Monday aerobics and swim (bit too busy). Fell asleep watching Repair shop. Marie Antoniette. Mastermind. Only connect. University challenge. An Italian film 18 The Catholic school. Could the school have done anything to prevent misogyny and bullying leading to murder. The structure of the film was wierd as it went backwards in time and it was hard to distinguish the characters many of whom had wierd homelives. The priests were clearly ineffectual and bought off by rich parents. Perhaps morality should have been stressed more as some might copy the film which would be very wrong.
