When we returned home yesterday the TV had arrived, so this delivery at least had worked well. Today is a quiet day, we were late home last night, but still awake at 7am. Time to catch up with the blogging, and enjoy Karen's American breakfast - pancakes, maple syrup, bacon (freshly cooked), scrambled eggs, and cinnamon bread. Then more time spent learning the tablet while Job finishes her knitted blanket.
We went out to the local Crackerbarrel for lunch. There was a long wait for a table, and an even longer wait for food. Karen spoke to the manageress, and the service improved. She also gave us our meal for free.
As it seems impossible to get to a drive-in, I will have to settle for seeing The Hobbit in a regular cinema. There is only one in Auburn, so it is an easy choice. The next 2D show is at 8:55, which is rather late. It means that we won't be back until midnight. The cinema is a huge multi-plex, our theatre is almost empty. The seats are very comfortable, and the building is reasonably clean. The Hobbit has been criticized for being too long, everyone agreed, except me. It is so long since I have read the book that I can't remember a lot of the details in the story. The key points I recognize, but the dwarf history I do not - time to re-read the book.
