I’m watching one year at the time. Started with the 1910s, and I am now at 1956.

Just put them on.

At the moment my wife is at work, the baby is sleeping. Had a great day off work. Had a 15km walk, dinner with all three of us, and now I can do another thing I love, see a good movie.

I do have a job, but during covid I have an office at home.

This week however, I am on a delayed paternity leave, since my job needed me to come back two weeks early in January. So I traded it for a week off in April, and another in May.

She sleeps about 10.30 am to 12 pm (an hour and a half) early in the day, and from about 8 pm to 8 am at night.

We help businesses with customer service, IT, collecting debt, credit administration, legal administration, sales and other services. I was the first employee in 2015, as I had known the top guys for years. We’ve since grown exponentially, even through covid and changing laws. I am responsible for handling the largest clients and biggest cases, of course in cooperation with IT, lawyers etc. Probably not as exclusive as it sounds, but it is an interesting job.

It is based on the memoirs of André Devigny, a member of the French Resistance held in Montluc prison by the occupying Germans during World War II. Very well made French movie from 1956. Quite enjoyed it.

Haha I don’t think so, but it’s a much loved movie. 100% rating on rotten tomatoes, and it won best directing at the Cannes film festival. Worth seeing, if French talking and English subtitles don’t bother you.
