I see that this short film was classified by the BBFC a couple of days ago, due to be released in September. It was made in 1902, 10 years before the BBFC was created. The colour is added as is the soundtrack (there are other soundtracks for the film).
U certificate for fantasy violence.

It's not remotely realistic
George Melies directed, produced, edited and wrote the script vaguely based on Jules Verne's From the Earth to the Moon and H G Wells's "The First Men in the Moon". He was also Professor Barbenfoullis, the lead astronomer, and also the Moon

Stay safe with your phone calls El     

 

Might be play offs today Moons. Hard one to call - both attack but I fancy Brentford. Probably totally wrong.

 

Take Moonies advice and stay safe troops. It's pretty simple.

Evening all 

We had a visit from eldest son and BB today. Son was helping hubby make a new frame for my raised bed - to put netting over to keep out the cats and birds. Before he left, BB gave us a list of things he wants to do tomorrow.
I hope you’ve all had a good day 

Hi Yogi 

I bet that list was looooong 

Its nice to be able to have visitors again, eh? 😉

There's an area of Cheltenham known as Fiddler's Green (near the GCHQ).

 

In maritime folklore, Fiddler's Green was an afterlife for sailors who had served at least 50 years at sea  where there was a fiddle which never stopped, dancers who never tired and constant mirth. Unlikely to be why the Cheltenham area would be so called. More likely that someone called Fiddler used to own some fields there.

May be of interest to Ros. "Messe des pÊcheurs de Villerville" (1881) was a collaboration between Gabriel FaurÃĐ and his former pupil AndrÃĐ Messager. Composed before the Requiem and  a lesser work. The mass is in 5 sections:

  1. Kyrie (Messager)
  2. Gloria (FaurÃĐ)
  3. Sanctus (FaurÃĐ)
  4. O Salutaris (Messager)
  5. Agnus Dei (FaurÃĐ)


The Agnus Dei (14.45) is possibly the most interesting as having touches of the Requiem.
