Day 809 – 11th June 2009

Day 809

I’ve been packing all day to go home in the morning and I’m once again extraordinarily tired. There’s still some stuff to be done, but it can wait until the morning. I did see this Ford Escort when I went for lunch, and I thought it’d be quite nice for picture of the day. There’s something quite British about escorts, despite their being from an American manufacturer – similar with the Transit van to some extent, although somewhat less good-looking!

Amidst the packing up I went to see Clint Eastwood’s latest, ‘Gran Torino’. I won’t go into it much – enough to say that it’s probably his greatest role as an actor ever, and a true masterpiece of a story. You come to understand so much about race, and growing up, without even thinking about it. What’s more, 79 years of age, he’s still a badass. I highly recommend it.
