Doing it American Style

"Saturday night at the movies". Saturday night we drove into Southampton town, picked up burgers and chips from Maccy D's (and chicken nuggets for my big child in the drivers seat) and headed to the Drive in!

The film was Forest Gump a proper classes and the night was really fun. There was a curry van on the side lines and we got to watch the lights of the big shopping center shut down for the night and the buzz of the town after dark surrounded us. The local radion station WaveFM sponsored it and the DJ was sat in a parked van behind all the cars with the film projector. We all tuned into the same channel to listen to him introduce the film and the banter was really funny with him getting everybody to beep their horns, no doubt we disturbed all of the surrounding area with our noise!!

A really fun evening and its a big shame they only put the event on once a year, we will certainly be going to the next one and I hope you do too!

love,

Lilies for a lady

Chris showed up one day last week at my student digs with these big bunch of flowers, aren't they beautiful? He said they were because he was not able to spend the weekend with me and he just wanted me to know he cared and how he always thinks of me when he is away. The rest of our evening involved a stroll through our favourite neighbourhood and along the sea walls, a stop at a wine bar/bistro and a take out pizza sat on my bed.

Got to love lazy mid-week evenings.
