111.
The heavens burst open with a vengeance today, which was a shame after the promising start. Liam asked if he could go over to his best friend's house to mess about in the tree house they built nearby. I looked out the window and said it would be better if Joe came over here and we could go to the cinema instead. Best Dad ever... Normally I would walk to the cinema, but today we got a taxi because of the weather (this is a one car family, and Linda needs it for work)... the water was gushing out of the drains! Anyway, we got to the cinema to watch the latest blockbuster (can you guess which one?), which the kids seemed to enjoy ('That was good. It had lots of fighting and no kissing', was Liam's verdict). The cinema is a strange set-up. It is a multiplex, but the only place the tickets are checked is at the entrance to the foyer - one you're past the barrier check, you can go into any theatre. When our film was over, we were all for going in to see another... but we would have had to wait over an hour, so we decided against it... Next time, though! By the time we got out, the rain had stopped, so we walked home - only to discover that my roof has a small leak. If it's not one thing...

A bit of a cheat on the picture... it was taken by my ex-wife on Lake Windermere in the English Lake District in 1987. I did scan and process it today, however!
