Perhaps one of the best ways to not think about today's worries is to lose oneself in a good story either in a book/ movie. I had just finished watching the enjoyable limited series Queen's Gambit about a female chess player which BTW turns out to be fiction. Then, last night a charming sleeper came across the ocean and our way via Netflix called Fisherman's Friends.
It's a true story 'mostly' based on fact about a group of 10 mostly lobster fishermen who end their work days in a local pub, The Golden Lion, in Port Isaac in Cornwall. They polish off their couple of pints amidst singing songs about sea shanties. They are discovered by some tourists who are in the music industry and make their singing debut by getting a recording contract and landing on the music charts. Amidst some fish stories this sweet movie tugs at one's heartstrings about true friendships. |

A good 2 hour escape for sure ...
