loved the film. My wife came with me to watch it. I did not want my children to come, one has watched bits, is revising and did not like what she had watched. The other has not watched the first at all. I am biased as I may have watched Top Gun about 100 times or so, but I did like this. I was concerned that it was going to have too much testosterone in it, but it did not. Yes, a lot of the plot was predictable, but the film was well put together. I suspect that most of those who did not like the original would not like this.
Today was the street party. I had gone to work in the morning after taking Leia out for a walk and got back too late to help my wife take food to the party. I did get to take Leia as my daughter stayed at home to revise while my son had helped my wife take the food down. There was an ‘interesting’ discussion about the less admirable aspects of the local Boys Grammar School where two women appeared to be defending it or making excuses. We did leave early, my son having left earlier to returned home. I ironed and then my wife and I went to the cinema.
Tomorrow is going to be busy for her and me in our jobs, but I do feel refreshed after this long weekend.
