Monday

Monday was a bank holiday. It was also raining.

I spent the morning listening to Emma Britton on BBC Somerset. Yeah... that's an interesting
radio show.

I feel that i should also let you know that although people have been making a lot of jokes about it, the people of somerset are taking the tax on cider VERY seriously. It seems it's all anyone wants to talk about and for some reason, they think ringing their local radio station and shouting is going to do anything.

After eating toast and tomato ketchup for lunch (which, and i know it's disgusting, is becoming one of the main parts of my diet), i decided that the whole day cannot be spent listening to a woman who likes to be called "Extra-Large Emma" insulting Easter bonnets made by 8 year old girls. I suggested going to the cinema. I was SHOCKED to discover that in the 6 years my grandparents have been living in this town, they haven't once been to the cinema. Odd. Anyway, i looked and found out which film was on. Yes, just the one film, maybe this is normal? I am embarrassed to admit that i am horribly unaware of how the world works outside of London. Is this normal? Anyway, it was Nanny McPhee. My Grandad refused to go. He's like that.

Shall i tell you what i thought? No? Well i'm going to anyway.

Firstly, the cinema. My grandmother and i both expected the cinema to be dirty, falling apart and full of chavs, much like the rest of the town. But it really wasn't, i'd go as far as saying it's the nicest cinema i've ever been to! It was outstandingly clean, nothing like the cinema near me which probably hasn't been cleaned in the last 4 years. And the seats were really comfy and there was loads of space so i could sit like a normal person rather than a pretzel. AND it was really cheap! only £4.50 for both of us. So, you know... if you're ever in Bridgwater on a rainy bank holiday - Scotts Cinema. It's next to the Bingo place.

Now, the film. I liked it! But, i'm not fussy with films. Every film i watch, i find exciting and fascinating and wonderful. I really should learn to be more cynical. It was fun and light hearted and pretty. There were some very silly childish bits but i think that's what i liked about it - i found them all really funny. So did my Grandmother, she was laughing a lot, possibly the most out of anyone there. She even got a bit tearful at the end. The thing i liked best about it were the animals, they were cute and funny, i've decided that i want a piglet, they're like orangutans, they have adorable wispy bits of hair and lovely smiley faces. and the can climb trees... i think.
