while husband away last night enjoying Brighton alcohol with uni mates, i took to the sofa and our cinema like-tv (accompanied by a full bar of green and black’s darkest) to watch ‘On a Clear Day’. Peter Mullan’s performance as an out of work docker aged 55 was excellent and i found his excitement of taking on the challenge of swimming the Channel simply inpsirational. It’s a feel-good movie so – of course – there is the emotional pain element he needs to encounter, but a good Northern dramedy is sometimes just what you need…..
