Just what we need ... Silent Night: a movie full of cheer for the second Christmas of the pandemic. Spoiler alert ... Think Nevil Shute's On the Beach - the Yuletide version, with Keira Knightley and designer frocks.
The planet is doomed, poison gas will be here before Santa, the water is a funny colour so there's nothing to drink but Fanta or prosecco - and do you fancy a sprout with your government-issued cyanide tablet? Would you really forget to cook enough roasties for your last meal on earth?
Surfacing into a gloomy, grey afternoon - yes, I felt quite depressed. Might need to watch It's a Wonderful Life, or even Love, Actually to take the taste away.
Luckily I'm off to a concert tonight at the Festival Hall.
Though it was depressing, the film did keep me amused and gripped ... which is more than I can say for The French Dispatch last week when I confess I slumbered through most of it.

Hello Mary, I just wanted to check if it is you asking to follow me on Instagram. The request came twice with your blog name appended with 2 then 3. As there are no posts on either of them I couldn’t be sure it was you before confirming.
Oh, it is me, Lucille - I am now Mrsminiversdaughter3 so ignore no 2. I got locked out of my original account - think it was to do with the outage that was reported in paper the other day - and can't get back in so I started a new one with a new e-mail address.
Isn't life compllcated! I've been trying to transfer all the people I was following - apologies for being a nuisance.
Well, I don't think I'll be watching that! Thanks for the warning...
Think of it as an antidote to Christmas overkill, Pam! My neighbours have their very lurid Christmas lights up already - so by the end of November, I might be more than ready for a black Christmas!
My husband and I knew Keira Knightley's mother when we were all young. She was somewhat silly and affected, though very pretty. Ah well, not so silly as it turns out...
