INTERNATIONAL HAIKU POETRY DAY

I used to write Haikus all the time – I decided not to share one of own but one of my favourites from John Cooper Clarke for International Haiku Poetry Day.

FILM 1652: HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE

TRIVIA: In the birthday scene, the cast and crew filmed ten takes singing the normal "Happy Birthday" song before finding out they didn't have the rights to use it. So the song "Ricky Baker, It's your Birthday" was created on the spot by the actors.

Director Taika Waititi makes a cameo as the minister.

The word majestical was used by Shakespeare and appears in Hamlet (Act 1,Scene 1) when Marcellus refers to the departing Ghost's monarchial appearance:

'Tis gone. We do it wrong, being so majestical, To offer it the show of violence, For it is, as the air, invulnerable, And our vain blows malicious mockery.

… OF THE DAY

My first proper night out with all the people from work was really fun, we had a lovely Indian meal and then went to see an unusual comedy show…

… OF THE DAY

Something I was thinking about on the train, I was pondering things so intently that the journey went by so fast and it felt odd when I got to my stop…

… OF THE DAY

After such a long and busy weekend I spent most of the day in bed…

… OF THE DAY

Another strange dream last night… it was a mix between watching Final Destination and Piranha on the River Thames.
