Yesterday we went to see Black Adam - it was good fun! It's probably the best DC-based film we've seen (other than Superman, we've found most of the adaptations rather tedious). A well-paced story seemed to be the key and there were some rather good fight scenes and Dwayne Johnson (who clearly knows his limitations) gets the central character just ( Read more... )

Saturday's forecast: 16C/61F cloudy and breezy. The morning started with bright sunshine so Mr Cee planted 40 tulip bulbs in the garden ready for Spring.

It was very quiet while I was there, she usually has ( Read more... )

This week is already flying past. Yesterday I walked up to my local town in the morning to get my hair cut. It's easier to walk there as it's only about 3 miles and there's nowhere to park as they are doing some long term roadworks right near the salon. It's quiet on a Monday so we could have a nice chat. Afterwards I did a bit of shopping and Mr ( Read more... )

Dashboard temperature on our way back from Tai Chi in the park this morning. We ended up under the trees as it was so hot in the sunshine and as our teacher is from Hong Kong (and clearly used to temperatures like this!) we had to persuade her that we fair skinned English people need to be in the shade LOL!
