A blog mostly about my family. Though I also rant about other things, work, music, films etc.

Iron Man 2
First of all, my son does not have the plague. We got his test results just before lunchtime. Although we did not think that he had it, he is young and the symptoms he would have would be different to what my wife or I would have if we had caught it. So it was a relief.
On the downside, Arsenal lost. Watching Match of the Day was frustrating as our defence let us down. I work with two Spurs fans who are going to be unbearable tomorrow, so I will have to do the best I can to avoid them.
Now it is legal, we did have some friends round for company. With the plague being an issue, I am happy to isolate with just the family, but my wife requires more social interaction. It is understandable as I get to enjoy her company while she has to put up with mine. It was great seeing friends, but I was still nervous about the risk of contracting infections. Especially with the way that social distancing is increasingly being ignored.
Now onto Iron Man 2. I have not watched this film before. I have wanted to, but kept missing it when it was on television. Being on the Disney channel, I suspect that some scenes may have been cut (to make it more acceptable to smaller children) but my daughter and I watched it (with my wife watching bits of it). And like most the Marvel films it was good. Iron Man was never my favourite superhero, but the films make me warm to him more. In essence, he is just a souped up version of Batman who I did love when I was a child. I am looking forwards to watching the third film with my daughter later. Personally, I would prefer to watch the Marvel films in order, but she is not too keen on this. Maybe later and hopefully with my son who refuses to watch them...
