Dentist this morning was fine for us both. As was
Pink Planet DVD Exchange, which is still doing its 3 for £10 deal, and where we found
Jurassic Park,
Crocodile Dundee 1, and
Interview with the Vampire.
Tesco, however, was a pain in the arse. Only trudged over there to get two sets of three photos for the grandparents; should only have taken an hour, so as the actual shopping was only going to take fifteen mins, we went up to the café, where I indulged in an apple muffin with toffee-flavoured yoghurt topping (and it was truly delicious). An hour and ten minutes later, with the shopping done but not yet paid for, we went back to the photo section.
They couldn't find the pics.
After a hunt of five minutes, the assistant said they were just going through the machine now - could we come back in ten minutes? So off we trudged to look at their sale DVDs, and went back a little more than ten minutes later.
They still didn't have them ready.
Would we mind waiting a few more minutes? said a different assistant. Not that we had much bloody choice at that point. So we waited, and about five minutes later she bustled over and waved them at me.
"Are these the right ones?" she said.
"Yes," I replied, "but there are supposed to be two of each of them..."
She groaned, and said if we'd like to go and pay at the checkout she'd bring the photos to me when they were all ready. Which she did, although she had trouble finding me. (How? I'm not exactly inconspicuous!)
And when we'd paid I checked the receipt and found we'd been overcharged on the special offer on Ken's organic nuts (stop sniggering at the back!) Though at least they gave me double the difference back, so that was all right.
I was supposed to tank over to Sainsbug's for the rest of the shopping, but by the time we got home we'd been out for five and a half bloody hours and I was too tired. (Ken went on the way back from court, bless 'im.)
My latest LoveFilm choice is
Day Watch, which I've been really looking forwards to. So tonight we watched
Night Watch in preparation: we watched the English dub, which was surprisingly good, and helped along by the Russian accents, so at least the overall feel of the film was right. I'd forgotten how good it is, and Kai, who's never seen it before, loved it, so I have no doubt we're going to enjoy the sequel!
Parents are visiting tomorrow...
