What's Not To Like?

A bracing walk with the Groupie around the Treborth Botanic Garden (under the care of Bangor University) and down to the Southern side of the Britannia Bridge. I love this coastline and its human interventions.

A benign intervention
Shopping at Waitrose - such a civilised store even if the parking bays in Menai Bridge are too narrow.

Late lunch/early dinner at the Panton Arms in Pentraeth. Excellent food (as ever), great service (as ever), washed down with Glaslyn Ale from the Purple Moose Brewery. The Groupie had hake and a glass of sauvignon blanc.

Paddington 2. I loved the first film and I think this sequel might even be better. Ben Whishaw as the voice of the lovable bear is a very fine actor (a brilliant Richard II) but he runs the risk (as per the Robin Williams example) of his greatest work being as the voice of an animation. Altogether a warm and uplifting movie, viewed at the end of a day when I already felt uplifted. 8/10. Slept the sleep of the innocent - quite something for a gnarled old lawyer.
