[US07] [Photo] More about last night

As I arrived at [livejournal.com profile] martinhesselius', I was greeted, vetted and accepted by the Matter of Britain, his black, incredibly cute and curious cat. We played a bit and took a few photos, too:

[livejournal.com profile] hearthwitch, a friend and neighbour dropped by and we all went around the block for Mexican dinner. The food was simple but good, cheap as chips (almost literally, my spinach burrito was under $7) . We also ran into two more of [livejournal.com profile] martinhesselius' friends (which isn't really a surprise as he has so many) there. We dropped off [livejournal.com profile] hearthwitch and then set out on a little tour of Birmingham while Glas told me a little about it's history. We visited Vulcan (a huge statue) who overlooks the city. Sadly, the weather was still miserable or we might have had a good view (not sure how long it's open, though).



Vulcan

The next stop was a pagan cafe, one of Glas' hangouts where we met more of his friends and after talking about Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman decided to go to the cinema and watch Stardust.
We got there and it was only ONE DOLLAR! For a film in a reasonable cinema. That's about 50p currently. *cries* Still, the film is so good that I'll go and see it in Cambridge again, anyway.

After the cinema we met up with [livejournal.com profile] aeromancer13 who also crashed at Glas' as he was in town for urgent family matters. We chatted quite a while about this and that while checking emails/processing photos. I think I got the earliest night during my whole holiday as Glas would leave at 7.30 in the morning. I had a good night's sleep and all was good.

That is indeed a very cute cat!

How big (roughly) is the statue? It's difficult to get a sense of scale...

Ahhhhh, the kitty looks just like our Blackjack :)

Cute!

56 feet, apparently the largest cast iron statue in the world.
