Today we belatedly celebrated David's birthday by going to his favourite restaurant (TGIF of course!) followed by a visit to the cinema to see the newly released James Bond latest film - Skyfall. And what a great day we have had. Ally joined us at TGIF straight from his train; he had been through in Edinburgh seeing Cat. He had watched the film with her on Friday evening, dressed in a tuxedo (Ally is always stylish and loves an opportunity to dress up!), however he had enjoyed it so much that he decided to watch it again with us. The film has received very good reviews and I certainly had no complaints: the action sequences had me on the edge of my seat and I enjoyed it fine. The theme tune by Adele has also been much praised; I thought that while it is pleasant enough it's not very original - every time she sings "Sky-faaaaall!" you could easily insert "Diamonds are forever" instead, because the two tunes seem very similar to me. Daniel Craig is excellent as a slightly weary but valiant Bond, and Dame Judi outshines the other Bond girls (not bad for a seventy-seven year old!)
Later Grandma came round for tea as she always does on a Sunday evening and we watched the dance-off on Strictly Come Dancing. Strictly is an old favourite and also a bonding experience for me and Grandma, especially since James is not so keen on it as we are!
