Hee hee, I never get tired of that pun...
On Saturday I took Aki to Crystal Gardens - might as well see it before it closes. He was not interested in the plants at all except for the carnivorous pitcher plant. He liked the bats and butterflies sections better - they have a darkened room where the bats are flying around all the time and you can see them not hitting each other. There was a big blue parrot in the centre of the main hall that kept screeching - Aki didn't like that.
Afterwards we went to look for some cheap videos, found an old episode of Thunderbirds, an old Laurel and Hardy (Sons of the Desert, I'd like to find Saps at Sea), The Alamo with John Wayne, and another old Western called The Gatling Gun.
That night Robin came over with Donnie Darko, which we had been meaning to watch for some time, and some porter. Mxo made dinner for all four of us with minimal fuss. Hmmmm. She even drank a bottle of porter, further curiosity. The movie was interesting but I had it sort of figured out halfway through.
I woke up Sunday morning with a stiff neck that turned into a headache I had all day, did not do much except watch some tag-ends of movies. Went to bed early and slept straight through the night. I've been getting a lot of eyestrain and headaches lately. I think I might need new glasses.
Today walking back from lunch I passed under some cherry trees that were almost in full bloom. Smelling the blossoms always brings it home to me that spring is almost here, and we needn't pay to be warm anymore.
So, who's your favourite Young One? Mine will always be Vyvyan!
