I have a terrible effect on my friends. So friend of mine who isn't even a fencer texts me to ask if there's a competition on in London because he's just seen a bunch of people with kit bags.
Other than that, while out shopping yesterday, I was in Lush and ran into teenage daughter and father shopping for mother's day. It was every cliché going, including him turning round to me (who literally had her arms full of Lush stuff because it's my first Lush binge since November) and saying "it's so thrilling" in the most deadpan tone imaginable.
I managed to find a perfect mother's day card for my grandmother, and found a reasonable one for my Mum. It's just so hard to find cards for her. My Nan is easy, she likes syrupy verses, but Mum and I both loathe them, but the non-syrupy cards are all "mother who likes handbags" (which my mother doesn't, not in the way they mean), "mother who likes chocolate" (which she doesn't) or "mother who doesn't like football" (which she does, to the point of phoning me to rant about United's choice of goalkeeper).
In films, I do think people at the time were unfairly harsh about The Sorcerer's Apprentice. It's a fun little film.
