• Tivat: marking and Rubix Festival

    August 9, 2024 in Montenegro ⋅ 🌙 26 °C

    No, I've not been completely lazy out here. Yes, I've been hard at it doing my little online chore for Bournemouth University. Apparently, they still need me - or someone just as cheap and available.
    Me and my marking buddy. Dave Young managed to pretty much put the marking to bed today. But I keep saying, 'this is definitely it now. I'm going to retire from proper work. - properly.' Well that's it. I'm done, spent, an empty husk.
    So this afternoon you'll be thrilled to learn that. I had a. bit of a doze in the heat, had a stroll down to the waterside, and stopped off for an (average unfortunately) pistachio ice cream.
    You were commenting on my 'banging tunes' mention Colin. Well the latest bit of noisy so called entertainment in town is the 'Rubix Festival of Music, Art, Theatre and Technology'. Gulp. Really? In little old Tivat?
    I didn't get too involved. The ticket prices were exorbitant. 'Headlining' on the first day was Isabella Rossellini (Don't know what she did. Talked maybe).
    When I took the shot at the festival entrance, all I could hear was a Euro-pop-rock band with a lead singer trying to channel Patti Smith.
    Thank goodness there's another film festival coming up later this month.
    More. to follow.
