A Private Life (2025) shows Jodie Foster speaking in French! She is a (control freak) psychiatrist with a recently deceased patient, turns into investigating the facts behind such sudden death and finding more than she wished to know about herself and others... some truths, some fantasised realities but in the end, some balance.

Another Day

Paul McCartney

Every day she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day

Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
It's just another day

At the office where the papers grow she takes a break
Drinks another coffee and she finds it hard to stay awake
It's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day, hey

So sad, so sad, sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays, but he leaves the next day
So sad, sometimes she feels so sad

As she posts another letter to the sound of five
People gather 'round her and she finds it hard to stay alive
It's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day, hey

So sad, so sad, sometimes she feels so sad
Alone in her apartment she'd dwell
Till the man of her dreams comes to break the spell
Ah, stay, don't stand her up
And he comes and he stays, but he leaves the next day
So sad, sometimes she feels so sad

Every day she takes a morning bath, she wets her hair
Wraps a towel around her as she's heading for the bedroom chair
It's just another day

Slipping into stockings, stepping into shoes
Dipping in the pocket of her raincoat
Ah, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day
Du du du du du du, it's just another day, hey

I attended a beautiful British citizenship ceremony where tolerance and respect for others were proclaimed, respect for democratic values was defended, and contributions to a more prosperous, generous open nation were wished. These noble British values should be taught in schools.

The Disappearing
by Franz Wright

There is a heartbreaking beauty
about my crummy street
tonight, at 2 o’clock
in the first snow: I stand looking out

at this window, I think
how everything seen
is something seen for the last time.
At last I turn away,

I give up. I am tired,
I can’t mourn anymore
the loss of what I never asked for
and never understood.

In the middle of the latest sweltering heatwave in the UK I caught myself thinking of snow...

Office Romance (2026) is a fun rom-com with an unconventional power relationship in an office where relationships are strictly prohibited. Of course the situation changes and you just feel sorry for the HR guy who needs to listen to everything he didn't want to hear :-D

Jennifer Lopez does not look 55!

Foi neste dia #395 (1665)

Há 361 anos perto de Borba, deu-se a decisiva Batalha dos Montes Claros, a última grande batalha da Guerra da Restauração Portuguesa que durava há já 25 anos. A pesada derrota espanhola às mãos de forças anglo-portuguesas derrubou definitivamente qualquer pertença de invasão e deu início ao processo de reconhecimento da dinastia de Bragança, finalizado no Tratado de Lisboa em 1668.

Kingston town

UB40

The night seems to fade
But the moonlight lingers on
There are wonders for everyone, oh
The stars shine so bright
But they're fading after dawn
There is magic in Kingston Town

Oh, Kingston Town
The place I long to be
If I had the whole world
I would give it away
Just to see the girls at play

When I am king
Surely I would need a queen
And a palace and everything, yeah
And now I am king
And my queen will come at dawn
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town

Oh, Kingston Town

She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, right on
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, oh, yeah
She'll be waiting in Kingston Town, oh, yeah
She'll be waiting-
