That was who on the menu today! We started off with a couple of chapters of The Prisoner of Azkaban, then K & I watched a dvd of A Midsummer Night's Dream while M started on a painting by numbers she'd received for Christmas. K enjoyed the film but did comment that there was 'too much kissing'!
We then watched another dvd, which I found really funny. It was this 1957 black & white series of Five on a Treasure Island. What I found particularly funny was the beginning and end of each episode, it was so dated, it was like a modern parody, with a question written across the screen and a stereotypical RP accent asking 'Will the Five escape from the island? Tune in next week to find out!' (or words to that effect), then at the beginning of the next episode there was a brief resume of what had happened previously, but it was done by the actors, who first told you who they were and then what they'd done last week 'I'm Julian, George's cousin, and last week she told us about the wreck near her island!' type thing. It lead to a nice discussion about what the expression 'dated' means anyway!
Then there was a couple more chapters of Harry Potter, including Dementors and therefore chocolate before it was time to brush teeth before bed, and finally a bit more William with A as he finished off William the Match-Maker.
