Dear Sheddists,
yesterday, having been confined to barracks for almost two weeks by the dreaded flu, mrs electrofried and I ventured out to the cinema. We watched, "I, Daniel Blake", a supremely moving film which sums up the love, despair and hope that exists in the twisted world of austerity where the avarice of the rich leaves deep and lasting scars on the most vulnerable in society.
So where is the beauty to be found? In two places First, the refusal of the eponymous hero of the film to bow to a faceless bureaucracy. Second, in seeing a very special place. The film was shot in Newcastle-upon-Tyne and one scene showed the very place where mrs electrofried and I first held hands as gawky teenagers all those years ago.
Love conquers all.
yours as ever,
electrofried(mr)
