Django is 2 days into his school holiday. It's treat time. I take him to his favourite restaurant for lunch, Starvin Marvin's. A rather authentic American dinner set in a long aluminium casing on the A40 diagonally opposite the Hoover Building. We then go to the Cinemas to see 'Flushed Away' the computer generated Aardman feature.

Half way through the film my ear pops back to normal, exactly one month from the moment it popped on the descent into Milan on the way to Venice.
