Madame Bee Sade
May 31, 2009

Blue BoatsHere we go, racing into June on a ray of sunshine. We saw Madame De Sade last Saturday, which was nowhere near the "torture" that the reviews led me to believe. One and three quarter hours with no interval is a long haul though for something so wordy. I can't imagine the cast will be sorry now that it's over though! Impressive set and costumes.

This Saturday we were in Henley-On-Thames, staying at Hotel Du Vin on the Friday night and walking off a dinner and large [if disorganised] breakfast to Shiplake. Sam had vichyssoise followed by chicken and I had pork belly [strangely encased in breadcrubs] followed by a fantastic cep and truffle oil risotto. It was a very warm walk to Shiplake. We had intended to go all the way to Twyford but the Thames doesn't go that way!


We got back in time to see Chelsea win the FA Cup and then got horribly drunk with Kev, his brother and his dad, before descending on karol and Kev's mum for dinner. Somehow we managed to drag ourselves away early enough to get up in time to see Anything For Her for free at the Ritzy at 11.00am this morning.

What a bizarre time to be in the cinema. The film is a must see though. It's tense, thrilling stuff. It is subtitled, being in French but stars Vincent Lindon and Diane Kruger and are very good and it's well shot.

AFter that it was back to The Railway for Bloody Mary's and newspapers in the sun before dragging ourselves home to let the full strength of our hangovers take their effect. To be honest I'm not sure I had fully recovered from the lack of sleep on Thursday night after Paul's unbirthday.

I had a photo included in a post of the plight of the bee at the Living: More Th>n blog this week. Which reminds me, I wish I had taken the Canon to Henley as there were loads of Red Kites on the thermals by the river. And we saw an amazing black and pink butterfly [or moth] on Twyford station that I'd like to have been able to identify.
