If it's Tuesday, then this is Belgium

[wiseheart]

No, I haven't lost my mind (not completely, at least not yet). This was the title of an old film in my forgotten youth, about some people making a journey around the globe. I don't remember anything else about it - it might be I haven't even actually seen the film - but the title stuck. And it is Tuesday. Even though the farthest I got today was the supermarket. After having fought a seemingly hopeless fight (and achieved an unexpected victory) against the automated ticket selling machine first.

Other than that, not much happened. I worked a bit on my pot holders and transcribed what I wrote yesterday. That's about it. But quiet days are good days.

P.S.: Obviously, I've just jinxed it. An hour ago we had a hefty shower, and now the balcony is leaking again. *sigh*

At least you know it's Tuesday ... I'm losing count!

That's what the TV Programmzeitschrift is for. Otherwise, I'd get confused, too.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

it actually had a remake. I did not see either of them.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

It's all about remakes in these days. Nobody seems to have an original idea.

[chocolate-frapp.livejournal.com]

the remake wasn't recent, it was made in 1987.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Still nothing original, though.

I remember that film, in fact. And the lesser known Three Bites of the Apple, along a similar vein.

Sorry that you are dealing with more flooding.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, well, it was going to happen sooner or later.

I recognised the title straight away - I have been known to say it to blank looks from the younger generation!

Shame about the shower - I do hope you can get that balcony sorted out soon, it must be very annoying for you both.

Especially as it has been going on for years. :(

Quiet days here, too. The heat and humidity have gone. The cool air is so refreshing!

Grrrr. Balcony!

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know, it's getting old with the balcony. Especially after all the time and money it has already cost us. :(

The title song was written & sung by J.P. Raggs..
Which had Norman Fell, Robert Vaughn, Donovan & Patricia Routledge as the most famous people to appear in it.
The movie was aired on regular TV in the 80s when a crappy made-for-TV-movie sequel was released.
The title song is the best thing about it.

Thanks for the details. This is more than I have ever learned about the film.

Sometimes those automated ticket machines are a pain. I have had nightmares about them.

Dang. Sorry about the balcony.

[wiseheart.livejournal.com]

Those machines are nightmare personified. Why they can make normal, usable ones in Austria but not here is beyond me.

I don't watch TV, instead streamed movies/dramas. But, fast running out of good ones, plus my eyes get tired if I watch too much. There is a tropical storm out in the Gulf of Mexico, so we are having quite a bit of rain. Thankfully, unlike you guys, we have no leaks, just a carport that floods but does not wet the inside of the house. Wish you the best with your balcony.

Thanks. It leaked last night again; I poured out about half a liter water from the plastic box I put under the most likely place of the leakage. It's really annoying.
