Of course we're mature enough to be parents.....what are you saying?

We went to the cinema tonight for perhaps the last time before the baby comes (it is due next Saturday). So you might be thinking we would go see a nice, adult themed move, and in which case you'd be wrong, Monsters versus Aliens it was.

It wasn't too bad, not the best film I've ever seen, but there was a guy there who looked like Comic Book Store guy (without the ponytail) who seemed to like it.

At it early?

So I was lying in bed this morning, it was getting on and I had to go to work, so Tina was giving me the odd nudge to try to 'encourage' me to get up. I had my arm across her belly at the time, and then, as well as Tina, the baby decided to start to prod me as well.....I decided I probably should get up at that point.....

A little bit of Tina's.....

....what I see.

Here's a picture so you can see what Tina looks like with about 4 weeks to go. She looks pretty healthy to me!

Don't believe everything that you read!

On Friday we went to see Ed Byrne's stand-up show in Aylesbury (at the civic centre). This is about a 30-35 minute drive away from home, and when I bought the tickets a few months ago I was a little concerned that it was pretty close to the due date of our baby, luckily he/she didn't decide to pop out to say hello earlier than expected.

The ticket said the show started at 9 (doors at 8) which I thought was surprisingly late for Aylesbury, not sure of the reasoning behind that, probably just because it wasn't London.

Anyway, in a move that is totally unlike me, I decided that we should leave with plenty of time to get there, so we weren't late. We found the place at 8:15, which, I thought, would give us plenty of time to get some good seats (it was unreserved) and use the toilet/get a drink etc. It turned out, however, that our tickets were wrong and the show actually started at 8, so we basically missed the first 10-15 minutes, very annoying. It obviously wasn't all tickets either, as the place was basically full.

With regards to the show, he was very funny, Tina particularly laughing when he was talking about weddings and wedding preperation, and the whole thing lasted about 2 hours, which meant the missing 10-15 minutes wasn't so bad.

The next show at that place was the Lady Boys from Bangkok, I'm not sure that is my kind of show to be honest so I won't be attending.

Also, another thing that made me laugh was, on the way home, we passed a crash that had just happened (well, the police arrived at the same time as we did), and then about 20 metres down the road from the crash was a sign saying "thankyou for driving carefully"...teehee

Good ol' Jim

We won tickets to go see Jimmy Greaves' show on Friday. I had to explain to Tina who he was (or at least jog her memory) so she was happy enough to go. It was only in Harpenden so it wasn't too much of a trek.

He was very entertaining, but basically he was just telling (football related) jokes, and not particularly new ones, but still, I didn't expect any less, though I thought that maybe we would have got a few more true stories.....ah well

Ouch

I got a ball in the face from very close tonight, my nose really hurts :(

Also, I can't believe how bad the weather was again for playing tonight. I have only been playing on Tuesdays for about a year, and it seems to be the worst day for playing as there have been thunderstorms, blizzards, gales etc etc, and it is never that bad on Mondays and Wednesdays, I don't know why.....
