Ghost cat

Saturday, and a late breakfast. Early afternoon, while Lorraine went to see Beth to discuss baby clothes, I went back to the gym. I had some trepidation having evilled my stomach muscles lifting up the tumble dryer. However I was able to trundle happily on the cross trainer and do a few other bits on weight machines without alarms or re-injuring myself. I didn't do the much needed stomach crunches however, just in case.

At half past five off to the Lewes Depot cinema to see Ghost Cat Anzu a Japanese film with beautiful backdrops and anime characters. All rather lovely. The story fun too, about a girl with a deadbeat dad, and a dead mother being left with her grandfather in a temple in the country. While staying there alone with her grandfather, she is looked after by a ghost cat, who can drive a moped, and uses a mobile phone, and walks upright (and works as a masseuse). They have many adventures, including going back to the land of the dead to talk to the mother. Lots of weird characters, including a tanuki, a giant talking mushroom, colourful demons and the God of Poverty, who kept troubling Anzu's friend, and then the girl. 

On Seaford Station platform we bumped into Andrew and Kate and sat with them as far as Lewes. Then just walking the few yards to the Depot, bumped into Steve who had just seen the Brutalist. The Depot very busy on a Saturday night. 

We were home at about 8:30 and made a cheeky stir fry. To bed after Match of the Day.
