then sloped home.  

Below the poster from a surprisingly excellent movie.
