Synchronicities abound...
Fellow Britons may have caught the news item yesterday about Hugh Grant being arrested for throwing a tub (tub, not tin... yes, OK, he assaulted the guy as well...) of beans at a reporter. Kai heard it on the 6 o'clock news and gazed at us in bemusement.
"Threw a tub of baked beans at him? Tch', that's as bad as being menaced with a shoe-horn..."
It hurt to laugh.
Hugh Grant was in the DVD we watched tonight, An Awfully Big Adventure (a pressie from Lutra - we finally both found time to watch. Ken even managed to stay awake for all of it.) I watched it for the delectable Mr Rickman, of course, having forgotten that Hugh Grant was also in it (and what a delightfully horrible man he was!). But to my bemusement the female lead had been brought up by her aunt and uncle - Aunt Lily and Uncle Vernon!
A good film, if a little grim. Unfortunately I worked out the big twist ten minutes after Rickman made his entrance, but there you go...
Kai has a friend coming around for the afternoon. I need to get some housework done, dammit.
