Last night we made the last minute decision to book on-line, and make the 90 mile round trip to Lincoln Odeon Cinema to see Avatar in 3D. We could have seen it in 2D locally, or in Boston, but really fancied the idea of the plastic specs! Booking on-line was extremely straightforward, though there was a booking fee, which I resent enormously. Long journey just over an hour, and the satnav took us to the right road, which turned out to be completely pedestrianised. After a prolonged search we found the cinema and a (relatively) nearby multi-storey car park. Fished around for £3.50 for honour of using tiny parking slot on 6th floor for 3 hours. Ran to cinema as now quite short of time. 2 coffee - £4.00. 2 bags of choc sweets £5.10. 2 Fizzy pop and popcorn combos for big boys £12.00 (this sure was adding up). Seats were about £8.00 each. Having forked out all this hard-earned money it was with some excitement that we breathlessly took our seats just as the film was beginning. IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY! So pleased we made the effort to see it in 3D. Just see it! Its a great story, and marvellous special effects/computer imagery. Its almost three hours long, so our numb bums took a bit of unfolding by the end of the film, but the car skimmed all the long miles home (in manner of lizard flying, or spacecraft or similar) and we were still uplifted by the experience when we arrived back at mud manor (aka home).
Absolutely knackered this morning, restless night dreaming fitfully about 10 foot tall blue natives and strange hairless animals with large teeth. Hoping therefore to sleep like a babe tonight.
Wicked pups have decided that it is hilarious, and exciting, to run away at 7am when they get their first (and only leadless) walk of the day. Therefore new regime commences today, of no walking without leads, some seperation during the day (I'm bringing one to work) and more training.... well we can try. They are very naughty when they are together, and much more angelic when they are apart. Sisters. Always leading each other astray.
Go see the film.

It's like having two children, isn't it? I like that you're separating them occasionally. Wouldn't want them to learn how to effectively gang up on the humans, now, would you?
Yow, that movie must be good if it's worth all that money for the necessities! Don't know if my bladder would hold out for three hours, though.
