turpsWe decided to swimming yesterday morning, and what a mistake that was. It was a family swimming session, so I should have known it would be busier than during the week which is all lane swimming, but it didn't click just how busy it would be. In the end I tapped out when I hit half my usual lap total, because no way was it possible to swim in a straight line. So, I won't be weekend swimming again.
After that we headed off to see Kayleigh as my baby sister was 40 yesterday. We stayed a couple of hours and I got hulk smashed a bit by Bodhi and had some birthday cake before heading home. I'll be picking Bodhi up from school today, my first Bodhisitting for quite a while, so no doubt I'll be getting Hulk smashed again then, too. I also had a very vivid dream about not picking her up from school and her being left there last night. Guess today's pick up had lodged into my head somehow before I went to sleep.
We've been to see two films in the last couple of days. I Swear was amazing, one of the best films I've seen this year. And then on SaturdayTron: Ares which was loud, brash, visually interesting, and had Jared Leto who is always easy on the eye. So while it wasn't amazing, I didn't regret watching.
Thursday I went to a light show at Durham Cathedral. Our slot wasn't until 7pm, so as we got there earlier than that there was a lot of waiting around to get in, but it was very much worth it. The interior lights were beautiful, and I'm so glad we went.
I'll share a few photos here, but if you want to see some short videos, I've posted at my insta here.

They were all great, in very different ways.

Happy belated birthday Kayleigh :)

Kayleigh had a good birthday, once she'd got over herself being 40 *g*

I saw someone else's review of the new Tron movie here on DW. They were not a fan. They said the thing they liked most was sharing time with their friends... It sounded like they could have happily skipped the movie.

Honestly, I can understand that review too. I liked watching Tron, but more for the visuals, certainly not for the plot as that was barely there.
