In Between Days

Friday. 
We got up around 8. Kev wanted to nip into town while I waited for the boiler check person to come. 
Luckily Kev was back before they came, and apart from clearing some ivy from around the vent outside all was good. 
The DVD we had ordered of The Last Voyage of The Demeter arrived. It never made it to the UK, and we badly wanted to see it. They never released it on region 2, but we still have a region one player that works, so Kev bought a copy from Amazon US and we could see it finally. All I can say is I'm glad as it's brilliant. The vampire was very well conceived and didn't look all CGI and no knickers, it was ugly and vicious, no dapper gent in a tux with fangs. One of the best versions of a monster vampire I've seen, apart from the bat version in Bram Stoker's Dracula. I am so glad we got chance to watch it, and because that old faithful DVD still works watch it again when we want. Kev always said keeping it would pay off and it has... Shame though that it never got released over here, I think it would have done well.
