Now showing

... [continued from yesterday] ... It was a long evening, but a pleasant one, after which it was time to see what was showing in Carl's Kino. I knew it was late, but it only when I transferred the photos over to the pooter that I realised exactly how late. This shot of the opening creits of Finding Nemo was taken at 2.45 am.

Later evidence suggests that either than I gave up without finishing it or watched it right through and then switched to The Shining, which was also out of its case. I can't honestly say which happened.

Back in the land of the wakeful, I persuaded Carl to go out to lunch. I phoned both The Martello (doesn't do lunch during winter months) and Tribes (lunch finished serving, re-opening for dinner at 5.30). Naturally, the only option was to pass some time in The Eagles pub across from Tribes, where we finally got a table before 6.00. Tribes is one of those places where the standard varies from incredible to adequate. Carl assured me that they're back on song, and he was right. We had a really wonderful meal, enormously enjoyable and perfect in every detail.

I got back home around 9.00 pm (I think).
