poliphiloIt had been raining hard and the ground was soaked but now the sun was shining- and it seemed like an ideal time to be planting Spring bulbs...
I used a tool like an outsize apple-corer. You screw it into the soil, remove a cylindrical plug, drop a bulb in the hole, then replace the top end of the plug. It's really rather satisfying.
Ailz went to the Meeting. When she came back she had a story about how one of the members- an old chap who makes waves but is essentially harmless (I make allowances because I think he is (a) very lonely (b) suffering from the early stages of dementia)- has had a letter from Quaker Central telling him he is now longer welcome. Ailz was shocked. I am shocked. No one consulted us about this- and I thought the Quaker way was to engage the membership and seek a common mind...
While she was out I settled down to watch Rivette's Duelle- in which Bulle Ogier and Juliet Berto- as a daughter of the Sun and a daughter of the Moon respectively- vie with one another for the possession of a mystical gemstone in a perpetually crepuscular Paris. It's a rare, rare movie- but the YouTube site that hosts it also has Rivette's legendary Out One- which is even rarer and runs for 13 hours. Well, well, well...
Rivette is my favourite director.
