Feeling relaxed

--Someone's going to say 'Down in front!' in a minute.
--Yeah, 'I'm trying to watch the film'.
--It's not a film, it's real!

Notes from my weekend west:

Went into Kings last night with Tris. Were supposed to be going to see a film, but Wes and Wesleybuffer joined us for a drink, so we stayed out. Kings was quieter than the usual night, and it was quite a relaxed night.

Spent the morning walking round the grounds. Took a lot of pictures with my new camera, because I don't have any pictures of the cottage and I want to show it off to my friends back in Swin.

Went over to the Dartmouth Regatta yesterday afternoon with Tris. Wandered around a bit and watched the aerial display by the Tornado. Tremendous display, although the noise was phenomenal. Even so, we eventually got bored of walking laps of Dartmouth's town centre. Went over to Hope for a bit, where Tris' mum quickly put him to work taking photographs for the local paper.
Returned there in the evening with Wes and Wesleybuffer, as it looked like Kings was going to be a washout. Watched a fireworks display that was impressive by small village standards, and stood around in the Hopeless Wanker chatting. Watched a fire-juggler drop his flaming baton on a young boy's head, and announced to the rather crowded family room of the village pub that there was no Father Christmas.

Took my dad out for a couple of drinks last night. Had a few games of pool -- lost 3 games to 1 in fact. It was nice being able to have a drink with him without the constant distraction of the television in the background. Also nice watching him struggle to match me pint for pint. Had a good laugh.
