Off To The Pictures.

The day began with rain, lots and lots of it. It was somewhat galling to hear that the temperature in Paris today was expected to reach 31C. Maybe a little too hot but not the autumnal weather we've already slipped into. However this afternoon when we came out of the Arts Centre at the uni we were met with a blue sky and some welcome heat. As soon as we got home I changed from leggings and boots into shorts and flip-flops and rushed onto the terrace for 10 minutes of sun before the clouds rolled in from the west.

We had gone to the cinema in the university Arts Centre to see Twisters, a fun action film. We used to watch all the disaster films, many of which we saw on the big screens in Leicester Square, so many years ago. Twisters while not quite as much fun as the last Mad Max film we saw was still worth watching. We had our usual seats right at the front and there were a lot more people in the cinema today, at least 6 or maybe even 8.

Turning out of the university campus the road down to town was completely blocked, nothing at all moving as far as we could see in either direction but our way home was clear. Being such a small town with the sea on one side it only takes one incident for everything to become gridlocked. Sadly I've found out that earlier somebody had been hit by a train. No other news at the moment but it can't be good. There's one place in town where the main road crosses the main railway line and two crossings for the narrow gauge line used by the steam train that goes up to Devil's Bridge.

During the day I practised singing Calon Lan which we will be singing in the concert tomorrow evening. Originally we were going to sing 'I Have a Dream.' in Welsh but a lot of us weren't that keen as although the words are more appropriate they are hard to sing and the psalm tune isn't very cheery. Instead the group voted for Calon Lan, which just about everybody in Wales knows. We may even get some of the audience joining in.
