I awoke on this Saturday morning and resisted reaching over and playing Minecraft. Things really are that obsessive at the moment. My son stirred and joined me for Ipad in bed around 8am. We had our breakfast and headed to town to take care of a little business for me and then called at the toy shop for him and bought a golden plastic sword. These things continue to please kids even in the age of such technology as iPods. Even as we ventured to Cliffe Castle's new play area and around the grounds, a stick became the new focal point of our play. Imagination is such a great gift. Our midday was put aside to play Xbox and Ipad games between watching a film two.
My last part of the day led me unsurprisingly to the cinema to watch 'You're Next'. I sat tired, even after consuming two coffees at home. I liked the film and walked out if the darkness back into the light of the afternoon. I could taste the town starting to get woken up for the evening. A group of asian people were loudly shouting at each other as I walked to the van with my headphones on. Just another way to block out the world; a glassy shield against reality between hiding my mind in books or films or just daydreaming.
I cleaned up a little as my tea cooked and settled down to watch a film and ended up with 'On The Road'. I followed this film with 'Jesse and Celeste forever' which I enjoyed much more. As midnight drew close I decided I'd hit the hay.
