Busy Day

My day commenced with a trip to the Odeon for the 10am showing of The Mummies, which was quite fun if loud (and had Sean Bean doing posh voiceover for an animated Pharaoh).   
It was Ferretfingers' choice so I made him sit through it.   He sat through right to the very end of the credits, announcing "The light's come on" when they did and, on the extra bit "Ooh Happy Endings", before galmumphing out followed by his giggling mother.

We are back in a fortnight to watch The Mario Brothers Super Movie or some such;  

he was given a small poster on the way out.

On our return I made him help make a 'healthy' brunch of scrambled eggs on toast, followed by a banana.  I find I can only do decent scrambled eggs in the microwave.

I've had a satisfying afternoon.  

Three varieties of tomato, California Wonder sweet peppers, marrow and sunflower seeds are planted and sitting on the bay windowsill covered with clear(ish) plastic trays in hopes of keeping the cats off.   
I have separated the jade plant cuttings into three pots (one each).  They're quite forgiving plants, the only things that kill them are frost and overwatering.   
Apropos of which I've managed to kill all my scented leaf geraniums by leaving them out over winter and not keeping at least one in the house.

Getting the seeds planted means I can finally have a go at the pile of sewing, altering and creating waiting on top of the sewing machine cabinet.

After taking Thunderthighs to get his ears syringed.

And unless something else comes up ...
