A breakfast meeting at 9.30 means 7.30 out of bed, and again this is only because the face needs decreasing and the body needs enough caffeine to allow it to function on a level akin to my breakfast dates. That said I arrived early and couldn't wait so breakfast was eaten on my own before my date arrived. I did contemplate a second breakfast, but soon remembered I have a few nights out coming up and would really have nothing to wear if I out grow the one dress suits all outfit I will be wearing to each of these evenings. So I was forced to sit and watch whilst my dates ate their breakfasts far too slowly for my liking, and I had to content myself with inhaling deeply the aroma's of toasted teacakes, date No.2 did offer half a teacake, but the speed at which the plate was retracted lead me to believe my assumption, that this was purely a gesture and not one I should accept.
Casa Kirkhill was next on the agenda, the house viewing. Directions were given and arrival was marked with coffee, rock cakes and a guided tour, I was disappointed that I didn't get one of those machines, you know the ones they give to people who visit museums and suchlike, which details each room as you enter, and gives the history of every artifact in those rooms. I remember the last time I had one of those, Barcelona, Gaudi oh I love Gaudi and the Segrada Familia, Casa Batllo, me and my headset wandered around oohing and awing in all the right places, taking in the wonders that Gaudi had to offer. The Serpent head balconies and the supporting pillars that look like bones. Was I really in Barcelona, or had I been transported to Hogwarts, how would I know, do I really care. Davina your in Blackburn get a grip.
Buba was my next stop, oh I haven't seen him for ages, today was the day he discovered his left arm, obviously gonna be a lefty like his Mum, but I really couldn't decide if he kept extending his arm in the vain hope of becoming Superman and flying out of Grandma's or away from me, the fact that he appeared to be tugging at his sleeve with his right hand lead me to believe he was trying to do a Clark Kent, but starting with his sleeve and not the neck tie as is usual. Of course he could just have been trying the To Infinity and Beyond line, but considering speech is currently not his strong point, it came out more of a squeal.
We bid farewell to the little man and took ourselves off for some R & R, again thats not quite how it worked out, having a driver in front of you going well under the speed limit tends to irritate your nominated driver, and lead to murderous thoughts especially should this make us late, we arrived at the Cinema in one piece, and mercifully for the other driver, without causing GBH or road rage, or other kind of damage, well other than the teeth gnashing kind. Even being 20 minutes late we still arrived during the trailers, we found our seats, almost as some other people were in ours. We sat, we muted the phones, and the film began.
Team Jacob it is then, I cant help it if he was the first to get his kit off, and might I add Im positive it was less than fives minutes into the film. The stage was set, the grin was ear to ear, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute. My only disappointment is I have to wait a bloody year for the second half.
