    Sorry I could not post yesterday but I was dragged to the cinema by her in doors! I bet you can guess what she made me watch?

    Back to business. Reasonable morning and then it was just dire! Cloud, cloud, dark cloud, light cloud and then it [STRIKE]rained[/STRIKE]! No the sun came out around 18:45. What use was it too me at that time of day? Never saw it as I was on the way to the cinema!

    Oh for anyone who cares the Film was Mamma Mia 2 (Not as good as the first in my opinion which goes against the critics)
