The ramblings of Keane Ingram

Everyone has recovered from their chest infections thankfully, so things are a bit less fractious. Nicky even slept through last night! We had a reasonable long weekend as well.

Anna and I went to see The Hunger Games at the cinema last Thursday, which was spoiled by four people behind us talking throughout. I really haven't missed the cinema in the almost two years it has been since we last went, if we wanted to watch a film with constant mindless chattering we could have stayed at home and saved £30! Vue have not responded particularly well to my complaint (whatever happened to cinema ushers?) and as it stands we will definitely never be attending another Vue cinema. As for the film itself, perhaps it's unfair to judge it based on this experience, due to the innappropriate noises coming from behind us (laughing at children killing each other, giggling at two people kissing), but we felt it lacked a certain something from the books. On the way there Anna and I had wondered whether it was possible for people to miss the satirical point of the film, clearly the people behind us proved that it is entirely possible!

I've definitely got the cycling bug now. I didn't go on it all weekend and was itching to go out yesterday, but the rain stopped me. I went out this morning though and broke the 5 mile barrier for the first time. I'm definitely feeling fitter but there's a long way to go yet...
