BUMP | QUIZ of The Day 310 - ANSWERS!

Well as nobody entered, let alone answered 

you must ALL  WIN

 obviously!


You must have all KNOWN it was from Mark Mylod’s film The Menu with Ralph Fiennes Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult of recent enjoyment here at Swappers Mansions
So your prize is at the bottom (where else!?)







a personal favourite actor Anya is little short of mesmerising . . . .well, in pretty much everything!


   
THE MENU


Margot and Tyler (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult), a young couple, travel to an elite, remote, coastal island in order to dine at an exclusive restaurant where a mysterious chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish, expensive menu. But it soon becomes clear that the pretentious, pampered dinner guests are about to be served some shocking surprises. Consumerism takes on a hilariously scary meaning in this dark comedy that features Hong Chau, Janet McTeer, Judith Light and John Leguizamo in an all-star ensemble cast. The Menu is directed by Mark Mylod, with a screenplay by Seth Reiss & Will Tracy.



oh yes!


indeed!

I love when I am playing around with images and get some fashion that I absolutely love. These were made using Midjourney V8.1. Just stunning. There is so much to look at here.

MonaLisa Twins - Solisbury Hill [Peter G cover]

Mona Lisa - Solisbury Hill 

finally sunny here 🌞

The twins say:
Solsbury Hill … We’ve always loved this song, and we’ve always loved Peter Gabriel. We remember watching his tour DVD “Growing Up Live” a lot as kids. It made a big impression on us at that age and we loved his playfulness on stage. The whole band was on fire! This was definitely one of the trickiest songs on “The Duo Sessions III” album.
The lyrics have always spoken to us. He wrote the song after his break with his former band Genesis. He said, “It’s about being prepared to lose what you have for what you might get … It’s about letting go.”
With the kind of unconventional life we’ve been leading, we’ve always found it very relatable and comforting in a way. So, it had to go on the new album!

Leonard Cohen - Dance Me To The End Of Love | O My Soul

 a few severally to wind the day down . . . . 



O My Soul

“Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin. 

Dance me through the panic till I’m gathered safely in. 

Touch me with your naked hand or touch me with your glove. 

Dance me to the end of love..”
