Lightyear



The kids are enjoying the school holiday. My son has been helping with tidying the house a bit.  Both claim to be studying for next academic year.  I am sure one is and I am sure that the other intends to do so.

In the morning before work, I took Leia for a walk in Highwoods Park, which as usual, she loved.  It is relaxing for me to take her there, though on one part where I took her off the beaten track, I did have to carry her over some brambles.  She loves walking through the undergrowth, just not where her paws get hurt.  Later in the day, I returned to the park, but in a different area  of the with my daughter for her evening walk.  I had asked my son if he wanted to come but he declined. Leia loved the walk, not just because rabbits came out at dusk (though she did see and chase one in the morning), but because she was with more than one of us.

We all watched Lightyear.  We had intended to watch this on the big screen, but, like with Minions, we did not get to do so.  Most of us liked it, though not all.  We already had some idea about it from Toy Story 2.  I felt that it was an enjoyable fun filled film with an amazing character.  Not sure that there is scope for a sequel, and the end was a bit too corny for 


me.  Overall, a shame that we did not get to watch it on the big screen.
