So what happened in August? Another month that seemed to go by so quickly!
August 1st:
August 2nd:
August 3rd:
August 4th:
August 5th:
Just one of those "I need caffeine now"mornings!
August 6th:
In life we have to take on various roles or heads, at work, with family, in society. Sometimes it's hard to decide which one you actually want to wear!
So it is good to be able to dress up smart...even when you can't go anywhere! But watching a convention online provided a good excuse to do so.
Well, going back to work was looming and although I'm not a sun worshipper, I did enjoy the good weather while I was off from work.
Great picture! 3D glasses won't provide much protection as face covering. Work opens to the public...brace yourselves!!!
Just a really great picture. Reminds me to enjoy life and relax...it all starts with breathing. And it's the most liked post of mine since My Life In A Year With Archie started back on 1st January 2020.
August 7th:
It was going to be a hot day and any chance I get to share a picture of my favorite CG film is a bonus. Interestingly, some people didn't see CG in the picture. But he is always present!
August 8th:
August 9th:
Just a great picture of CG and Sqeezit. Which prompted a blog about working with animals on screen.
(See "Never Work With Animals and Children...Part 1")
August 10th:
The first "On This Date" post of the month...Ladies Should Listen(1934).
August 11th:
Most times I use the release dates of CG films from my two main resource books, but I made a mistake in thinking that To Catch A Thief was released today...it wasn't.
So I decided to fall back on its release date at the Venice Film Festival later in the month.
August 12th:
Second release of the month, Devil and the Deep(1932)...don't think I have seen it!!
August 13th:
August 14th:
After 146 days on furlough, part of me wasn't ready to go back to work!
August 15th:
Being back at work was exhausting!!!
August 16th:
Day 2, back at work...its all coming back to me now...like riding a bike!!
August 17th:
Three months have flown since my last blood pressure test...still not low enough. Having to fast for 12 hours didn't help. Well that's my excuse!
August 18th:
Third film release of the month...In Name Only(1939).
August 19th:
I think this is a favorite picture of mine so far. It captures a lot...and like the French Riviera provided a great backdrop for my caption of not using public transport..I'll walk!
August 20th:
The fourth film release for August...The Talk of the Town(1942)...I like this film.
August 21st:
August 22nd:
Eager to see a film on the big screen...but plans changed!! Soon!
August 23rd:
Just another great picture to caption..."Rock, paper...scissors!"
August 24th:
The countdown begins to another year coming and going!
August 25th:
It came and went! Lol!!
August 26th:
I spent the previous day, 25th, with my youngest daughter playing crazy golf in Manchester. It reminded me of the craziest golf scene that CG and KH acted in...Bringing Up Baby.
August 27th:
Celebrating my brother and sister-in-law's wedding anniversary. So they get a post all to themselves...ahhhhh! Nothing says romance like a CG post.
August 28th:
The fifth release of August, technically it should have been the first, but I got my dates mixed up. The main thing is that it is here now...To Catch A Thief(1955) at the Venice Film Festival...And I keep spelling Theif...Thief wrong!!
August 29th:
Life is too short! And when you come to write about your life seems even shorter! Could I fill that piece of paper?
August 30th:
August 31st:
The month started with a phone call, it seemed fitting to end with one..."Hello! I'd like to book September...Yes that's right from tomorrow...for about 30 days...Thank you...Oh and give my regards to August!"
