The rest of the weekend
Well I said I was looking forward to this weekend and I was right to.
Saturday was the BCC, Sunday lazy until my folks arrived and today was grand too.
Folks turned up Sunday aft and we didn’t do a huge amount but they did have a go on WiiFit and embarrassed themselves thoroughly. Actually they weren’t bad and my ma came out at 45. A good 17 years younger than her actual age and younger than Charlie managed on her first go (NB This is work Charlie aka by far the fittest person I know)
Then they watched The Jungle Book and then to bed.
Today we didn’t rush in the morning before heading out for a walk in the country. We looked on a local map and decided a nice 8 mile round trip around Tilton would be a grand bet; and so it was.
Gorgeous weather, not too muddy ground and a nice pub half way round. As I said a grand day.

And that’s not the end of it!
Me, Clurb and Rod headed out to watch El Orfanato at the Phoenix. Well worth the trip. Spooky, scary and with a good few jumps. It’s those fillums with kids that spook you.
Recommended.
Oh and I haven’t mentioned the very oddest thing wot’s happened to me this weekend.
I had an answerphone message from someone at the BBC saying
I’m researching Henry Stanley Tibbs and I’m after relatives. Can you call me back on……
Never heard of the guy but after googling him found this. Wow, another famous person in the family (t’other was Stanley van Beers).
As I say though I’d never heard of him before.
Weird.
PS And Have I Got News For You with Brian Blessed was superb.
