Scorsese's body of work explores themes such as Italian-American identity, Catholic concepts of guilt and redemption, faith, machismo, nihilism, crime and tribalism. Many of his films are known for their depiction of violence, and the liberal use of profanity and rock music. In 1990, he founded The Film Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to film preservation, in 2007 he founded the World Cinema Foundation and in 2017, he introduced the African Film Heritage Project.He is 78 years old 🎈

Welcome to my Sunday🎈

I woke up just after 7am....

I couldn't get back to sleep...

So I had a little play with hubby....

Afterwards we enjoyed breakfast in bed.

Now to test the tyres of Sexy Beast.

While I was waiting, a car pulled up by a petrol pump.He didn't fancy that one, reversed out and moved over another pump. He jumped out, filled his car up, he then dropped the petrol cap, it rolled under his car.

He had to move the car to get to it.

He reversed the car, and then went in to the petrol station to pay for his fuel....

I get back.

Kicks off my shoes for my trusty old crocs!
