Two films in one day!

Another lovely sunny day today and it was nice to wake up this morning to my alarm clock and not the smoke alarm!

The electrician arrived at 8.30 and with the help of a very long ladder took the smoke alarm down and had a look at it. He said it might be just the battery so I asked him to swap it with the alarm that I can reach and put the other one back to the 'high spot'. At least if it goes off I can get to it. It hasn't gone off so far today so fingers crossed - I seem to do that a lot.

I left to collect Margaret and we drove into Tauranga and bought our tickets to Life of Pi. There were not many people in the cinema but it was 10.00 in the morning so maybe a little early.

I really enjoyed the film and cried a lot but it was really good.

We came out and went to do a few bank things in Tauranga before going to have some lunch and a coffee. We sat outside and we had to ask for a sunshade to be put up as it was just too hot. I had a very nice broccoli and blue cheese quiche.

I got home and was happy to see my photo book had arrived and it is very nice. There are a few things in which I should have done differently but I will know for the next one.

Jon came home early and had a cup of tea and got changed, it was really hot this afternoon. Jon brought home an email with our flights for the UK. They all seem to be OK and so he will confirm them with the agent tomorrow. We will arrive in UK on 10 May and leave on 26 May and we have four days in Chang Mai on the way and one night in Bangkok on the way back. We now need to plan what we will do in Chang Mai apart from the elephant sanctuary I haven't checked much out yet.

We left to go to the cinema at 5.30. Skyfall is now on the last days so not much choice of times and Jon can't do late films as he can't stay awake.

I really enjoyed Skyfall, one of the better Bond films I thought. I was very surprised to see that M died at the end. I hadn't read anything about it in the press and was surprised.

We left and picked up some food on the way back, Jon had a Burger Fuel and I had a lamb Pita Pit salad.

Got home and watched some TV and now it is bedtime again.
