yet More...

Up to Summerhall to see the recording of BBC’s Breaking the News. The place was strangely quiet we we arrived at 11:30. The SK checked her tickets. Ah, the Pleasance Courtyard. Still, we got there just in time to press in at the end of the hundreds of retired old freeloaders. And an enjoyable (if long) session it was. Jim Smith - top man again. And Gareth Waugh had his moments too, including the best revenge joke ever, ever. Eleanor Morton … not so much. 
Onward! To the Fruitmarket to see Mark Cousins film thingy, “Like a Huge Scotland” - inspired by Barns-Graham’s paintings  - Cousins has made an immersive, multi-screen installation "in which to enfold the viewer in an angry elegy to a retreating glacier and a passionate tribute to a great artist.” 
Not often you get the chance to get enfolded in an angry elegy. Actually that’s not true. Letting in last minute equalisers does my nut in, and the folk sitting round about too. A retreating glacier? Not so much.

Oh, and later, The Stranger, a cracker of an Aussie film with a fabulous soundtrack (yes, audio landscape if yers must) and terrific acting by Joel Edgerton and Sean Harris.
