Its Official!!

It's official - I have reached the age of dementia...
My Family is probably the most technologically proficient in the Modern World. I have an husband who is leaps and bounds ahead in all things Apple. I have two daughters who can outstrip anyone who lives in the world of Instagram, Tik Tok and Twitter. I have a Brother-In-Law who was on the apple gravy train before the iPhone was even invented! My brother is such an amazing technocrat - he designed an implemented the Morning Mirror website 22 years ago

And yet I am the Village Idiot.

HeeHoo is remarkably patient, considering the State of the Nation, he tenderly walks me through half witted device problems daily, he has been sorting out my computers and phones since before Steve Jobs passed on.

But then he foolishly left me and went to China!!

All I had to do was to obtain a visa to visit SheHooMustRun in Australia....
My electronic brain is still run by a forked stick, and so I carefully did my homework, knowing that I had to be on the correct Australian Government site. Getting my RAM firmly into action, knowing I can download and upload with great skill, but my user interface might have glaring deficiencies and so I carefully found a genuine bogus visa site.

It had all the correct chatter like the words 'org and gov' that were legit, but it was bogus all the same. So bogus that it cost me seventy one quid!! Doubt only set in when HeeHoo called to say seventy one quid had gone from his bank account to a bank in Poland!!

'Your Australian Visa will be here within twenty four hours' it promised grandiosely. 24 hours passed, 36 hours passed, 48 hours passed and then I began to perspire!! My flight was leaving in five hours time!!!

The ignominy of it all! I was scammed once before with a Visa to Turkey, one would have thought I could have learned my lesson by now!!

Poor SheHooMustRun bore the brunt of my hysteria, pointing me in the right direction towards the very user friendly Australian ETA App. It was four am when I took my passport photo (in my nightie) (snotty nose et al) against the cupboard door. It was a mugshot to equal the one that was taken at Sauerstown Police Station in 2008!!

I am now a fundi on the anatomy of a passport. It only took seven attempts at scanning the data page with the app yelling at me to 'hold the camera still', 'avoid too much light reflection'.

Finding the Biometric Symbol on the front cover of the passport also utilised my last remaining brain cells, and after an hour of solid terror I eventually succeeded.

Someone in Poland is seventy one quid richer and laughing their socks off right now!!

Coppie Dicey

The Diceys announce with a heavy heart the passing after a short illness of Coppie (Gillian) Dicey on Monday 19th February. Coppie was a wonderful wife to John (married 55 years in March), mother to Stuart and Mike, grandmother to Heidi, Tracey, Nicholas, Hayley, and Isla, and great grandmother to Nataliyah. Coppie will be so dearly missed and leave a huge void in all of our lives. We also wish to convey our heartfelt thanks to all who have reached out to us these difficult past days to offer kind words and support.

THURSDAYS 29 FEBRUARY, 7 & 14 MARCH BROADCHURCH
A seemingly calm and friendly seaside town becomes a place wrapped in secrets when the death of an eleven year old boy sparks an unwanted media frenzy. As the town's locals start to open up about what they do and don't know, everyone begins to turn on each other. As once established relationships get ripped apart, it's up to Detective Inspector Alec Hardy (David Tennant) and Detective Sergeant Ellie Miller (Olivia Colman) to find the killer.

- Well written and beautifully shot, Broadchurch is a deliberate, slowly unfolding mystery procedural with terrific performances from a fine cast. [Rotten Tomatoes]
- Broadchurch is a gripping portrait of small-town paranoia that became a bona fide national obsession! [Entertainment Weekly]
- I can't recall a mystery series moving me as frequently and profoundly as Broadchurch's masterful and sensitively rendered study of poisonous suspicion that infects an otherwise peaceful, deceptively sunny British seaside village. [TV Guide]
Admission: US$2.50 / $6.00 the series [free to Film Members]

FRIDAY 1 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. ROSSINI: THE BARBER OF SEVILLE
Rossini's was born on 29 February 1792 so for his 58th birthday The Barber of Seville comes in a highly praised production from Glyndebourne. This glittering operatic jewel in his musical crown is one of the great comic operas of all time - the greatest of all, according to no less an authority than Verdi - and is a blissful evening of musical comedy, as uproarious as it is sophisticated.

- I would summarise that this Barber of Seville is an out and out triumph of both production and performance that bubbles like the best champagne. {MusicWeb International]
- The interplay of music, acting and staging is glorious to look at and endlessly entertaining. [Gramophone]
- Very enjoyable. The cast were obviously revelling in this production. [Amazon]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members]

FRIDAY 8 MARCH AT 6.30 P.M. DVORAK: SYMPHONY NO.8 / SMETANA: MA VLAST
Smetana was born on 2 March 1824; he died on 12 May 1884; he is regarded as the father of Czech music and the Prague Spring Festival always begins on the anniversary of his death with a performance of Ma Vlast, the cycle of symphonic poems celebrating his native land. It will be preceded by what is perhaps Dvoak's most Czech symphony, No.8.

- This is a beautiful recording of Smetana's "Ma Vlast" with a youthful and enthusiastic orchestra under Belohlavek [Amazon]
- The performers have it in their blood with juicily idiomatic wind playing and a string sound that sparkles like the Vltava itself. [Classical Music]
-The playing throughout has a transparency, with wonderfully woody woodwinds, and this (Dvoak 8) is complete and utter joy. The playing is superb, the sound excellent and the filming wonderful. [Amazon]
Admission: US$2.50 [free to Red Carpet Members]
