THE LOCAL CINEMA (7)

I had big news to announce at this evening's do at the local cinema. We have just placed an order for 78 new seats from China to replace the 114 that we presently have. The seats will be wider and smarter than the current, rather faded, chairs, and there will be a lot more legroom between the rows. They will also be attached to a newly sloping floor, that will be built during July when we close for the summer. When we re-open in August, it will be to a completely refurbished auditorium.

After digesting that, all the volunteers watched this week's film, Hypnotisören ("the Hypnotist"). A typical Scandinavian thriller from Sweden, full of dark, frozen landscapes, dark, frozen souls, and lots of dead bodies. I rather liked it.
