All Clear

Not a cloud in the sky after the morning fog cleared. It was almost our sunniest October day since the solar panels started, and on Oct 1 we passed the total for 2014.

We watched Mission to Mars which was unmitigated shite. [Admin1: This is perhaps the worst film I’ve ever seen. It really was gobsmackingly awful, a real car-crash of unbelievably bad direction (and it’s Brian de Palma!), appalling acting and scripting, clichéd plotting, feeble effects and terrible music (Morricone!). I kept thinking: This can’t possibly get worse. But it did. How the hell did it ever get made?]

Admin2 is reading Pulse by Julian Barnes, which was slow and thready.
