Blackout

Birthday party

My godson’s birthday is on July 21. Today he celebrated his birthday with a small but convivial party.
First we ate pastries in the Pompadour, an excellent pastry shop. There were two other children and about ten adults.
Then we went to see “Kung Fu Panda.” It was my godson's biggest wish to see “Kung Fu Panda” since Kung Fu Panda entered his life.
On this balmy afternoon the theatre was almost empty.
After the break the theatre experienced a blackout. We waited for more than twenty minutes, during which the three children acted as if they all were Kung Fu Panda themselves. Then we gave up, the children and mothers went to a playground and I went back to my hotel.
It was a happy birthday party, even though I can only guess what the ending of “Kung Fu Panda” will be.

Born on the 21th of July? He should become the new king of Belgium – rumors said we need a strong man, or a Kung Fu Panda. (No mister De Crem, it is not you I refer to).

To end the probably sleeplessness inducing uncertainty of Mr. Grunberg: The panda pretty much deelt de lakens uit at the end of it. Without losing his integrity.

Two weeks ago, Laura and I went to a vintage drive-in theater to see "WALL-E". An hour after the movie was supposed to start, we were informed that the show was canceled because the audio system had broken down. We went home that night feeling curiously unfulfilled.

After the raving reviews I decided that I have to see WALL.E as well.
Have you seen the complete movie by now?
Could you recommend it?
How is Laura? You have been silent about her for a long time

Unfortunately, we still haven't had a chance to see "WALL.E".
Laura is doing very well. I will let you know how she likes the movie.
