I just got back from having breakfast at Heidi's Pies. Maureen was able to join Vanessa and me this morning. We took Annie to her daycare place so we could eat in peace. Vanessa had to leave early so she could help at Beech's school with an art program.
In the evening yesterday I watched a DVD of the movie A Handful of Dust. It was made in 1988 based on an Evelyn Waugh novel. It was beautifully filmed in color, mostly in England but some in Brazil. It portray upper class British life and manners in the 1930s. The actions of the people are so absurd that it is hard for me to imagine that the people were really like that, but I expect that they were.They make such a mess of their lives that you have to pity them, but it is also disgusting that when they have it all they do not make anything of themselves. It had a great cast, including Kristin Scott Thomas and Alec Guinness and Judy Dench in small roles. I give it 3.4 stars.
