Sunday was quiet. I woke up early and relaxed watching Brooklyn Nine Nine. After my wife woke up, I took her to the shops where she visited one store and bought some cards and a cake for friends of ours. When dropping it off, I had a socially distant chat with them and later, an old work colleague. Sadly, he had contracted COVID but has got over the worst of it. He is still affected by shortness of breath but also mentioned GI symptoms which he did not go into in detail as we were on the street!
I did try taking my son out for a bike ride, but as it started to drizzle, he stayed at home after cycling up and down the road. My daughter had gone for a walk by herself so I continued my exercise alone. I am missing out on my Wednesday bike rides, but I need to keep up exercising as my stomach has been getting bigger. My main challenge though is to get my daughter on her bike over this time.
I did get to watch Clone Wars with my son, but it has been annoying that the episodes appear to be out of order. We watched one episode that may have been a prequel to the first episode in the first series. And we are on the third series now!
But the highlight of my day was watching 21 Bridges with my wife. (Though eating the jam tarts her and my daughter made cake second.). The film was predictable in places but was quite enjoyable, despite the high body count. When it comes to police films, I would rate it better than average, and much better than the comedy we had tried to watch beforehand (we stopped after ten minutes of that). With predictable films, what I am interested in is how he film is directed. Are there major plot holes, and I do not think that this had any major ones. And while predictable, it was in places once the story had evolved. The strength of the film is the evolution and this is a film I would recommend as a lockdown film to watch.
Anyway, time for work!
