My rebus today is another film I'd never watch 
It's much more up Zoe's street. Wonder if John's watched it.
Hi Pen,
A great pair of rebuses.
The film got mixed reviews, so apart from the genre you are probably right not to put it on your “to-watch” list.
The book Zoe was reading, on the other hand, had glowing reviews including the one quoted but I am not sure it is for.me. How did Zoe find it?
It is a beautifully written and hauntingly evocative novel that transports readers to the heart of World War II Europe. The novel tells the story of a blind French girl and a German boy whose paths collide in occupied France as both try to survive the devastation of World War II. The novel is a Pulitzer Prize winner and has been highly recommended by many readers who enjoy historical fiction or simply appreciate masterful storytelling.

Blue purchased an old, run-down, abandoned farm on the outskirts of Brisbane with plans to turn it into a thriving enterprise. The fields were grown over with weeds, the farmhouse was falling apart, and the fences were broken down.
During his first day of work, the parish priest stops by to bless the Blue’s work, saying, “May you and God work together to make this the farm of your dreams!”
A few months later, the priest stops by again to call on Blue. The farm house is completely rebuilt and in excellent condition, there are plenty of cattle and other livestock happily munching on feed in well-fenced pens, and the fields are filled with crops planted in neat rows.
“Amazing!” the priest says. “Look what God and you have accomplished together!”
“Yes, father,” says Blue, “but remember what the farm was like when God was working it alone!”
A Texan farmer Came to Brisbane for a vacation. He visited Blue’s farm and got talking. Blue showed off his big wheat field and the Texan says, “
Oh! We have wheat fields that are at least twice as large”. Then they walked around the farm a bit and Blue shows off his herd of cattle. The Texan immediately says,”
We have longhorns that are at least twice as large as your cows”. The conversation has, meanwhile, almost died when the Texan sees a herd of kangaroos hopping through the paddock. He asks, “
And what are those”?
Blue asked with an incredulous look, “
Don’t you have any grasshoppers in Texas”?
A couple of days later, Blue noticed a towny picking mushrooms in a paddock where Blue kept his prize bull. The towny noticed the bull and asked Blue, “
Is that bull safe?”. Blue replied, “
Safer than you are!.
I’ll get this off, have a BBQ lunch of cheese topped fried tomatoes and then get a spoiler alert off. I might even have enough energy after that to think of a rebus.
