New year resolutions

Readers will be happy to know that I am making progress towards the achievement of at least one new years' resolution.  The one about eating different types of vegetable.  For Christmas dinner (or as part of the salad anyway), I ate a nasturtium flower.  See the link below for more detail about this excellent plant:

Mycroft can also report exposure to Culture over the holiday period, as he entered the world of Art House Cinema for the first time in a little while and saw the movie 'Albert Nobbs'.  Readers can inform themselves about 'Albert Nobbs' at the link below:

They can also read the original short story on which the film is based, as I did.  I must confess to not being able to recall many details of the short story, and was perhaps more entertained in a schoolboy kind of way by inventing different possible titles for the character of Albert Nobbs.  The character's desire to open a tobacconist offered rich possibilities in this regard, particularly if the character went into partnership with someone.  A straw poll of possible naming combinations revealed the following winners:
Nobbs-Handler
Door-Nobbs
Bigge-Nobbs
At which point some other combinations became too rude to appear in a pretentious, pseudo-intellectual blog such as this one.
According to some reviews of the movie, Albert's main problem is being too trusting.  I'm not so sure about this.  I suspect Albert's main problem was boring everyone in the vicinity into a gold plated, intergalactic-class stupor.  That's not to say the film is boring, only that the character Albert seems to have attained a new height in terms of the ability to bore.  If one looked up 'bore' in a dictionary there would be a picture of Albert Nobbs.  A clear opportunity is missed to link the film to the Sherlock Holmes franchise, by bringing in the great detective to investigate 'The Case of the Missing Personality'.  Ah well, one can dream.
