RE: Orwell, Saving the Earth with music and Breakfunch - a new meal

in #hiveblopomo4 years ago

Don't think I've read any Orwell apart from 1984 and Animal Farm. Most of us have no idea of what it means to be really poor, least of all those in government. We all need a bit of perspective to appreciate what others go through.

I saw an obituary for a lady who translated Tintin into English. They had to make up curses for Captain Haddock as the French version had all sorts of slang. I know with Asterix the translators had to work hard to do puns that worked in English. I read those books a lot as a kid.

We watched Boiling Point too. I felt for the camera person who had to keep going that long. I guess for the actors it was like doing a play, but lots of logistical issues. I really have no ambition to work in a restaurant. Looks like it can be pretty grim at times, but I guess there are aspects to enjoy.
