A movie seemed to be a good way to spend a rather gloomy day. It turned out that the brightest spot in the day was the splendid carpet in the movie theatre.

The movie, Thelma, which I expected to be a laugh a minute was in fact more about the depredations of old age – or perhaps that was what I chose to focus on. There was a lot about how others regard old age and there was a rather wonderful relationship between a grandmother and her grandson.
