We went to see Indiana Jones last night. When we were discussing it afterwards we couldn't remember the last time we actually made it to the pictures. I maintain it was when we were last in England and that we have not made it to the cinema while back in the Philippines this year! But we couldn't remember what we had seen! The film itself was OK and nothing more. It lived up to the Indy franchise in terms of action, and I am glad they acknowledged Ford's age but the plot was weak. And to think it cost us over £12 for the tickets (1000 pesos) - we could have bought 4 DVDs for that!! The UK is going to price the audience out of the cinema again. It cost another £5 for coffee and popcorn (I'm getting older - I like coffee in the cinema!). Madness.
Then, when we got home - after 11:00 p.m. - we got engrossed in the documentary on tribal wives and while it was very interesting, it meant we did not go to bed till after 12. What were we thinking? Naomi and Josh were up at 5:30 and though I managed to get them off again, Rose got up at 6:20. I'm still trying to catch up on sleep lost while camping so that was silly!

Camping
Camping was a lot of fun. Not least because of seeing my friend Claire and her family again. But it was so cold. I was wearing 4 layers most of the time and we did not take enough warm blankets for the nights. In fact, before we left my parents' house we were looking in the loft for more clothes and found our winter hats and gloves and scarves - how I wish they had come with us! But the weather was mostly dry - which was amazing. God was gracious in letting us get our tents up before the rain started and we had everything packed up when the next rain started!
We were camping right by a stream and the kids (all 6 of them that could walk by themselves!) spent a lot of time in it getting soaked!
Because it was midweek there were very few people there and we were relieved to be leaving Saturday as lost of people pitched up (pun intended!) on Friday once school had finished for the day.
But the most idiotic thing i did was forget to take my camera. Thankfully, Claire had hers so got some pictures.
