On Sunday I went with my mother, father, Sir Baz, the FP and Affafto see Thomas and Boney Joe play football. They’ve both joined teams. It was raining, it was windy and it was freezing. Cue terrible terrible 70s flicked hair. Affaf behaved really well until we got to standing on the edge of the pitch. People were warming up with footballs. He wanted a football as well. Cue a few sulks and tantrums.
It was Boney Joe’s first match. He looked very nervous. Every time the ball went near him he panicked and either stayed on the spot moving it around a little or kicked it to the nearest person to him.
Affaf had been told not to cross the line indicating where the pitch began and were spectators should stop. Cue Affaf walking over the line. In the end Boney Joe’s team lost 5-4. The team all got presented with medals afterwards. I think Affaf wanted one too. He followed Joe to queue up.
We had to wait an hour in the rain and generally poor conditions until Thomas’s match. He played very well. The goalkeeper on his team has the best name EVER. Literally. He is called Aslan. When Baz was shouting out his encouragement for the team he shouted to Aslan, “COME ON ASLAN! ROAR!” Aslandidn’t look impressed. Neither did he look impressed when Baz actually roared at him. He was the loudest person there, often coming out with remarks like “Come on! Get it! That’s your ball, it’s your ball!! Mark ‘im, mark ‘im!! SHADOW HIM! Get in some space!” He plays football himself. He still managed to fall over in the field, straight onto his back/arse. I did cackle. A lot.
Other news…. NEARLY time for Prince Caspian. Can’t wait to see it on the big screen. I actually feel excited. I got my Prince Caspian soundtrack today. It’s amazing! Some songs make me nearly cry. William Moseley’s next project sounds really good, I look forward to that also. *Swoon*
I got my Flowers in the Attic DVD too. I’m not sure about it. I think Louise Fletcher is great as the Grandmother, she really goes well in that role. Victoria Tennant quite suits her role as Corrine too. But the actor who plays Chris, he looks nearly 30 when Chris is supposed to be an adolescent. He’s nothing like I thought he should be. Neither are the twins. And they missed out some of the key aspects in the book as well as adding in some of their own. I’m not sure as I like that. It’s all very 70s too.
I’m going to see Prince Caspian on Saturday with my sister and my neice. I am excited. About the film. And the pick and mix.
Somehow I left this comment on another random post from a few days ago. Probably because I’m tired. So very very tired.
I am excited too. I prefer Revels to Pick and Mix….mainly due to the fact Pick and Mix make me really poor.
I bet you are tired with all your placement work. How is it going?
Actually I change my mind…I prefer Salted Popcorn.
