The trip to Brighton was enjoyable. The Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen parked at the marina and walked along to check the time of the film (last time we watched a film there the times advertised on the internet were not the same as those actually scheduled by the theatre).
We then strolled along towards El Patio for some tapas, only to find that they had closed down and were to become yet another Italian restaurant. We turned and headed back for a Cafe Rouge where we had a simple but adequate meal. GF is ambivalent about Cafe Rouge. He cannot get enthused by the thought of going there, he finds the decor drab, and the staff indifferent, and the menu uninspiring (I suppose it is a good reflection of Parisian cafe culture). Having said that, the food is always very good, and this trip was no different.
Leaving Cafe Rouge we headed for the cinema. We had not gone specifically for one film - it was rather a case of picking a film from those that were showing (though the pick was made before leaving home). We watched National Treasure Book of Secrets - with Nicholas Cage. This a a fine Boy's Own type of yarn in the genre of Indiana Jones. Good fun, and escapist nonsense.
