6.20 am Sunday 26th June 2011. It has taken me 45 minutes from the alarm to this point following a disturbed and at times uncomfortable night, an upset tum and usually time for the computer to warm up. I will first check and correct the writing of yesterday and then publish.
7.05 Completed check on writing 2089 and published on Google and MySpace. Checked email for lottery win and no again. Checked East Coast Trains for cheap ticket on September homeward journey and no change. Prepare edition of writing for albums and print. Tum feels better so will finish off open bacon packet into rolls and coffee break.
7.10 Enjoying bacon roll with coffee to follow and decide next task will be to prepare rolls for after match and trip. Weather forecasts good, sunny and warm. Think about Durham cricket and trip.
7.25 Enjoying coffee and will write about the Merlin episode last night in which Merlin goes off to get a sword for the King after being recommended the best sword maker in the land who lives with his daughter in the forest on their own. Because Merlin has a vision of the man using the sword to kill the king he incinerates the maker. The daughter then takes the sword to throw in lake which Merlin freezes over trapping the girl who hands the sword but then dies under the ice despite Merlin’s efforts to rescue her. Thus confirming that he is a nasty piece of work.
Meanwhile the King has become obsessed and coverts Guinevere who has married his champion and who tells him she proposes to be faithful regardless of what has passed between them and their respective feelings. Arthur is obsessed despite warnings from Merlin and his mother. But he is shown to be no King, or great fighter, or honourable man. Just another young man caught up in the dealings and ambitions of the older generation and his half sister.
His half sister decides to pay a visit to Camelot to greet Guinevere, the new wife, for some reason not explained and takes ill which gets worse when she returns. The nun who raised her after her father sent her away to the convent arrives saying that the nunnery was attacked and she is the only survivor. She says she has to help the girl to learn to die and appears to use a black magic circle. We also learn that the nun was behind the drive of Morgan to become Queen. Morgan survives a transformation and transfiguration of some kind which I did not understand. This is decidedly a Channel four slant on the legend and part of the new wave 21st century approach to adulthood orientated TV programming.
7.30 off to sort out rolls. 8.10 12 salami rolls have been prepared in two containers plus pink salmon ready for three rolls for today and one spare buttered roll. Forgot to put buttered and as yet unfilled rolls in bead tin until later. Last night I enjoyed some spicy sticky chicken pieces with the remainder of the Rosé, cherries, and pastry followed by Pepsi and coffee. I also had the third sickly chocolate cup cake for tea. For lunch today a piece of steak with roast potatoes and some veg with the rest of cherries. I will take a Danish to the game to have with a purchased cup of tea. The salmon rolls and some grapes with a drink will be for en route perhaps on the M62 at Hartshead or somewhere similar. I must get some AAA batteries for the camera on the way to the game which means leaving here at 12.45 to get to Riverside for 1.30 and a place on the balcony.
8.15 I have 40 minutes or so to write about SALT. This Salt is the name of a thirty something young woman and not talks to prevent nuclear proliferation! The concept is well trodden. The Russians took selected babies to a secret academy where the children were brought up to become sleeper killer operatives to bring down the USA. The parents are told the children have died when in hospital. After indoctrination type training in which they learn to kiss the ring of the academy master- Pope Bishop fascination (?) the children are placed or replaced in American families in such a way, it is presumed that relatives do not realise the children have been switched, and are brought up in such a way that they become great operatives holding great positions such as chief security adviser to the President, a senior General NATO attaché and in the case of Angelina Jolie, a super CIA spy.
When the film opens Jolie is in North Korea denying she is a spy and being tortured. She is then exchanged for a North Korean in USA hands after pressure was exerted her husband. We later learn she married him because he was an expert in spiders and as such had entry into North Korea so she could accompany him on a trip and spy. Years later she is living contentedly in the USA with her husband who she has come to love dearly when she and her boss are about to leave for the weekend they are called back because a mysterious Russian has arrived wanting to talk saying he has got mind blowing info. He tells of the academy and a plan to launch an inside assault on the USA through operatives placed over the years. The day of reckoning is to commence with the killing of the Russian President who is to attend the funeral of the USA American Vice President because of a special relationship the two had together. The name of the person who will carry out the mission is SALT.
This sets the cat among the pigeons and while Angelina is held when they find that her parents were killed in a car crash in Paris when she was preteen child, the Russian kills the two agents in the lift taking him somewhere and escapes the building. We later learn he is based on barge in the river accompanied by a number other previously secret placements who have been assembled for the day of reckoning when they will take over their homeland and also bring down to the USA.
Jolie also escapes from the building because she is concerned about the position of her husband. The film enters into action mode with spectacular chases in which Jolie jumps off motorway bridges onto and between lorries and other fast moving vehicles and eventual gets away from the police while in a moving vehicle and handcuffed. Leading the chase is her big cheese boss and another CIA man who appears to be internal security chief. He is convinced Jolie is a wrong un while her immediate boss is not. She manages to escapes them from her home when we see evidence that her husband has been taken and that she equips herself with the tricks of the trade and also taken venom from a spider which she inserts into a tranquilliser type of gun.
9 am Have taken car out and found that the temperature is going to reach 90 degree to day and tomorrow before cooler weather comes in from the west so looks as if we could get at least a couple of days rain free cricket from Monday as well as ideal condition today. Will finish the writing while starting the recording of BBC 2 HD Glastonbury which started with only one number of he bluest Glaswegian Paulo Nutrini. Someone called Black does in garden number. Janelle Monáe USA all black group in Black and white. Described as amazing (rubbish).
Friendly Fires from St Albans on the Other stage. Back to the film
Of course everything Jolie does is incredulous but it is great fun as she evades a no stop underground train stop and armed with maps of the tunnels under the church where the funeral is taking place and of course the security forces are all above ground and no one thought of patrolling the tunnels etc.. She manages to create mayhem and appears to have killed the Russian President. She is captured but misses out on the opportunity to kill the CIA internal security man. She escapes from the police cars while handcuffed.
She makes her way to a prearranged meet with the Russians although it is not explained how she knew this. He takes her to the barge where he executes her husband to gauge her reactions. She executes him and all the others present after learning of her next assignment and the plan
The plan is to meet a General with access to the White House National Security briefing and to create a situation which will result in he President going to control centre below the White House and gain control of nuclear rocket launching. Hmmn. To do this she uses a false face Mask, teeth, eyes etc and identify to get in as a male assistant to the General. What happens is that the General with Jolie help creates a situation within the White House which results in the President making for the secure control centre followed by Jolie after the General blows himself rather than be captured after Jolie drops in it as they say. Down below the President agrees to go the pre Nuclear attack mode because the Russians have been getting ready although why they should is not explained as the President is back home having recovered from the temporary paralysis and the Russians would have been told about the background to what was a one person assault on behalf of a rogue Russian.
It is at this point we have what is supposed to be the surprising twist as it emerges that Jolie’s boss is the prime Russian former child secret placement agent who now kills everyone in the bunker except the President who he uses to set in motion a nuclear attack on two middle Muslim East Countries thus create warfare between the Muslim World and the USA. It was intended that Jolie, given her special skills would also get to the scene where after the attack is launched her boss would kill her and be the hero thus being in a position of power with the New USA president who in one version of the film was also a Russian secret placement. Why Jolie did not know in advance he was another placement is because he was in a more senior group to her and for some reason although they were in the same academy they were never introduced although she did recognise others from her class. Although she manages to stop the nuclear strike she is captured and blamed by her boss for the deaths including that of the President. However when taken away she manages to break free to kill her boss and then persuades the CIA security man she saved the world after her fingerprints were found at the barge along with the Russian academy organiser and other dead operatives. She is then allowed to break free and jump into the Potomac River after explaining that there are more people like her still in the USA and that she intends to kill them all with his help. Great rubbish as they say.
09.43 Iron and packing time while listening to more Glastonbury.
10.30 Progress. Watching Cold Play as Headline band on Saturday night with their third top line appearances. They headlined after helping out the Worthy farm people attending a local fete many years ago. They originate from the West country Devon. They are over rated by the way but need a lift after dropping from the public eye and having a new album due for release. They are produced by Brian Eno who also does U2.
11.30 Packed and ready to go apart from washing shaving and eating. Decided that I fancy just a steak sandwich and the rest of the cherries. Around 12. Torn between finishing the Cold Play set and England V India women international cricket to see if they can make it three out of three.
11.45 Settle for England as they are batting with mixed fortunes as they have lost three wickets for 50 runs but with a good run rate of 7.32. Now star player out first ball and they are 50 for 4. Decide to make lunch. By mistake have defrosted pork not the beef. No matter Now to water the plants.
12.05 3000 people in the ground at Taunton as England is 89.5 with a run rate still over 7 and 7,22 but they have lost another wicket and into the 13 over. Completed watering and remember to get some CD’s for the journey.
12.15 England reached 100 for 4 with Clare Taylor 57 not out and going well. Well done the ladies putting the men
to shame, England have collapsed while I did the washing to 124 for 9 at the end of the 18 and are all out at 136. Enjoyed cherries and cup cake and now time to wrap up this writing and transfer memory stick. Will write up what happens next if I have the time
