Back at home

Returned home to my cosy bedroom and decent Internet after the car ride from hell. As we were leaving Bournemouth we had to attach a ladder to the roof of the car, we had done it before however so it was perfectly alright. As mum begun accelerating at about 40 MPH there was and odd tapping noise coming from the roof, presumably something was loose so we pulled over and tightened it up, the same thing happened a few minutes later so we stopped again. After a third stop just before the motorway we had a proper go at it, making sure there were no bits rattling around. We hit the road again and this time there was no rattling, thank goodness.

Now I want you to make a low pitch humming noise, then try to hit a high a note as possible while still humming. Kinda annoying isn't it? Now imagine that, ten times louder, for a little over an hour... That would accurately describe the car trip, oh and that there was little to no leg room, but that sounds like nit-picking in comparison.

After that stressful experience I decided to watch something a tad light-hearted so I put on M.A.S.H. Despite a very mumbly and difficult 20 minutes or so, the film begun to pick up and develop some structure. I probably wouldn't call it a great movie as it has dated a little bit but there is still some humour to be found, the last supper moment was a highlight and although the ending sequence is very unexpected and unnecessary it is certainly a lot of fun.
