Superman Returns
Jul. 9th, 2006 12:55 amSo Friday was the big trip to the moving pictures.
njamos and I went out to the early morning session of Superman Returns.
( Random Ramblings Under Here )
Afterwards we had planned on getting a late lunch (yes, I consider 1pm as late for lunch :P), but anywhere we looked for cheap simple lunch was too crowded or too closed (our normal before-or-after movie places being long-since closed) not that we really *needed* lunch anyway - large popcorn is a little too large, we only managed somewhere between a quarter and a third of the box between us. So, we went home. Well, I went to the shops first to pick up my computer I'd dropped off in the morning to have the power supply replaced. I hadn't realised the other one was so noisy even in normal mode!
About the only other noteworthy thing happening during the week was a lunch on Tuesday, for a workmate who by now is over in Greece and Cyprus until year's end - bit of change from the routine and chance for a nice bit of steak (they've cut down on the "jus" but still need to do the same for the salad dressing). The artificial streams along the old Claise Brook have been closed down for "winter" *pokes clouds for this rain stuff that's meant to appear in winter*. The small lake that's part of these is also draining, the first metre or so around the edges is just mud, but at least the ducks are happy to go nosing around in it.
So, that's about it, stuff continues much as usual; waved coworkers off, gained new computer parts (and external hard drive for backups, much quicker than burning cds), did the meet-up and movie thing for the first time in years, and once more into one of my uncommunicative moods (even for me) where I pretty much can't think of anything to say. Perfectly normal week.
