Wild Things

I had a date with my lovely boy to see "Where the Wild Things Are". I thought it was ambitious to spread a short children's story into a long film, and for me the plot line was really thin. In fact I fell asleep quite near the beginning. Well, I have had a very busy day!
Still, the Wild Things looked good, and I felt sorry for the goat who was so lacking in confidence. However I have to deal with little Wild Things squabbling all day, so I can't say I really enjoyed it. My lovely boy did though, and that's why we went!

Later we walked across to Borders which is in its death throes. It's so sad to see one of our very favourite shops in disappearing. We bought a collection of classic novels at a much reduced price. I'm looking forward to re-reading Hans Christian Andersen's FairyTales. At face value, just a children's book, but poke a little deeper to find darkness and sadness within.
