Is it film night tonight?

Let me see, is it film night? On most Monday afternoons, I usual ask Dino this question.... "Is it film night tonight?".
I then proceed to go to the Lost in Film website and see if tonight is the night!

From September until late June, the wonderful people from Lost in Film, our local Film Society, show films in the Church Rooms in Lostwithiel, there are normally 2 screenings a month.
We really don't care what is showing, I normally buy the tickets on line, turn up, grab our usual seats, buy two small bottles of wine, and relax. Sometimes, there are even a few tables with chairs. So very European. So very civilised!
The usual suspects are there, most of us gravitate to "our" chairs, there is no assigned seating, however, we all basically sit in the same seats. The experts bring there own cushions to sit on and some even a blanket. Now that it is daylight saving, even though the curtains are drawn, it is so lovely having the evening sun try to creep in through the edges.
Maybe we will see you there next Monday.

Painting of the Month - Catch A Falling Star

Tristan is a dreamer, aren't we all. 
He thinks constantly about outer galaxies, planets, comets, orbits, gravity, and so on and so on.
However, his greatest love are the STARS!
By day he works at the local news agency, he is a loyal and trusted volunteer at the RNLI, he really enjoys partaking in a good old singalong with the Fishermen Friends from St Ives and he will never say no to a pint of ale.
By night, is gazes up at the sky and ponders. Tristan has been fortunate enough to see shooting stars, and one day, he would really love to "Catch A Falling Star"...
We can hope!

Sculpture of the Month - Hit the High Note!

Cyril and his cello, Clemmy, are inseparable!
In order to avoid any damage whatsoever, to his prized possession, he only accepts invitations to recitals where he can drive, bus or train too, with his Clemmy right by his side.
Last year, he was invited to Lithuania, after 4 days of travel, he arrived for his performance, tired, grumpy and a little disheveled, he even left one shoe on the train, however, Clemmy was safe.
He also fond of collecting driftwood, running his FREE local Parkrun at Little Stoke Park near Bristol and making a perfect Mary Berry Victoria Sandwich, not to be mistaken with the Victoria Sponge!
