Friday night Ben was out, so we went to see Episode III - a mistake in retrospect. As we already knew the outcome of the film (mostly bad things happen) there was only novelty in *how* they happened. I think we went to get out of the house and 'tick the box' as much as anything. Seeing Natalie Prortman laying there pretending to be dead broke Chris's heart afresh. The only good part about the evening was bumping into Sarah B (one of our Sarah's close friends) on the way back to the car.
Saturday came and went. It was nice to see Martin Hathaway (Vicar for Somerton and Heyford parish) again, when he dropped by in the morning. But apart from that, the day was a bit of a washout really. We'd also hoped that some of the stuff from ebay would arrive, but only Chris's trousers turned up. Considering these were the last things we bought, and they had the cheapest postage, I can see some neutral or even negative feedback happening soon.
Sunday improved a bit, with the church dividing in 2 to meet in a couple of houses. Good to see some of our extended family again, and spend some time with each other. Ben went off to Oxford again with some friends, and we...... didn't do anything again, except play 'taxi driver'. Well, Chris visited someone in the village, while I went with Ben & a friend to Oxford and drove the car back for him.
The weather doesn't help either: overcast a lot of the time, but usually clear, bright and cold first thing. High of 15'C to 16'C with about 5'C overnight. This is June, darn it! The air *feels* dead cold on bare skin without the sun, and with everything else it's making us reluctant to get out much.
