Disaster movie

It has been a quiet weekend which is just what I wanted. It has been a very busy time at work and after going away to celebrate our anniversary last weekend I felt that I wanted a peaceful time before I go away on a Duke of Edinburgh expedition next week. So we have mostly stayed around the house and garden which has been very pleasant. The weather has been mixed and full of contrasts - one minute it has been lashing with rain and the next it has been warm enough to sit outside reading. James has been gardening, David has been painting Grandma's fence, I have read two books (the C-Word by Lisa Lynch and The Humans by Matt Haig), and we all watched two films on Netflix that I have been wanting to see; The Theory of Everything and Wild. And we also went to the cinema to see the delightfully clichéd disaster movie, starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson; San Andreas. It had everything that you could wish for; a series of massive earthquakes, a tsunami, fires, an exploding dam, collapsing buildings and bridges, a love story, a wise scientist, a beautiful girl and her geeky young suitor, a cute child, a helicopter, a speedboat, an evil architect / stepfather, redemption and reconciliation. Davie hated it because he said it was "just awful" and he has a point! But it was entertaining.
