second best

Our original plan of a few days in Paris to celebrate our last anniversary as the two of us, had to be shelved for a few reasons. Firstly because we couldn't afford it, then I couldn't get time off work anyway and obviously neither of us would have been able to remember the day, so even a day trip (like last year) would have been pointless. Instead we celebrated yesterday, a day late, with some food and a film.

The film was The Descent and it was very good. I had an older, very cynical woman sitting next to me and her remarks throughout the film sent me into fits of giggles, but even she had to walk out at one point when it got a bit gory. I stayed, clutching Mr McMuffin's hand and peeping through my fingers at the screen. There aren't many films that make me do that and I'm pleased to say that the director of Dog Soldiers has pulled off another stylish low budget film.
