Given that we didn't get home from the Young's this morning until 2.00am, it probably wasn't too much of a surprise that I had the house to myself when I got up just after 9.00am until midday, when Helen, Maddi and Josh finally got their arses out of bed. Jess didn't rise until about 1.00pm, so I had some quality time watching the Man vs Food marathon on Austar.
Helen decided that she wanted to play Monopoly this evening, but Jess was proving to be a hard case. Having tried at every opportunity to play her My Monopoly setup in recent days, she now decided she just wanted to return to bed with her new school notebook and surf the net. After much gnashing of teeth, and a change of game to The Game of Life, she finally surfaced, and the family games night eventuated after all, which I believe Madeleine won quite easily.
Helen and the kids went off to bed at 9.00pm, with Helen having to work tomorrow morning, so I took the chance to watch Quentin Tarantino's new film, The Hateful Eight. Loved it. Thought it was just brilliant. OK, so it probably ended on a slight whimper, but I still thought the set up and the story was good, as well as the performances, especially by Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Walton Goggins. Well worth a look for anyone who loves Tarantino's work.
