So I thought I'd do a few things to cheer myself up this weekend.
Succeeded yesterday by nearly completing the grouting of the bathroom floor and also by picking out the tile for the rest of the bathroom. We still have to go back to the store to get most of the tile as they were out of stock, but we did get the fripperies.
Then I decided to stroll through YouTube to find a new movie to watch.
Found "When the Wind Blows" from 1986.
Oops.
It's a bit of a downer.
A product of the times, of course. In America, we had "The Day After," which was a phenomenon of its own when it came out in 1983. And as it aired on broadcast television, it was pretty much in everyone's living room.
But this film might be a little scarier. These two are completely alone in their suffering. And so dependent on the "official literature" that was meant to placate and not at all help if the event actually came. And no corner of England would have been spared the radiation. Maybe parts of the US would, it being a bigger country. But not England.
So if you're looking for a downer, look it up.
Don't say I didn't warn you.
