Day 49 - 08:18am, 18 February 2019
Family movie time, and we have just finished watching the third Johnny English film which came out on DVD today. I can't remember the last time we all laughed so hard. On Little Miss' request we watch scene 11 over, in which see Johnny English runs amok in central London with a virtual reality headset on, oblivious to the chaos that he is causing. I am not one for physical comedy, but there is something both ridiculous and lovable about the spy who gets it so wrong and yet, in the end, always gets it right.
When the kids go to bed, we watch the recording of the final programme in the latest Cold Feet series. It's a different sort of comedy. Like an old friend returning that knows the absurdity of life, but whose gentle humour allows them to steer a way through the inevitable ups and downs, and in doing so makes you believe that with the good friends alongside you, you can get through absolutely anything. So while raucous laughter clears the cobwebs away, the best medicine is almost always laughing with those who know and love you best.
