I hadn't thought it through though. If you're watching a film in public, you need to think about the people around you...especially children. So when I started watching Riddick, I quickly realised that the monsters, the blood, the gore and the violence were totally inappropriate. I had to shield everyone from the horror fest. The same applied for my next selection, Filth. Sex, drugs, transvestites, violence. The perfect family viewing on Eurostar. I was sat next to a Muslim, and felt awful. Oops.
I didn't plan things too well, and when I arrived I realised that I hadn't packed either toothpaste or deodorant. The local shop stocked only women's deodorants, so I pranced around the slopes smelling like a bunch of flowers all week. The same shop sold me a tube of toothpaste for £10....
Apart from that, the holiday was a gem...still loads of snow for the skiing antics, and loads of sunshine too. No more holidays for me this year...I've been away so much this year that Easyjet has categorised me as a frequent flyer.
The Cat and Cat's Mother seem to have enjoyed themselves in my absence...I'm sure quality time together was very welcome for the both of them. I thought it would be fun to text The Cat's Mother only in French...she obviously liked the idea so much that she would ring me back and speak in English...may be it was because my texts were based on 'O' level French of some 35 years ago...
The Boy is in Amsterdam for a week with friends...staying on the Boatel. I'm sure that it won't be the sea that gives him sickness this week.
