1 I loved this short film, Cinema Space Tribute, which is on Alex’s blog . This is a journey through 46 years of space travel in film from 1968’s 2001: A Space Odyssey by director Stanley Kubrick, to 2014’s Interstellar directed by Christopher Nolan and all to a soundtrack of “Do not go gentle into that good night” by Dylan Thomas, my all-time favourite poet. Thank you so much Alex. Here is the link to the film http://vimeo.com/113142476
2 I am making a tiny pair of fingerless mittens for Grand-baby B. They are quite tricky, being so small, but I should finish them this weekend.
3 It is my lovely Sister-in-law’s birthday today and I give her this beautiful little poem from Robert Browning who died on this day in 1889.
Love
So, the year’s done with!
(Love me forever!)
All March begun with,
April’s endeavour;
May-wreaths that bound me
June needs must sever;
Now snow falls round me,
Quenching June’s fever –
(Love me for ever!)
