It has been some time since my last post, but before I move onto the family this is the film that we have watched since then.
I have to say that it was a disappointing film with lots of continuity errors and plot holes. As a fun film where you literally need to switch your brain off (most of the time) it is almost an okay film. I would have to argue that it is not worth watching in the first place. I had issues with how the two main characters fell for each other with no real chemistry present between the two, but also with the vanishing woman in the passenger seat of the red car at the start. Not only that, there were issues with a high body count and no police presence let alone how everything was explained at the end of it all.
The kids have been schooling at home. With my wife and I being key workers, we could send both in, but with the severity of the COVID pandemic being what it is, we have felt that doing so is too risky. A friend of ours has sent the two children they have in as the definition of what a key worker is in this lockdown is different to what it was in the last one. We see that with how the streets are busier than they were in the first lockdown and my wife and I have been incredulous to find which shops have managed to open compared to others.
The downside of this is that there have been arguments and on a Tuesday, which is the long day for my wife and I, that is when most of the arguments have taken place. My wife often is in her space suit so the children normally let me know by text what is going on. One argument developed while I was in a meeting. Luckily it was not that important a one which allowed me to try to intervene in this.
But things have been good in the last few days. The only downside is that Leia now favours my wife over me. I realised this on Monday when my wife and I came downstairs to let her out of her crate in the morning to find that she trotted past me to shower my wife with love! Am there was I thinking that I was the alpha!
