Watchfodder

Now the Autumn nights are kicking Summer's memories into touch, I've started to get excited about watching films again. As I can't cycle, or walk, or swim after work (unless I hang around onsite to use the facilities there) I'm thinking about spending my evenings indulging in movies. With many months ahead before it's light after tea again, I figure I can plough through a fair number of silver-screen offerings before the joys of Spring finally wander round again to say hello. I can rewatch some old favourites, catch up on some new releases I missed while working, and maybe even uncover some gems that have passed me by in recent years.
That's the plan, anyway. Whether children, marriage, distraction and employment will allow it to happen remains to be seen.
On a similar theme - one thing that seems to have improved my relationship with Philippa in the past couple of months has been my ability to just sit beside her on the sofa while she watches something I'm not interested in. I don't understand why it means so much to her, but it does, and it's a simple, painless gesture that has had startlingly meaningful results.
