After a terrible
night’s sleep (too hot, air-con not working properly, the world’s worst guard
dogs barking at absolutely nothing for HOURS) the motivation to work today is
zero. I got stuck in of those YouTube loops, where you start of looking for one
thing and 3 hours later you’re watching list videos and wishing you had
popcorn.
I watched a few
clips from British films. My days, they’re bleak, aren’t they? Gritty. Grey.
Violent. Council estates. Chips. Rain sodden bus stops. Lots of cigarettes. Where
are all those thatched cottages and village greens, red phone boxes and country
pubs? In American films about Britain, that’s where.
A quick, just
for fun comparison…
