Hotel Fong will be closed this weekend as we are off to Cambridge for the wedding of Mark Reilly and Louise Lenton. First one of the year.
Hopefully the sun will shine down on Trinity College for the day.
I will be there to capture the merriment as usual and I think there will be some newly parented people that are going to follow in the footsteps of the Bushnells and Philips and will mostly be getting trollied.That's the only way to go.
I met up with Max and Stu to watch The Watchmen at the Odeon in town.
Parking in Bournemouth for enough time before and after the movie cost £6, plus I spent a £1 parking behind the cinema only to realise that the movie was for over two hours so I had to move it again.
The whole paying £1 for a premier seat in the middle was a bit duff as well. Remind me not to do it again. When we sat down, because the headrests are quite high for those seats the ones in front actually got in the way. Even worse if you are not that tall!
It was virtually empty anyway. The rows just before the premier section are probably the best ones anyway. No risk of some curly barnet in front of you.
No wonder people rather just buy the DVD when it comes out.
It was a pretty good movie.
Very strange and far too grown up.
Hope not to use it too soon!
Since finishing all the DVD boxsets of Spooks until the season before last, I have now moved onto Planet Earth as the DVD boxset to watch whilst doing the ironing.

Fantastic cinematography and now with behind the scenes footage on how they captured their rare moments.
Things like these make the BBC licence fee worth while.

Having walked along the Boscombe Pier and along the promenade in the lovely sun this afternoon, I actually believe it will end up being very good in the end.
Looking back from the end of the pier, the frontage and the buildings are all taking shape. It probably looks better that the view from the Bournemouth Pier with its Imax building and flyover.
I think Boscombe deserves a break and it will come.

Give us a wave.
