Sunday.
A beautiful morning with a need for me to dig out my work sunglasses ( I don't risk taking my Ray Bans to work.)
The bus is indeed back to its normal route, the sinkhole covered in and new tarmac laid.
A busy day from the get go, lots of bbqs going on, garden stuff being bought all that sort of thing. Still a Zombie kind of day, like most Sundays you speak to half the customers and they ignore you. Wrapped up in their own little worlds too busy to acknowledge the person serving them.
At least the regulars chat, and because of the good weather it meant we didn't struggle to empty the shop. As for the few they wanted to get back out there ASAP anyway, so didn't dawdle and buggered off when told. That makes a change.
Buses and tram got OK both ends.
We got home had tea and settled down to watch the last episode of Interview with Charlotte, who hadn't seen the movie so we put that on too... It was good to compare the two, you can see the lines and threads of the story that they had included in the series, and of course the differences which are massive but, in a good way. It did need that update, and I must admit I'm not a fan of do overs when it comes to movies I love, but the series gives them time to tell the story correctly. The gay element of the tale is needed for you to really understand both Louis and Lestat, and even I must admit that Louis as a black Creole man works much better for the character. Claudia too is better shown in all her selfish, demanding, Brat ways, very much like a young Lestat in all respects, which you don't pick up on in the movie, but you do in the book.
If only they'd do a series on Sherry Roit's Vampires. Paris Immortal would be an absolute dream of a cast and the stories would be great to see off the page. Maybe one day...
