Our first trip out after lockdown and it was to a mobile cinema in a lorry called the Screen Machine.
This amazing creation houses extention “wings” that spread out on either side of the truck to house a small cinema. It travels throughout the rural communities of the Highlands and Islands bringing films to the masses.
Social distancing restricted its capacity to about 20 people, with lots of space between the rows. There was a lot of attention to cleaning and we had to keep our masks on, so despite my initial concerns that it might feel unsafe, it felt fine.
We saw Nomadland, which we loved. Such a powerful film. Such a commentary on modern life and those that can’t or don’t want to fit into our construct of “normal” living. It seemed especially appropriate to be watching it in a lorry..
As we left the cinema the last shreds of sunset were visible over the sea at Kyleakin, and we returned home, tired but happy.
Loving life on this island.

Thanks for the reminder of this movie – I saw a trailer for it recently and thought it would be a good watch.

It’s definitely worth a watch. Frances McDormand is brilliant in it.

I will go looking for the movie, thanks. You look to be enjoying your ‘retirement’ to the fullest. I’m glad your lockdown is ending, we are under threat of another one, not that I mind working from home at all.

I’ve just read in the papers that the planned full exit from lockdown in June is under threat as the new “indian” variant of Covid, much more transmissible, seems to be taking hold in the UK…😔
