I Think You’re Bonkers

This morning we got up early and headed out to the local cinema to see the Spiderwick Chronicles, which was fun and it’s a good family film as long as you don’t have a kid that’s easily scared or overly sensitive. Freddie Highmore is fab as the twins and the creatures are ace - we liked Hogsqueal best…. The local cinema has a kids thing on a Sat morning where all tickets are £1 for those 2 films - think we may well go back depending what is on!

After that, and sort of taking a roundabout route home, we popped into Focus for paint and after some food I painted the bathroom - it’s now uneven blue rather than uneven dirty magnolia with torn paper. It needs another coat, which will help with the unevenness, and there’s enough in the tin to do that in a couple of days, or when I remember and get round to it. I found a couple of things to go on the wall too and that helps liven it up a bit, but we will be getting a bigger mirror for in there soon.

While the paint was drying we spent an hour or so weeding in the garden and discussing many many things - such as why some people don’t want to live with other people, why the cabbage whites can smell broccoli a mile off, how the flowers in the garden are attracting more varied wildlife now and pondering whether the chickens will like the sunflower heads to peck at, and if they’ll be brown or grey, or what…..  Lost all the broccoli after the shelter got torn and they were all covered in caterpillars, bleurgh.
