Cinema

Going to the cinema was like going back to the 70s, except without the smell of smoke. There are obviously no counters selling huge buckets of popcorn but instead a couple of vending machines. The best thing was that before the film there were little local adverts like in the old days - not curry house here (of course!) but things like health food shops and motorbike shops. We all managed the film OK - the kids better than me I imagine - but then again it was only Night at the Museum 2 so not exactly an intricate plot. It was strange to see people like Ricky Gervais and Ben Stiller voiced in French though.

After that we took the kids to the roller-skating club's open day - how provincial are we??!! Toby as usual when he is asked to do anything new said he didn't want to go but he absolutely loved it and is going to join next term, which means nice quiet Saturday mornings for us. Around here kids seem to go to various sports clubs on Wednesdays and Saturdays rather than being at home shouting like Toby and Livi at the mo.
