Married to Christine. Currently life sucks with both our health isssues family issues and so forth but I wouldn't change being married to Chris' for over 30 years for anything. Not a tiny bit right-wing. I write, give film opinions, paint and design stuff.
I think somewhere along the line this film is about me and I will end the same way.... #painting #art #LouisWain #cats #Strovey #asortofartist

🎥Wrinkles (2011) another opinion piece in my folders that had goine missing - it was probably on the old one. I loved this film and recommend it. This should make you smile in a gentle manner, but it doesn't sugarcoat old age either 🎥 #FilmSky #movie #film #Wrinkles #FilmOpinion

Wrinkles aren’t so bad, trust me I know…
This is definitely not a film for children and definitely not a film for those of you who are terrified at the prospect of getting old.

🎥Semi Pro (2008) found this opinion in my files, I've never published it, unless it was on my old site that I discontinued, so like a similar one I found I have posted it here with explanations - obviously I'd like everyone to ignore this 🎥#FilmSky #Film #Movie #FilmOpinion #SemiPro

Henry James Strover, would have been 99 today. He kept this painting I did of him during WW2 on the living room wall from the day he got it, until we sold the flat.
