Late Saturday Night...

My son and I have just got in from a night out - unusual for us, we haven't done it in ages! He received some free movie tickets for Xmas, and wanted to see "A night at the museum", so off we went. (He also wanted supper at the Spur, but I'm on a strict budget..)

The movie was pretty good. We both enjoyed it - and the tyre scene had me curled up laughing (yeah I know, easily amused). Ben Stiller does a great job in comedy. We hung around until the last of the credits to check out how many animators had been involved - 48, plus specialists!!!

And then, getting into the car, I realized I had no lights. Shucks. One small glow on the non-bird-damage side (still no headlight units in stock anywhere), but nothing else. I drove home very carefully by the light of a half-moon, with emergency lights flashing. Back here it seems I have manual brights - so it may just be a fuse this time (holding thumbs).

Found something else when we got home - two large frogs! They've discovered the slight dripping from the hot-water heater (geyser to us SAfricans) overflow, and in the heat of recent days seem to have found that's the place to be. We saw one a few nights back, and they're a good sign. Shows our local environment is not quite as damaged as I'd thought, though frog-song has been in short supply in recent years.

Now it's just gone 11pm. I must be getting old - I'm past tired. In my late teens and early twenties I would have just been getting started, but now this old lady needs all the beauty sleep she can lay her hands on. So it's off to bed for the both of us.
