On a Sunday too. I&#8217;ll never have a decent lie-in at this rate.<\/p>\n<p>Resuming my usual habits after this last few weeks of work, I watched a film this morning while I was breakfasting. Today&#8217;s offering was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/gp\/product\/B0002VB24K\/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=B0002VB24K&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=erichall-21\" target=\"_blank\">Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-uk.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=erichall-21&#038;l=as2&#038;o=2&#038;a=B0002VB24K\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important; margin:0px !important;\" \/> and I was totally puzzled by this film. I was sitting there watching ti all warm up and wondering when the action might begin and suddenly it ended. 2 hours or so of no real plot and no real action and I can&#8217;t think of where the time went because there was nothing memorable about it.<\/p>\n<p>However, having read the reviews of the film, I&#8217;m clearly in a minority of one. Lots of people consider it to be the best of the films.<\/p>\n<p>So I spent the rest of the day doing some informal tidying up in here until it became too hot, and also tidying up a huge pile of files on the computer.<\/p>\n<p>This evening Iwas round at Liz and Terry&#8217;s rehearsing the radio programmes as we are recording tomorrow. I also went round to C\u00e9cile&#8217;s to pick up a couple of letters.<\/p>\n<div class='watch-action'><div class='watch-position align-left'><div class='action-like'><a class='lbg-style1 like-3238 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='like' data-post_id='3238' data-nonce='3ab0abe76e' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Like' \/><span class='lc-3238 lc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div><div class='action-unlike'><a class='unlbg-style1 unlike-3238 jlk' href='javascript:void(0)' data-task='unlike' data-post_id='3238' data-nonce='3ab0abe76e' rel='nofollow'><img class='wti-pixel' src='https:\/\/lesguis.com\/wp\/wp-content\/plugins\/wti-like-post\/images\/pixel.gif' title='Unlike' \/><span class='unlc-3238 unlc'>0<\/span><\/a><\/div> <\/div> <div class='status-3238 status align-left'><\/div><\/div><div class='wti-clear'><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yes, what happened to the first half of the year?
