We go to buy tickets at the cinema. Oppenheimer is wide open but Barbie is sold out until the end of next week. Mission Impossible has been extended for another ten days. We're told the first two hours of Oppenheimer are heavy going but the last hour is an absolute masterpiece.
Can a morning be perfect ? Today's sunrise is ticking all the right boxes. The air warm and scented with honeysuckle. Enthusiastic golfers already lined up at the first tee.
The good coffee cafe has started a new line in mini cakes. In this arable farming region milk alternatives make an unlikely appearance on the menu. It seems that visitors from down south are mortified to find that only cows milk is on offer.
In the village on the coast all is quiet. A new skip has been delivered. This makes the seventh skip we've had in as many weeks. This coming week should ( hopefully ) see the conservatory finished and the bulk of the work on the new garden room done.
Lilac and buddleia in bloom as we head past the village hall and head down to the shore. Despite the installation of street lights this is a view that can't have changed much in two centuries. Three Jack Russells follow us for part our walk. They soon decide we're unexciting companions and head off in pursuit of greater adventures.
On the 100 yards of wilderness between the shore and the farmers fields the rabbits and hares are out . No sign of the deer this morning but the fields are covered in hundreds and hundreds of crows.

Beautiful morning in St Andrews. Palompo's deserves to succeed - it listens to its customers.
Thank you for the link to Astral Codex Ten.
Why oh why do so many film makers think three hours is the right length for a film? Oppenheimer sound interesting, but....
Yes, a perfect morning.
It's years since I've been to the cinema - not that we have one here, but I don't think I'd want to spend three hours watching any film these days! Pity the poor parents who have to sit through Barbie!
Beautiful scenery. I will be curious how you find Oppenheimer. I am going to see it this week. Thank you so much for sharing your book recommendations.
The tourist board should hire you, a very pretty place.
I never liked Barbie dolls and certainly wasn't thinking of seeing the Barbie movie but, but then Ted Cruz began attacking it as Chinese communist propaganda and it has somehow become a thing for the right wing crowd. So now I've read some of the reviews, and if it makes its way to our part of France (or Netflix), I may go. Not sure about Oppenheimer, but I will be curious to hear what you and the Font think of it.
The latest coined word is "Barbenheimer," with critics finding ways to find similarities between the two movies and urging folks to, why not? see them both at once.
I have eaten at the Sea Ranch Lodge several times, though many years ago. The food was delicious, but the views out to the ocean made it perfect. There were migrating whales close to shore on one visit!
Yes! This morning's post reminds me that there are other, and very beautiful, places to live should the presidential election take a bad turn. What a wonderful place you've landed. I read a long review of Barbie this morning, and Gerwig is a feminist, so it could prove interesting. Maybe, like the other Lisa, I'll wait for Netflix.
The Font is probably familiar with this dog breed, but I know you like herding dogs, and besides, she is so darned cute!! https://youtu.be/S97O_bbRyA0
Try the Barbie movie. It's clever.
