Thursday 12th - Monday 16th June 2008
Glorious weather. Very hot.
Jane works Thursday and Friday but has a long weekend off as Monday is a Bank Holiday in Gibraltar (Queen's Birthday).
I've been getting stuck into designing the Gibraltar website and good progress is being made.
We met Elaine, Joe and Trevor from Glasgow/Gaucín on Sunday at the Restaurante Kabilas. It was good to see them again. Elaine comes out every summer for a couple of months.
We've watched a few films.
'Definitely, Maybe'. Directed by Adam Brooks. With Ryan Reynolds, Abigail Breslin, Isla Fisher Elizabeth Banks and Rachel Weisz. A very well written romantic comedy. A really good film for this genre. Well acted, great script with some excellent observations.
'Street Kings'. Directed by David Ayer. With Keanu Reeves, Forest Whitake. L.A. Cops are bending/breaking the law to get busts. Who's the goodies and baddies, action drama.
'Brick Lane'. Directed by Sarah Gavron. With Tannishtha Chatterjee, Satish Kaushik and Christopher Simpson. A Bangladeshi girl is sent to the UK in an arranged marriage. Unusual subject matter for a movie. Good film, not exactly exciting, wait for it to come on TV.
'Charlie Bartlett'. Directed by Jon Poll. With Anton Yelchin, Robert Downey Jr., Hope Davis.
A rich kid is expelled from lots of private scools and ends up in the public schoool system.
Funny, well acted, worth watching.
