Indoor and out - things to do on a wet weekend

It’s going rain this bank holiday weekend. Or be sunny. Or perhaps something in between. Apparently. For many this is the last weekend of the summer before the kids go back to school, and all your colleagues show up again at work. So what can you do on a wet weekend. Here’s what the Telegraph have come up last week  - mostly family-oriented ideas, though one of them - going for a swim in an outdoor pool - will probably win few votes from parents!

For those of you more inclined to hide away and embark on a catch-up of some good films here is the list of the Top 250 films of all time from the IMDB (Internet Movie Database) website, the ‘biggest, best and most award-winning movie-site on the planet‘. To my shame, I haven’t seen the all-time number one or number three but I am glad to see Pulp Fiction, The Usual Suspects and Memento in the Top 30, three masterpieces that absolutely stunned me when I saw them at the cinema when they came out. Though these do all have some violence in them, I still think I am too squeamish to watch the numero uno on the list. Maybe I’ll take the plunge this weekend. Not in the outdoor pool, but watching ‘officially’ the best film of all time!
