    Got to agree about the Chablis though.
    Yes that's him, more wood than Woody, but it's a good one nevertheless. Well, I'm enjoying it anyway and yes, the wine is indeed fine.

    I'm more and more for the white wine, ever since that meal with Mrs N, the white has been slowly creeping in. This film is so musical too (as many are) jazz, piano, opera, Bach - it's all in there as well as the usual stuff. Woody plays himself again of course, with the added dash of hypochondriac and an extra bit of musing on life/death.

    Funnily enough, the character played by Caine is the most interesting aside from Woody's. Go buy!!!

    At the moment I'm drinking a cup of black coffee with a couple of biscuits.
    I think many people go through a white wine phase but eventually return to the red.
    I could never bring myself to watch either Woody Allen or Michael Caine as they are both products of the 1960s which automatically puts them beyond the pale. Allen's first venture into film land was 'What's New Pussycat': need I say more? Michael messed around in B films for a while before landing the lead in 'Alfie', about an irresponsible yob who sees the light. Unfortunately, the myriad irresponsible yobs that proliferated in the UK, and still do, have yet to experience a similar Damascene conversion, but it made a lot of money from those who could readily identify with the film's anti-hero without them realizing that it had been made with that very purpose in mind.
    Incidentally, it seems that Carla Bruni, the French President's wife, is going to star in Woody's latest film . That should just about sink Nicolas' chance of getting a second term in office next year.

    Oh that's interesting Carla Bruni I mean. I'll off to lurk around IMDB to find out more in a bit. It would be good to have one set in Paris instead of New York all the time, though I like the fact that Woody's films all of the same biographical features, it means you can play Woody Allen bingo as you watch it (or don't as in your case). If you change your mind and do decide to watch one watch Manhattan.

    I like red wine but often have to drink this with food.

    Just had coffee and pancakes for dinner.

    Edit: ah, here it is:

    I'm drinking some Chinese tea with some pâté on toast.

    Very nice shots of Paris but the people don't look very interesting. I agree with the comment that Paris is an amazing place and although I have an open invitation to stay with friends in New York, I would rather go to Paris anytime.
    I was reading in the French press recently that a check on the long range weather forecast taken at various worldwide meteorological centres, shows a hot and sunny summer in Europe this year. Just the weather for getting away from it all and partaking of the juice of the grape. Let's hope it's true.

    Yes I thought the photography looked good on that one too, will have to keep my eyes open on the cinema listings but I rarely go.

    Let's hope the weather does look up this summer then, but yes I would be happy walking around Paris for sure. No offence to anybody, but I've never felt the urge to visit America, however I have to admit to warming to New York quite a bit now after watching all that Woody Allen. France, Italy etc are still well at the top of my list though.

    Now here's something incredibly interesting. I have just eaten a cheese sandwich.

    I am now eating my main meal of the day and it's salad with prawns and egg with a few pickled onions thrown in for good measure. The wine is an unusual White Beaujolais 2009 and it's very good. To finish, I will be having some Bagel Chips.

    Two koláče, one apricot and the other is cherry, purchased from one of my favorite Czech bakeries in West; a small Czech enclave south of Dallas / Ft. Worth. The koláče is accompanied by a cup of fresh ground coffee and a splash of milk.

    Oh, I love kolache's, Gilliatte, and people are always saying, "What are those?"

    "We look at the world, at governments, across the spectrum, some with more freedom, some with less. And we observe that the more repressive the State is, the closer life under it resembles Death. If dying is deliverance into a condition of total non-freedom, then the State tends, in the limit, to Death. The only way to address the problem of the State is with counter-Death, also known as Chemistry." -- Thomas Pynchon, Against the Day

    OK, having cut the grass and de-iced the refrigerator, I decided that I was in need of a couple of beers, so I did just that. This made me too tired to contemplate cooking and so I have just eaten a cheese sandwich and am drinking another bottle of red wine with some roasted and salted cashew nuts. I don't know if I can stand being in the fast lane for much longer.
