I Started The Day,

by watering the cactus seedlings upstairs,


 some are growing nicely,

 like these all in open seed trays which I water everyday,

 you can actually see the little baby spines in this blow up, ah!

 some in the cling film topped ones I do not have to water are growing as well, but it is still early days, according to the instructions it will take another 2 months or so for most of them to germinate,

 on to our Sunday lunch, all of the fish were looking at us as we sat down,

 they know they are going to get more than a few cooked peas in the next few hours, 

 dinner is served,

 roast pork with lots of crackling,  

 the orchids we bought yesterday looking really nice, 

 for dessert apple and current crumble,

 'Cheers!'

during the meal and after our dessert we listen to some music for a couple of hours, today the music took a Cuban turn as we listened to the The Buena Vista Social Club, it is sometimes a term used to describe Cuban music from the 1920s to the 1940s, it was in fact a members club in Havana, Cuba, which closed in the 1940s, the CD we have is the one titled Buena Vista Social Club At Carnegie Hall, for more detailed information about the group have a look here, we then moved inside for this evening's film, 

and for this evening Casino, based loosely on a true story, some of the characters and parts of the story were taken from real life, it may seem at 178 minutes a long film but the story, acting, clothes and sets makes the time just fly past, it is violent in places, but then in the time period it is set in Las Vegas it was a violent place if you crossed the main players, a great film, if you have not seen it you are missing out on a treat,

then to round off the evening a couple from Red Dwarf, we are now on to season 5, tonight the episodes, Holoship and The Inquisitor, all I can say if you watch any of Red Dwarf you will love it or hate it, we both love it, with that we were off to bed.
