    Morning all
    Mostly blue skies out there today, a pleasant (but short) walk, and now at my desk.
    …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

        Morning denizens

        High cloud out, 17°C heading for 20°, and a very small chance of the odd shower at various times during the day and evening

          Four classic Star Trek (1966) actors and one actress appeared in this movie:

          John Abbott as Emile/Ayelborne from Star Trek: The Original Series: Errand of Mercy (1967). Arnold Moss as Abdul/Kodos the Executioner from Star Trek: The Original Series: The Conscience of the King (1966).

          Vic Tayback as Plainclothes Officer at TWA Counter/Krako from Star Trek: The Original Series: A Piece of the Action (1968).

          Tanya Lemani as Lighter Fluid Saleswoman from Star Trek: The Original Series: Wolf in the Fold (1967).
          Well there's a thing then.

            Wandered off to Longacres (again) for some socially distant Compost / Soil (again) to add, to the already added, additions to the garden. Crikey, what happens to to all the volume of the stuff that I have added this Spring / Summer? I know that it is organic, but I have put over a ton of the stuff on already this year, and have another 600kg to top up the beds / borders...

                That was then: pissing down now & it's 1022 & dropping.

Lovely gentle film about a chap who hunts down the family of people who die alone, and arranges their funerals if family can't or won't sort it out. He attends the funerals of all the deceased whose cases he works on and it seems he is often the only person attending. He lives alone, eats the same basic food every day and essentially has no family or friends. He gets culled in a council cut after working there for 22 years, makes it a bit of a mission to do the right thing for his last case and in doing so it seems he might even have found a romantic interest. Needless to say, things don't quite go to plan as he achieves his desired outcome for his last case but it's a very sad one for him. I did get something in my eye at the end.

                  Decided against a second film so The Deep Blue Sea will have to wait for another day.

                  Sounds similar to this The Final Cut (2004) - IMDb The final cut.

                    Breakfast was a yoghurt.

                    Lunch was some toast and random bits from the fridge.

                    Just realised my Deliveroo £10 voucher that Google sent me expires on Thursday so that may be my dinner sorted.

                    It's 24 degrees out and bright but clouded over as forecast.

                      Lunch: sausage and bacon sandwiched in buttered wholemeal toast

                      Still cloudy here, but no sign of any showers
