We watched a number of films during the holiday, some good, some indifferent and then those nominated for a BAFTA.
"The King's Speech", "Les Miserables" and "Quartet", I had seen before and enjoyed watching again.
"Wikileaks" was interesting if a little dark - Benedict Cumberbatch was unrecognisable/brilliant.
"The Butler" and "Captain Philips" (Tom Hanks as a US merchant ship captain stormed by Somalian pirates), were goo.
"All is Lost" ( Robert Redford almost lost at sea, taking an eternity to be saved, not a lot of dialogue when only one character, just the odd f.....) and "Gravity" (George Clooney and Sandra Bullock lost in space) were absolute tedious garbage.
Amazingly, these last two are in the running for BAFTAs - we're just glad that we didn't pay to see them, just whiled away a couple of hours on sea days.
it seemed longer!
Today is glorious, warm and sunny.
I've been to church and caught up with friends, leaving germ-ridden aj in bed.
I've been to Coleshill to buy papers, had the post church cappuccino, which was delicious and we are vegging in the lounge, in the sunshine, with the papers and TV.
Disgraceful!
The field is still very wet, but no puddles, the electric fence gone, I haven't looked further, yet.
Lots of planning for the next few months with friends, family and church events.
Shorter term, the eggloo needs cleaning out and moving - an apt name!
