Today is Bernards birthday, and we went to see War Horse. It’s a shmaltzy film about the brotherhood between a horse and a man. Although expertly dialed-in by Spielberg, we all found it quite enjoyable 🙂

Later on we had a lovely meal of Chinese food.

For the rest of this post, some random images collected throughout the trip so far…

This is a child’s toy vehicle believe it or not! It’s about 4 foot tall in total.

The selection of fresh hound food in grocery stores is impressive. Some of it looks good enough for men.

Of course I’m exaggerating here. I personally liked the sausages (although I think I was the only one), but the fries were abysmal, barely cooked even after 80+ minutes in the oven. Most of them ended up in the trash.

We all had a good laugh at the awfulness of it. And then I ate a lot of lollies to get the taste out of my mouth 🙂

There’s been a lot of this going on here in Newcastle:

The other night we (in other words, me) decided we’d play a silent hand. Here it is:

And, as a bonus video, here’s me at the San Jose science museum about 5 or 6 years ago:
