Are you still my sweetheart? Or is the dream of London dead?

BUt it is beautiful enough to maybe justify that it stands around admiring its own beauty so much instead of getting a move on with things.

A totally legitimate approach if you ask me.

(I am glad that even if it is tiring to watch films, it's not completely impossible.)

I was fine with it on Monday, but by the time it was Friday and it was still going on and on, I was beginning to wonder if I would ever be free of it or it was like some S&S thing where I was trapped with an everlasting 18th C painting in disguise as a period drama. I already think of it more fondly now it's finally over! \o/ I'll probably watch it again one day & it'll be better when I know what to expect and can do it in less sessions.

(And the narrator was of course Michael Hordern, which did think it must be, but I was second-guessing myself right to the end. XD)
