On the road to Cainscross

Another relaxed day. Set off for cinema at 11.30, just as the Boxing Day shoot was starting in the fields behind our house. Glad I missed that!

Met my friend J, we got our 3-D glasses and food supplies and went in to watch Avatar: the way of water.
Why this film? Well, my niece, TML's daughter, helped make the costumes. It was her first commercially successful film, so I wanted to see her name in the credits.
My eyes hurt from watching 3D, and I thought the film could have been shorter than three hours, but I thoroughly enjoyed the flying and diving scenes, as well as the final battle scene, which lasted about an hour. There was a certain similarity to Titanic, but the director was James Cameron, so no surprises there. It will take me longer than a few hours to process all I saw. I don't normally watch fantasy or action films, or anything that might be called violent.

J and I had a quick discussion about the film, then I set off to walk along Cainscross Road, to calm my senses and reach the house of my friends F and D. A distinct chill was in the air, while the sun was setting behind the former medical centre.

When I arrived at my friends' house, I found it was notto a tea party as I'd expected, but high tea. So much food! I think we did it proud. Another friend, J, was there, and we also enjoyed making and using Christmas 'fortune tellers', because J wanted to play games.

F drove us back, and I promptly fell asleep watching a programme about Dickens! I'm still tired, still happy.
