Fish fanciers
An exceptionally cheery Beth today, who having secured a flat the other day, also went out with Lorraine in the middle of the day, and has bought a red Renault Clio, which she will pick up next weekend. She is very cheery about this turn of events, which has seen her get a flat and a car in one week. Lovely to see her feeling as if life were on track again.
This evening, Lorraine and I watched the film The Shape of Water. A thing of beauty it was too, directed by Guillermo del Toro. He has made so many great films, including the masterful Pan's Labyrinth. Beautifully art directed, with gorgeous greens all the way through it, and Sally Hawkins gave a great performance as a mute fish-fancier. Afterwards we listened to music and shuffled off to bed, just before Beth started chatting with her pal not too far from Toronto.
Made a change watching something with real quality. A still from The Shape of Water. Highly recommended.
Another walk at lunchtime, in my new walking shoes. Finished listening to Notes on a Scandal by Zoe Heller, which I found entertaining and accomplished -- without loving it.
