Started watching "The Gentlemen" on Netflix this weekend, and am finding it quite enjoyable. Good acting, well filmed. Stars Theo James and Kaya Scodelario.
Joanne and I enjoyed the series. Plenty of Guy Ritchie "Colour". The Locations and outfits add a lot to the experience.
Be on the look out for the effortless "septic" comment from Ray Winstone's character. I can explain it later if you like.

Working on a Factory Trawler in the Bering Sea, with lots of Norwegians on board, I find in general that Norwegian wood tends to be smallish. Not that that's a bad thing. I don't like any competition in that realm, and as I've stated many times my real interest lies around back.
Shouldn't that be "aft", given the nautical setting.
And if the sailors were dismissed for being naughty, would they be (dishonorably) discharged Sea Men?

Alan Carr is a semi-frequent guest on The Graham Norton Show, and is always hilarious. He reminds me of Charles Nelson Reilly.

(Sunday)
Joanne's Australian nephew, who is currently based in New York, was flying into SFO to work with a client in San Jose as part of an ongoing project, and asked if it was possible we could meet up.
So we decided to make a day/ afternoon of it and see what was worth seeing on the peninsula before meeting him.
Who knew there was a 98 room beaux arts mansion/chateau in Hillsborough?

Or that there is a water temple just off I-280

Then a bit of culture, art and history in Stanford University.
Makes you think, doesn't it?
More sights / (steampunk?) architecture at Stanford.
It's amazing what being one of the big four robber barons will get you!
And then on to meet up with Joanne's nephew @ http://buckswoodside.com/
They have a virtual tour of all their paraphanalia!

Turns out Joanne's nephew's client is small $2T company some of you may have heard of.
Their offices look nice.
The project is due to last a couple of years, so we may be seeing more of Joanne's nephew in the future!
