First of all, the family. They are well, though due to the hours I worked yesterday, I only got to see my wife as the kids were still asleep when I left and were back to bed when I got back home. Today, they have been lovely, though I did not get to do much with them having worked in the vaccination hub in the morning and was knackered afterwards.
Saying that, I had asked my son if he wanted to go with me to walk Leia in the afternoon, but he declined. I took her to Spring Lane Park. She had been taken here by my wife and daughter in the past, and she loved the return here. Saying that, she would love going to any outdoor park really. Gave me some much needed exercise though.
He had surprised my daughter today. It was dark, she was going down the stairs. He waited in the dark and when she got to the bottom said hello. Not boo, just hello. She did not appreciate it. Made me smile when I heard about it though (if I laughed, she might have thumped me).
Our film today was Something Borrowed. I would have been annoyed if I had paid to watch this film. My son gave up on the film first, followed by my wife. My daughter and I had to watch it just to see how it ended. To be fair to the film, it was not so bad that I did not care about the end, but overall, this is a film I would not go out of my way to watch. The plot was sweet enough, but the character Dex, played by Colin Egglesfield, was more wet and pathetic than Rachel, played by Ginnifer Goodwin. I tend not to like the characters played by her in films, and this almost made me like her character. Rachel in this film had a spine at least which is more than can be said for Dex. Overall, like with many RomCom's the plot was predictable, but the journey from the beginning to the end was mostly boring, the excitement being when there was a big plot hole, this being because my daughter and I would complain about how the characters would have really reacted.
Apparently a sequel had been planned. Thankfully, it has not been produced.
