Long lunch
So, here I am, sat with the family, having lunch in a French restaurant. It was worth driving through the torrential rain yesterday.
QotD: My Intro to the Big Screen
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
Question submitted by mainmor.
It was Bambi.
And yes, I remember crying when his Mum was killed.
I also vividly remember seeing Star Wars when I was 6. My little brother fell asleep during the film, only waking up when the Death Star was blown up.
Mum, on the other hand, was slightly bored, and never really understood my obsession with buying every single Star Wars figure I could, right through until my mid-teens.
Ah, happy days.
Not There Yet
I should be in the house in the picture above tonight, but thanks to having our flights cancelled from under us, I'm not.
In 24 hours, I should be there. I've got a ride in the chunnel and a long drive ahead of me, but I'm looking forward to the break. Not sure how much internet access I'll have, so I'll see you all soon…
The Snip
I've not had a lot of luck with haircuts of late. The place I'd been going for half a decade closed down earlier the year, the place I tried in Lewisham gave me a military scalp and the first place I tried in Soho was keener on giving me champagne than a decent cut.
Then, finally, I found somewhere decent, a greek chap in a side street. Hurrah!
And then I was seconded to Sutton. Boo!
After two months without a cut, I crumbled and went for a trim in Sutton. It was the cheapest haircut I'd had in about three years and I'm rather pleased with it.
What do you think?
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
At 3.30pm today, I am due to be taking off for Poitiers.
This will not be happening.
The flight was cancelled, thanks to the current situation, and I've spent much of the evening sorting out an alternative.
I'll now be driving Lorna and Mum onto a train at 11am on Sunday, and we'll head to France through the channel tunnel.
Hurrah!
One day, I'll fly away
So, I'm due to fly to France on Saturday.
Ah ha. Ha ha. Ha.
Ha.
I wonder how much the ferries cost.
