In other news:

I shaved my moustache off yesterday but kept the beard. I now look like a bloated #Amish man.

2 days of temperatures around 29° Celsius have killed about 25 flowers on my #CherokeePurple #tomato plants. 😕

I purchased a new hoe from #Bunnings - $74 including delivery!

A new load of lucerne was delivered yesterday. This time I didn’t need to climb over them to get to the paddock gate as my better half had a chat to the new delivery driver on Sunday. 🤗

I would always comment to Tristan about how tomatoes all over USA never seemed as good as the #Amish tomatoes in #FortWayne / #Grabill #Indiana - although my father was a chemist / business executive for #RC soda and #Pepsi soda, #Dad grew up on a produce farm (Ohio) and my parents would go to the Amish in Grabill in season.

Peter Weir – „Der einzige Zeuge“ (1985)

Ein Thriller über Gewalt, Macht und den Preis der Moderne unter dem ein stiller Essay über Kapitalismus, Gemeinschaft und Entfremdung liegt. Ein Cop bringt urbane Gewalt in die Amisch-Gemeinschaft in Pennsylvania. Das war mehr als ein dramaturgischer Trick, sondern viel mehr ein filmisches Experiment von Peter Weir über das, was passiert, wenn ein System auf seine Antithese trifft. Ein unvergesslicher Film. Und ein Zeugnis der Achtziger, mit Harrison Ford und Kelly McGillis. (ARD, Wh.)
