Day of the mini beast
Weather that has been dubbed the mini beast from the east arrived today. Quite a lot of snow falling this morning in Brighton, and then it resumed in the evening and settled.
Lorraine and I tucked ourselves onto the gold sofa and watched The Kite Runner which we both enjoyed. Also watched The House of Small Cubes, a lovely short animation by Kunio Kato which won an Oscar. Lovely thoughtful symbolism done excellently.
Spoke to Mum who advised us against braving the mini beast. Snow falling still in London.
In the evening, Lorraine and I popped around to see Rosie and Innis, who are off to Brazil for three weeks, mixing business with pleasure. Rosie doing some education work at a conference with a British School, while Innis, poor chap, has lined up some work shooting photos of Brazilian models on a beach.
Then we met Dawn and her new boyfriend David over some pub grub in Shoreham. Clientele a bit noisy it being Saturday night. I ate a spicy bean burger, Lorraine and Dawn had Fish pies, and David had vegetarian fish and chips, which is fried halloumi in batter with chips. More importantly L and I both liked David, and found him interesting and likeable. A man with a hinterland.
Drove home and the mini beast was snowing again. Miraculously, there was a parking spot right outside our house. Happy to be home, and an early night.
