Dispatches from Asteroid Hopkins

chopping trees

We went to the cinema to try and prepare Kirby for the trip he's taking with his class later this month. We watched the same movie they will see. Earlier this year, we watched … Migration i think it was called, and that got too scary for Kirby in the second half and we left the cinema. Since then, he didn't want to return to watch something else.
Anyway, it was a kids movie, the third of a series about Santa Clause's Reindeer, called Nico, and one father in the row before us fell asleep, with the sound of his snoring increasing over the running time of the film. At first i thought it was one of the reindeers breathing heavily, towards the end, he was being awakened by his family every odd minute.
There is a reason i don't enjoy cinemas, and it's other people. I miss the days when we had time and opportunity to go to early screenings, where you had a maximum of ten people attending, and everyone was in the know when it came to etiquette.
